• Concurrent use of other serotonergic agents (due to serotonin syndrome risk)
• Use with caution in patients with **seizure disorders**, or **severe cardiac, hepatic, or renal disease**. Dosages may need to be reduced in patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment. If paroxetine is rapidly discontinued, withdrawal reactions can occur. If the patient has been receiving the drug for an extended period, a **gradual withdrawal** is recommended.

藥物相互作用

• Buspirone: Increased risk for serotonin syndrome
• Cimetidine: May increase paroxetine levels
• Cyproheptadine: May decrease or reverse the effects of SSRIs
• Digoxin: Paroxetine (in humans) can decrease digoxin AUC by 15%
• Insulin: May alter insulin requirements
• Isoniazid: Increased risk for serotonin syndrome
• MAO Inhibitors (including amitraz and selegiline): High risk for serotonin syndrome; use contraindicated. A 5-week washout period is required after discontinuing paroxetine, and a 2-week washout if discontinuing the MAOI first.
• Pentazocine: Serotonin syndrome-like adverse effects possible
• Phenobarbital: May decrease paroxetine levels
• Phenytoin: Increased plasma levels of phenytoin possible; may decrease paroxetine levels
• Propranolol, Metoprolol: Paroxetine may increase these beta-blockers' plasma levels and cause hypotension; atenolol may be safer
