Seroxat is a medicine that contains the active ingredient paroxetine. This type of medicine acts on nerve cells in the brain. It helps to relieve depression, panic and fear. It can also be used in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. It must be taken for at least 14 days before it starts effective. Every medicine has its side effects, including this one. It is important to realize that medicines and their possible side effects affect individuals in different ways. The fact that your friend has gained weight does not mean that you will gain it too. It does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience side effect. The most common are dry mouth, insomnia, tremor, sweating, dizziness, seizures, visual disturbances. Weight gain is not listed as a side effect of this drug. If you have some additional questions, I advise you to visit your doctor.
