Paxil CR? Paxil SR is a common misspelling of Paxil CR.
Paxil CR® (paroxetine controlled release) is a prescription medicine that is licensed to treat depression, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Part of a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, Paxil CR works by acting on a chemical in the brain called serotonin.

A few of the medical conditions you should let your healthcare provider know about before you take Paxil CR include kidney problems, seizures or epilepsy, and bipolar disorder or a family history of bipolar disorder. If you happen to overdose on Paxil CR, seek medical attention immediately. Some symptoms of a Paxil CR overdose include nausea and vomiting, a rapid heart rate, and fainting.
