Paroxetine is an oral inhibitor that falls under the category of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Paroxetine is also a very weak norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitor, capable of inducing cell apoptosis and having anti-tumor activity. Paroxetine has antidepressant, anti-anxiety, and pain-relieving effects, and it can help improve conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual anxiety, and chronic headaches[1][2][3][4].
