The Big Question: Am I In Danger If I Take Paxil?


Know the Risks of Taking Paxil and How to Stay Safe

The best person with whom you can review your Paxil (paroxetine) use with is your doctor. Your doctor can let you know if your are in any type of danger.

He or she can help determine if you should keep taking Paxil during your pregnancy.

FDA is advising health care professionals to discuss the potential risk of birth defects with patients taking Paxil who plan to become pregnant or are in their first three months of pregnancy.

Health care professionals should consider discontinuing Paxil (and switching to another antidepressant if indicated) in these patients.

In some patients, the benefits of continuing Paxil may outweigh the potential risk to the fetus.

FDA is advising health care professionals not to prescribe Paxil in women who are in the first three months of pregnancy or are planning pregnancy, unless other treatment options are not suitable.

Your doctor may consider giving you a drug other than Paxil to reduce the risk of birth defects in your baby.
