Will I receive the original Paxil?
No. Paxil is the originator brand name, made by GSK, and Yasabai uses it to identify the medicine: you receive a generic with the same active ingredient (paroxetine) at the same dose, mostly a recognised Indian branded generic. The exact brand depends on stock.

Paxil comes in 10, 20, 30 and 40mg strengths, in packs of 30 to 360 tablets, and the price per tablet for every option is shown above, in US dollars or the currency you choose. Larger packs cost less per tablet. Paying with Bitcoin or Ethereum gives you an extra 10% off.

Paroxetine usually starts to work within 1 to 2 weeks. The exact timing differs between people.
What are the side effects of Paxil?
