Paroxetine

Hello Doctor, I have been taking Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg for the last 1 month for premature ejaculation, general anxiety, and mild depression. Earlier I was using Proxy CR 12.5 by Wilwin Laboratories, which was working well for me. Since that brand was not available, I switched to Paxidep CR 12.5 by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries about 4–5 days ago. After switching, I feel it is slightly less effective and I am experiencing more anxiety than before. I am also having daytime drowsiness that interferes with my daily routine, and regular stomach disturbance with loose stools. Is it okay to switch between these brands since both contain Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg? Do different brands sometimes feel less effective? Should I continue this brand for some time or try to find the previous one? Thank you.

Do I need an evaluation for ADHD?

As a child, I never liked reading novels, but always like encyclopaedias with random facts. I never studied from textbooks or made notes bc I absorbed everything in class & wrote whatever I could remember and was graded well. I was called gifted. But as I turn 20, and in engineering, trying to pursue a career of research which requires deep focus, tolerating uninteresting topics, long reading sessions, seems like a daunting task to me. I worry that if I talk about this specifically to a psychiatrist, he/she would feel I am faking it or extensively coming up with the right symptoms to fit the disorder. Recently, combined with the general hyperfocus periods on interesting tasks and disinterest & lack of drive for routine & mandatory tasks I have been experiencing brain fog, mood changes, and withdrawing from interactions, because they seem too much. I know I need help, but I do not know if my symptoms are real or if I'm exaggerating unintentionally. (History, diagnosed MDD, last yr)

Stress, cortisol, brain and body

Does chronic stress or elevated cortisol for a very long period of time, due to any reason, physical, mental, emotional or dietary, or any reason, kill off brain cells of body cells? Does it damage the brain cells forever? Like, kill them off and they never regrow? Please guide correctly. Does excess stress cortisol levels, that affects sleep, appetite and other parameters of the body, lead to loss of neurons( killed off or damaged)? Is this permanent or reversible? Please guide. Thanks
