Medical Solutions

Paxil for Insomnia: Pros and Cons
Paxil is a drug that is now commonly used to treat insomnia. It is, in fact, a medication for people who suffer from anxiety of any kind - generalized anxiety, panic attacks, post traumatic stress, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. People who suffer from these disorders also often suffer from insomnia, since insomnia in many cases is the result of another, underlying problem or illness, above all depression or anxiety. Paxil is prescribed especially for patients whose insomnia affects their lives to the point where they cannot function properly during the day. In these cases, Paxil can offer enough relief from the underlying anxiety to allow the patient to get sufficient sleep to begin functioning again.

Higher levels of serotonin seem to have a calming effect on a patient?s moods and go hand in hand with a lessening of anxiety and depression. (more…)
