Pexeva 20 Mg Side Effects

Sold in the form of a tablet,
 Pexeva® (paroxetine mesylate) is an antidepressant that comes in the following strengths:
 
  • 10 mg
  • 20 mg
  • 30 mg
  • 40 mg.
     
Regardless of whether your dosage contains 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, or 40 mg of Pexeva, it's important to be aware of side effects -- and to know what to do if they occur. For example, in clinical trials, the most commonly reported side effects of Pexeva included:
 
  • Nausea
  • Ejaculation problems
  • Insomnia
  • Drowsiness.
 
Serious side effects may also occur, but they are not as common. In rare cases, Pexeva has been associated with potential dangerous problems such as seizures, allergic reactions, or a painful erection that won't go away. If you develop any serious side effects during treatment, or if something "just does not seem right," contact your healthcare provider right away.
