Rexetine, 30 pcs., 30 mg, film-coated tablets
Inside,
1 time per day, preferably in the morning, during meals, without chewing.
As with therapy with other antidepressants, depending on the clinical condition of the patient, the dosage of the drug can be changed after 2-3 weeks.
For depression:
The recommended daily dose is 20 mg. As with other antidepressants, the effect in most cases develops gradually. Some patients may require an increase in the dose of the drug. Depending on the patient’s response to therapy, the daily dose can be increased by 10 mg at intervals of 1 week until a therapeutic effect is achieved; the maximum daily dose is 50 mg.
For obsessive-compulsive disorders (obsessiveness syndrome):
the initial dose is 20 mg/day. The dose may be increased by 10 mg weekly until the desired therapeutic response is achieved. The maximum daily dose is usually 40 mg, but should not exceed 60 mg.
For panic disorders:
The recommended therapeutic dose is 40 mg/day. Therapy should begin with a small dose (10 mg/day), with a weekly increase in dosage by 10 mg/day until the desired effect is achieved. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 60 mg. The recommended low initial dose of the drug is due to the possibility of a temporary increase in the intensity of the symptoms of the disease at the beginning of therapy.
For social phobias:
Therapy can be started with a dose of 20 mg/day. If after a 2-week course of treatment there is no significant improvement in the patient's condition, the dose of the drug can be increased weekly by 10 mg until the desired effect is achieved. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 50 mg. For maintenance therapy, a daily dose of 20 mg is usually sufficient.
For generalized anxiety disorder:
The recommended therapeutic dose is 20 mg/day. Depending on the patient’s response to therapy, the daily dose can be increased gradually by 10 mg; the maximum daily dose is 50 mg.
For post-traumatic stress disorder:
The recommended therapeutic dose is 20 mg/day. Depending on the patient's response to therapy, the daily dose can be increased periodically by 10 mg, the maximum daily dose is 50 mg.
Depending on the clinical condition of the patient, maintenance therapy must be carried out to prevent possible relapses. This course, after the symptoms of depression disappear, can last 4–6 months, and for obsessive and panic disorders, even more. As with other psychotropic drugs, abrupt cessation of treatment should be avoided. In weakened and elderly patients, the level of the drug in the blood serum may increase above normal, so the recommended initial dose is 10 mg/day. This dose can be increased by 10 mg weekly, depending on the patient's condition.
The maximum dose should not exceed 40 mg/day.
The drug is not indicated for children due to lack of clinical experience.
In case of renal (Cl creatinine <30 ml/min) or liver failure, the concentration of paroxetine in the blood plasma increases, therefore the recommended daily dose of the drug in these cases is 20 mg. This dose can be increased depending on the patient's condition, but one should strive to maintain it at the lowest possible level.
REXETINE (tablets)
in intensive care (he came here after taking Amitriptyline).
I am writing this so that you understand that depression is not just tears and snot, it is also serious problems with other organs, including the heart. Cardiologists shrugged their shoulders, surprised and unable to find any pathologies in the main human organ. Then my arms and legs began to go numb - they were icy. Then the husband began to choke - there was simply not enough air. In general, everything at once and most importantly - no one could help. Naturally, I tried to convince him to go to a psychotherapist, but he flatly refused. In the end, I achieved my goal and made an appointment for my husband to see a psychotherapist. After testing, the doctor diagnosed him with moderate depressive disorder. At that time, my beloved was in such a terrible state that you wouldn’t wish it on your enemy. He could lie on the couch all day long and stare at one point, trying to sleep. But sleep did not come. Neither day nor night. And this despite the fact that before he could sleep almost standing up. And sometimes he sat on the Internet and read article after article, trying to find at least some useful information about his illness. He also pestered me, forcing me to look for symptoms of his insomnia on websites and forums. And in general, it seemed to him that his case was unique, that he was the only one on the planet and that not a single doctor in the world could diagnose him.
