Get a paroxetine (Paxil) prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.
• Specialist referrals in eligible provinces: Ability to be referred to a physician specialist for in-person care, if needed.
• Credit discounts: An $80 credit per month to be applied to a Maple specialist visit.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

At Maple, we proudly prioritize privacy as a cornerstone of our virtual care services. We strictly adhere to privacy and healthcare legislation in Canada, such as PIPEDA and PHIPA regulations, to ensure patients' personal and health information remains completely private and safeguarded.

Our policies and consent processes are designed to be simple and easily understood, empowering individuals with control and a clear understanding of their healthcare journey. When using our services, a patient’s session is protected by a comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies.

Patients also retain full control of their personal health information, medical records and test results at all times. Our approach is reinforced by consultations with leading experts, guaranteeing comprehensive policy frameworks that are reviewed at a regular cadence.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Paroxetine (Paxil) is an antidepressant belonging to the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) group. It works by affecting specific chemical (serotonin) levels in your brain. This leads to an increase in energy levels, an improvement in mood and ability to sleep, while decreasing levels of fear, anxiety and preventing unwanted thoughts.

Paroxetine prescriptions have also been known to increase appetite in some cases.

Paxil prescriptions are commonly used to treat people experiencing chronic depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks or other emotional disorders.

Paroxetine is also sometimes used to treat panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Paroxetine prescriptions are given as tablets or capsules, to be taken orally with or without food. Taking food with paroxetine could reduce potential nausea.

Dosage strength and regularity of use is based on your medical condition and your doctor’s recommendation.

To reduce the risk of adverse effects, your doctor may start you on a low dosage and then slowly increase it over a period of time, until you find the level that works best for you.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions for controlling your dosage. Paxil must be taken regularly, over a long period of time to get the best results.

If you’re considering a paroxetine prescription, you need to be aware of the possible side effects.
Common side effects include:

• Dizziness
• Skin rash
• Agitation
• Nausea
• Drowsiness
• Blurred vision
• Dry mouth
• Sweating or chills
• Trouble sleeping
• Irregular heartbeat
• Weakness or fatigue

Paxil prescriptions have also been shown to increase suicidal thoughts and behaviours in some pediatric or young adult patients. Parents or caregivers of these at-risk groups should monitor patients closely, so that they can recognize these symptoms right away if they start to appear.

Before you request a Paxil prescription, talk to your doctor if you’ve ever experienced:

• Bi-polar or manic-depressive disorder
• Suicidal thoughts or tendencies (or have a family history of this)
• Liver or kidney problems
• Seizures
• Ulcers or intestinal bleeding
• Low sodium levels in your blood
• Glaucoma (or have a family history of this)

You also shouldn’t take paroxetine if you’re taking pimozide or thioridazine, because it could cause serious side effects.

If you’ve been taking an MAO inhibitor (a different kind of antidepressant), don’t take Paxil within 14 days before/after the other medication, to avoid negative reactions.

If you have any questions about the medication, you can speak to a doctor on Maple by registering for an account.
