About Depex 20mg Capsules
Depex 20mg Capsules contain Paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) prescribed for depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and related mood conditions. Paroxetine works by blocking the reabsorption (reuptake) of serotonin in the brain, increasing serotonin availability and improving communication between nerve cells that regulate mood, emotions, and behaviour.
Depex is effective for major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and panic disorder. Regular use under medical supervision leads to reduced anxiety, improved sleep quality, stabilised mood, and greater daily functioning. Full therapeutic benefit typically develops over 2–4 weeks.
Prescription required. Do not stop abruptly — gradual dose tapering under medical supervision is essential to avoid discontinuation syndrome. Consult your psychiatrist before making any dosage changes.
