I have recently been prescribed it for mood disorders. Is it addicting? I know its not a controlled substance, neither is paxil. And when I miss a couple of doses of that I am a ball of tears on the floor

If you have questions about your health or medicines, talk to your healthcare provider.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking paroxetine?
You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to paroxetine, or if:
- you are also taking pimozide or thioridazine; or
- you are being treated with methylene blue injection.
Do not use an MAO inhibitor within 14 days before or after you take paroxetine. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, and tranylcypromine. After you stop taking paroxetine you must wait at least 14 days before you start taking an MAO inhibitor.
To make sure paroxetine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- heart disease, high blood pressure, history of stroke;
- liver or kidney disease;
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder;
- seizures or epilepsy;
- bipolar disorder (manic depression), or a history of drug abuse or suicidal thoughts;
- narrow-angle glaucoma; or
- low levels of sodium in your blood.
Some young people have thoughts about suicide when first taking an antidepressant. Your doctor should check your progress at regular visits. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms.
Taking an SSRI antidepressant during pregnancy may cause serious lung problems or other complications in the baby. However, you may have a relapse of depression or other treated condition if you stop taking your antidepressant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Do not start or stop taking this medicine during pregnancy without your doctor's advice.
Paroxetine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.
Do not give paroxetine to anyone younger than 18 years old without the advice of a doctor. Paroxetine is not approved for treating depression in children.

I took abilify to calm my anxiety and get some focus. When I took that stuff I got wicked pumped. I could understand if you miss a couple of doses you get down. The drug is a stimulant.
