the medication in question is paxil
Brief Answer:
Explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Yes, paxil (Paroxetine) can lead to such a picture where you tolerate a drug for a year and then have side effects. Its anti depressant effect can also diminish in specific populations of patients. Other features that can worsen include headache, anxiety, insomnia, tremor and sexual dysfunction.
You may request for a switch over to another SSRI, if the symptoms persist and no interaction cause is determined.
