Question: is paroxetine used for hot flashes?
Answer: Paxil May Ease Hot Flashes. Two studies suggest that a low dose of Paxil (chemical name: paroxetine; another brand name is Pexeva), an antidepressant medicine, can lower the number and severity of hot flashes in some women. The research was presented at a meeting of the North American Menopause Society on Oct. 4, 2012.
