Hi, I have just been prescribed Pexep CR 12.5 mg (1 tablet per night). Off late I have felt very burnt out due to work stress, have had lot of mood swings (there are days when I feel depressed, feel like crying), can't get any work done. I also suffer from poor quality sleep (for the past 1 year) & the doctor gave me some sleeping pills (Lonacen 0.5 mg). He has told me that both medications will be stopped at the end of 2 weeks. He has also put me on a multivatimin tab & Omega-3 supplement. Do these medications sound correct for my problem? What are the side effects & withdrawal symtomns? Vikram

HiThanks for using healthcare magici think, you have adjustment disorder or depression. In that case, you need antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine. Paxep contains paroxetine and it is a antidepressant. Better to take these drugs for few months rather than few weeks. That would help you more. It has some minor side effects like delayed ejaculation, gastritis, anxiety symptoms etc, but that resolve in few days. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
