Is There Any Problem With Taking Same Medication Which Is Off Two?

I usually take a generic 20 mg paxil which was blue. When I received my new prescription it is now pink and is another generic brand named: paroxetine hcl 20 mg tab gr ee and my stomach is a now a mess.
Are there any issues with this generic brand paxil I should know of? Or any other complaints?

Hi, Gone through you query and understood your concerns.

Paxil (paroxetine) is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Paroxetine affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced.

Paxil is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Don't worry regarding the brands and colours of medicine. They act the same.
Keep using in prescribed doses. Just don't worry.

Hope this guides you. Thank you.
