Dear Sir
All the medications that we use, even simple medicine for fever can have side effects. However, not all the people get side effects. Paxidep is a safe medicine and it has been started on a low dose. It can have certain side effects like nausea, slight increase in anxiety, drowsiness..however very few people experience these side effects at such a low dose..also they usually subside in a weeks time. So, kindly continue with the medicine.don't stop it without consultation with your psychiatrist. And if you develop any side effect, talk to your psychiatrist about it.
Thanks
Regards

Hello,
It's a low and good dose to start with. The improvement in your symptoms is more important than some of the side effects that may or may not occur. It will take care of both depression and obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms. The dose need to be gradually increased depending on your tolerance and improvement.
Next Steps
Consult your psychiatrist or you can consult me for any help required.
