Hello.Paroxetine is a safe drug. There are people who take it for 10 years without problems. No problem take a few months more. If you suffer gastric discomfort, drugs as Omeprazole 20 mg can be prescribed. Also tell you that whenever you take an anti-inflammatory drug in combination with paroxetine,necessarily must take a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole).
I wish you good health.
