How Xet CR 12.5 Tablet works

Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It increases serotonin levels in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake in nerve synapses, helping improve mood and reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.

How to take Xet CR 12.5 Tablet

Oral tablet (controlled-release). Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, preferably in the morning; can be taken with or without food. Swallow whole—do not crush, break, or chew. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause deep unconsciousness and dangerously slow breathing, particularly with alcohol or an opioid. It can cause fits, dangerous heart rhythm disturbance and coma, and is particularly dangerous with the older tricyclic medicines. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Most side effects of Xet CR are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

  • Nausea
  • dry mouth
  • dizziness
  • headache
  • sleepiness
  • insomnia
  • sweating
  • constipation
  • diarrhea
  • decreased appetite
  • tremor
  • sexual dysfunction

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions

Prescription-only antidepressant. Risk of worsening depression or suicidal thoughts, especially in young adults—monitor closely. Do not stop abruptly (withdrawal symptoms). May cause serotonin syndrome (agitation, fever, sweating, diarrhea) especially with other serotonergic drugs. Can increase bleeding risk (with NSAIDs/anticoagulants). Use caution in seizure disorder, bipolar disorder (risk of mania), glaucoma (may precipitate angle-closure), liver/kidney impairment, and elderly (hyponatremia/SIADH). May impair driving due to drowsiness/dizziness.

Do not take Xet CR if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with severe breathing problems, sleep apnoea, or severe liver disease. Not for anyone with a history of dependence, except under specialist supervision. Must not be combined with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, or started within the gap your doctor specifies after one.

Interactions with other medicines

MAO inhibitors/linezolid/methylene blue (contraindicated—serotonin syndrome), other serotonergic drugs (triptans, tramadol, lithium, St John’s wort), anticoagulants/antiplatelets/NSAIDs (bleeding risk), other CNS depressants (increased drowsiness), CYP2D6 substrates such as tricyclic antidepressants/antipsychotics and some beta-blockers (may increase their levels), tamoxifen (reduced activation/effect), alcohol (additive CNS effects)

How to store Xet CR 12.5 Tablet

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), in a dry place away from moisture and direct light. Keep in original blister pack and out of reach of children.

Expert advice for Xet CR 12.5 Tablet

Use it for the shortest course, and ask your doctor about talking therapy and sleep routine, which work without dependence. Take it only at bedtime if it is for sleep, and allow a full night before driving. Never share these medicines, and keep them secured. Give it a fair trial of several weeks, and keep your review appointments. Take it at the same time each day — at night if it makes you drowsy, in the morning if it disturbs sleep. Talking therapy alongside medicine works better than either alone for most people.
