Are Frequent Headache And Nausea Side Affects Of Paroxetine?

Hi Doctor,

I asked you a question couple of weeks back from my healthcare magic account (Aditya Komanduri), and you had suggested me to take paroxetine 12.5 mg daily at night, diagnosing me with general anxiety. I started taking the tablet 9 days back. Initially I started feeling better, but since yesterday I am getting headache and nausea, and they seem to be increasing day by day. Also, I am feeling increased sweating and hear beat. Could these be effects of paroxetine, and should I be continuing it? Also, if I stop taking paroxetine, will I be having any withdrawal symptoms like unable to concentrate and focus and going back to the same stage as I was before starting to take paroxetine?

Please let me know if you need any additional information

Regards,
Aditya

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

It could be the side effects of paroxetine. Nothing to worry about it. It would over in few days. Better to carry on with drug at same dose. In case, it increases, you can take clonazepam on sos basis. If you try to stop it, chances of getting anxiety is high. You can also consult your psychiatrist or physician for further management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
