Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Paxil contains paroxetine, which is an antidepressant and belongs to a group of drugs called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors. It affects chemicals in the brain that may have become unbalanced.
Paxil is used to treat several conditions like depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Buspar contains buspirone, which is an anti-anxiety medicine that affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety. It is used to treat symptoms of anxiety, such as fear, tension, irritability, dizziness, pounding heartbeat, and other physical symptoms.
For prescription of the drug which could work for you the best, you need to consult Psychiatrist and get evaluated first. According to your condition, the medications would be suggested.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
