Suggest Complications With Low Nitrite Oxide Levels

I take Paxil due to my anxiety/depression condition and it works well. Is there a danger because of the supposed low nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide via endothelium cells controls life itself. I am in great shape, work out and eat very healthy. Should I be concerned as I want to live a long life

Hello
You are taking paxil for anxiety and depression.

The morbidity and disability due to untreated depression and anxiety is far more than that due to antidepressants.
These are relatively safe drugs and can be reduced and stopped gradually as the depression is resolved.

You can practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation to control anxiety.

Thanks
