Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Paxil CR from Canada?
90-day cost = 90 tablets at the usual dose of 1 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price of the same strength (25 mg); rows for other strengths show no saving. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Paxil CR used for?
Paxil CR (paroxetine) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), a common type of antidepressant, in a tablet that releases the medicine slowly. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used in adults for:
- Major depressive disorder (depression).
- Panic disorder.
- Social anxiety disorder.
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of PMS.
Paxil CR comes as 12.5, 25 and 37.5 mg controlled-release tablets taken once a day, usually in the morning, and swallowed whole. Boxed warning: the label carries the FDA's strongest warning. In short-term studies, antidepressants raised the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children, teens and young adults, so people taking them are watched closely for mood changes. Paxil CR isn't approved for children. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Paxil CR from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Paxil CR, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic paroxetine extended-release before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, GlaxoSmithKline sells Paxil CR 12.5 mg and 25 mg tablets under the same name, listed as marketed; Canada never marketed the 37.5 mg tablet (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12). In the U.S., Apotex now sells Paxil CR.
