Is Etilaam Safe To Take Along With Paxidep?
Question: Can etilam0.25 is safe to take with paxidep 25
Brief Answer:
Yes it is completely safe
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
For a 36 year young male 25 mg of paroxetine is well within safe limit and unlikely to cause any serious side effects. Similarly etizolam is safe either alone or along with paroxetine.
During the first few weeks of treatment sometime it is necessary to give benzodiazepines (etizolam) along with paroxetine. I mean to say that your current prescription is well within standard recommendations and there must not be any safety issue.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

dr as its mentioned that swallow the whole tablet of paxidep as its dangerous to crush or chew the tablet but its difficult to swallow the tablet as medicine intake is by crushing the pill and having with water cannot swallow the medicine what should be done
Brief Answer:
You need to take it whole
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
25 mg of paroxetine is controlled release tablet which need to taken as whole. If you break it will act as immediate release and not as controlled release.
I mean to say that it is safe to take after crushing but the controlled release purpose will be no more if you crush.
I hope this assists you further.
Thanks and regards.
