I've been taking Paroxinor for many years, but the anxiety has not quite gone away.

Long-term use of Paroxinor (paroxetine) to treat anxiety may not produce the desired results in some patients.

If anxiety symptoms persist after several years of treatment, I encourage you to consult your doctor again to assess the effectiveness of the therapy. Dose adjustments, medication changes, or psychological therapy may need to be initiated. It is important not to interrupt or modify the treatment without consulting a professional.

Please remember that pharmacotherapy supports the treatment of anxiety by most often affecting only its symptoms. The proper treatment is psychotherapy, which deals with the causes and is designed to lead the patient to healthy functioning, also without the use of drugs. Treatment of difficulties in the area of psychological functioning only with pharmacological agents carries the risk of intensification of symptoms after discontinuation of medication and or shortly thereafter. If you have not started psychotherapy (apart from taking medication), I encourage you to make an appointment for a consultation with an appropriate specialist. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
