HI
Thanks for healthcare magic
Prothiaden is a tricyclic antidepressant and pexep contains paroxetine, which is a SSRIs. Proxetine is better than prothiaden in efficacy and in tolerance. It has lesser side effects as compared to prothiaden. It has few side effects like gastritis, nausea, sexual dysfunction, but these are very minor side effects. According to your duration of illness, may be you have to take it for life long.
