Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses the use of antidepressants for anxiety disorders. The term "anti-depressants" is really a misnomer, and may cause individuals to believe that their only option for treating anxiety disorders with medication, are to use medications with abuse potential (which is NOT TRUE). SSRI's and SNRI's can be some of the most-effective forms of treatment for anxiety disorders, for certain individuals.

Dr. Pagnani is the founder and medical director of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates, an Instructor at The Johns Hopkins Hospital for the Department of Psychiatry, he supervises psychiatric residents at Jefferson Hospital, he serves on the Young Professional Board of Uplift, the Center for Grieving Children and he maintains a private practice of Psychiatry in Philadelphia where he sees patients for one-time psychiatric evaluations and second opinions. He is a licensed physician and surgeon in NJ, PA, NY, MD, DE, FL and CA and can provide consultations to individuals via HIPAA compliant Telehealth visits living in these locations.

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a private practice of psychiatry consisting of about 25 psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychotherapists with physical locations in Philadelphia and Paoli, PA and serving all of PA, NJ, NY and FL virtually via HIPAA compliant tele-psychiatry. Individuals seeking not only evaluations but long-term psychiatric care, can contact Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates directly.

These videos aim to increase awareness and discussion of mental health topics and to encourage struggling individuals to schedule an appointment directly with a mental health provider. Mental health needs to be normalized, and simply speaking about mental health topics openly, is an important first step.

Dr. Pagnani and Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates are NOT advocating for or against the use of any mentioned psychiatric medications for any specific individual. Additionally, any side effects mentioned are not a complete list of potential side effects or contraindications to taking any mentioned medications, and all risks and benefits of a medication should be discussed with an individual’s provider at an appointment, before starting, stopping or making changes to a medication regimen.

Questions about Paxil:

1. How do people get put on paxil?
"There is the standard....anxious, depressed, not able to sleep...but, pretty much ant time you go into a psychiatrists office, you are going to come out of it on a drug. There is no logic to it honestly" - Lyle Murphy
2. What does Paxil do to the brain?
What we believe is that in the synapse specifically, that it reuptakes serotonin. Serotonin is a neurochemical that is an inhibitor, it's not something that's going to raise you up out of depression. It has an inhibitory type of effect.
3. What does Paxil withdrawal look like?
We believe that the drug does not have the capacity to make serotonin, rather it spends it. For some people, Paxil seems to work for years and years. There is a large part of the population however, where Paxil may work in the beginning, but then the effect wears off. Sometimes when coming off Paxil, or when doing it too quickly, a person could experience a serotonin plunge. This could look like a lack of impulse control.
"It's amazing what can happen if somebody comes off these drugs too quick" - Lyle Murphy
4. how long does Paxil withdrawal last?
The recommendation is NOT to cold cold turkey. If a person were to go cold turkey off Paxil, usually the Paxil would begin to leave their system after the 2nd to 3rd day. usually the Paxil will be metabolized after 7-10 days, but that doesn't mean the symptoms will end. It only means the Paxil is out of your system. The key to getting of Paxil safely is to do it at a rate in which your brain chemistry is able to respond. At the ATMC inpatient center it is possible for most attendees to fully get off Paxil in about 8-10 weeks time. Doing it from home however, could take substantially longer and require licensed supervision.
5. What helps with Paxil withdrawal?
You should always consult with a licensed practitioner for your individual needs. In general, what we see, is since Paxil is working with the serotonin pathways, when a person comes off Paxil, more than likely they will experience a serotonin plunge. At Alternative to Meds center, we use a supervised approach, utilizing a slow taper and the proper nutrients, to help people recover.
6. Is Paxil a mood elevator?
Most people think that taking an antidepressant would help to "lift" your depression. But, is that really what Paxil does? To read more about Paxil please visit: https://www.alternativetomeds.....com/antidepressants/
7. What are Paxil Brain Zaps?
Brain zaps are a very common phenomenon. This may occur when the serotonin deficit is so much, that you experience spontaneous firing of the neural pathways. If you are having brain zaps, it's usually a sign that you need to slow down your Paxil withdrawal.

Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses Paxil (paroxetine) an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) that can be utilized for the treatment of several psychiatric conditions including anxiety and depression. This medication has a short half life, and can be one of the biggest culprits of serotonin withdrawal (meaning, it needs to be tapered slowly for most individuals, when wanting to decrease the medication or stop it). With that said, it can be very effective for some individuals for treating their primary condition. Like all SSRIs, it can also be prescribed to treat premature ejaculation for some individuals.

Dr. Pagnani is the founder and medical director of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates, an Instructor at The Johns Hopkins Hospital for the Department of Psychiatry, he supervises psychiatric residents at Jefferson Hospital, he serves on the Young Professional Board of Uplift, the Center for Grieving Children and he maintains a private practice of Psychiatry in Philadelphia where he sees patients for one-time psychiatric evaluations and second opinions. He is a licensed physician and surgeon in NJ, PA, NY, MD, DE, FL and CA and can provide consultations to individuals via HIPAA compliant Telehealth visits living in these locations.

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a private practice of psychiatry consisting of about 25 psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychotherapists with physical locations in Philadelphia and Paoli, PA and serving all of PA, NJ, NY and FL virtually via HIPAA compliant tele-psychiatry.

Long-Term Paxil Side Effects
Unfortunately, when the efficacy and risks of drugs are studied, the length of the majority of these studies is only short term. However, many Americans who have been prescribed SSRIs have been taking them for 10 years or more. This is troubling, as there have been some severe risks associated with long term use of antidepressants, such as a 14% increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke. Worse, long-term Paxil use is associated with a 33% increased risk of death.
Serotonin plays vital roles in immune function, digestion, and growth. Continuous disruption of these levels may have wide-ranging negative effects, especially for certain populations. The side effects of Paxil in elderly patients can include negative effects on cognitive function, as there is strong evidence that the long-term usage of Paxil may lead to an increased risk of dementia. Also, between 1-8% of patients taking Paxil in various clinical trials developed hypomania and mania symptoms. Paxil has been used to treat hot flashes associated with menopause.
While Paxil may decrease incidents of hot flashes, the side effects of Paxil for hot flashes are most commonly fatigue and dizziness. Few studies have been carried out on use of SSRIs during pregnancy, but the ones that are published show increased risk to the infant including premature term, smaller head growth, and the potential for numerous other birth defects, for which the drug maker has been fined over $1 billion in damages to 800 cases reported up to 2010. No data for later lawsuits concerning birth defects has been published on extensive search.

Serious side effects of long-term Paxil use include:
Tremors
Loss of coordination
Restlessness
Muscle weakness
Tingling
Numbness
Black stool
Hallucinations
Eye pain, redness or swelling

While most SSRIs aren’t a primary concern for recreational use, dependency is a possibility with any drug. According to the FDA, Paxil withdrawal symptoms can be severe and “treatable only by restarting the drug.” Withdrawal symptoms occur when the drug is stopped after drug dependency has developed.

Symptoms of Paxil withdrawal include:
Agitation
Aggression
Diarrhea
Forgetfulness
Headaches
High blood pressure
Insomnia
Sexual dysfunction
Sweating
Weight gain
