Is paroxetine chemically related to any of the major tranquilizers
e.g. chlorpromazine (I noticed the fluorophenyl piperidine) and that
where the disturbing side effects come from? The older SSRI's have
side effects (cholinergic, weight gain) but generally they didn't seem
"disturbing" (no tardive diskinesia type as opposed to the major
tranqs.)

I have tried the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI)
paroxetine
a.k.a.
(3S,4R)-3-[(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yloxi)metyl]-4-(p-fluorophenyl)piperidine
,
a drug with a rather impressive side effect list. I noticed the first
effects
after two days. This drug appear to be called ``Paxil'' in the U.S.
Do you call this drug a ``regular'' SSRI?
If not, which ones do you refer to with the term ``regular''?