After the diagnosis was made, my husband was prescribed the drug “Valdoxan,” which did not help, but only worsened the situation. And two weeks later, Valdoxan was replaced with Rexetine. These pills literally pulled my husband out of depression, but not immediately, but gradually.
At first there was no effect and the husband tried to give up everything. But I persuaded him to continue taking the medicine by reading reviews about Rexetine on the Internet. From reviews and from a doctor, we learned that the drug acts slowly and needs to accumulate in the body. It accumulated in my husband’s body for 1.5 months. After this time, I noticed that apathy was replaced by frantic energy. He finally forgot about the illness, although the insomnia did not completely subside. He stopped thinking negatively and started smiling. He also began to pay attention to me (and this was almost 6 months after the onset of the illness).
Now his energy is overflowing. Six months of voluntary house arrest are over. Now my husband can’t sit at home, he needs to do something, go somewhere, do something. There are still problems with sleep, but still the effect of “Rexetine” is colossal, the changes are global!
There are, however, side effects. In particular, sexual function was impaired and tremors appeared in the hands. As the doctor said, this is a temporary phenomenon that will disappear after o. And at the very beginning of taking it, there were problems with vision and perception of reality, but they went away after about a month.
I won’t say that the drug is suitable for everyone, everything is individual. And under no circumstances should you prescribe “Rexetine” to yourself - there may be dire consequences. Health and happiness to everyone!
The price of the pills and my first treatment results
What can I say about my feelings? Now 4 months have passed, there are definitely positive changes in my condition. I can move more or less calmly on public transport, and I started going to art exhibitions. I haven’t tried to force myself to go to the cinema yet, but I really hope that Rexetine will help with this. The drug has a cumulative effect, so I’ll give it another 2-3 months and I’ll try to “storm” the auditorium)))
Well, at the end of my review I want to please people with the relatively low cost of the product. I bought Rexetine at a pharmacy in Moscow for 795 rubles. This is the price for 30 tablets at a dosage of 20 mg. One package lasts me a month. I think this is more than good. I remind you once again that before buying an antidepressant you need to go to the hospital. The drug will not be sold to you without a prescription.

Contraindications and analogues of the drug
Separately, I would like to highlight possible restrictions on taking an antidepressant. Unfortunately, there are quite a few contraindications due to the large list of side effects. I did not experience any complications during the treatment, but in the reviews there were often references to sleep disturbances, dizziness, and increased sweating. There were also records of allergic reactions. Some people have reported hives, swelling, itching and burning of the skin.
The ban on treatment with Rexetine applies to:
- pregnant women;
- young mothers feeding their babies with breast milk;
- children (under 18 years old);
- people suffering from severe pathologies of the kidneys and liver.
If you are at risk or experience side effects, immediately consult a doctor. I think a specialist can find analogues of the tablets. For example, Plizil, Paxil or Adepress.
How and why Rexetine works
I bought a package of the drug at the pharmacy and decided to study the instructions first. To be honest, I understood little from the description. Probably the terms are intended for specialists or chemists. In simple terms, the main component of Rexetine is paroxetine. This element is able to increase the concentration of serotonin in the central nervous system. Thus, improving mood and normalizing sleep. I read that many men even have their libido restored)))
I scrolled through the browser a little, looking for reviews from ordinary people about the drug. I read a lot of good things. It turns out that Rexetine has quite strong psychostimulating properties.
After taking the pills, the proper activity of brain cells is normalized and anxiety is significantly reduced. I was a little worried about side effects, but it turned out that the drug is metabolized in the liver and is excreted in equilibrium through urine and feces.
How to take Rexetine
The instructions for the drug state that the dosage is purely individual. Most often, the doctor prescribes initial therapy with a single dose of the drug per day.
The tablet does not need to be chewed and can be taken at any convenient time (preferably in the morning), regardless of meals. In my particular case, the doctor advised me not to risk it and take half a tablet. After two weeks I had to slightly increase the volume of the medicine.
Average dosages of Rexetine:
- severe depression – 20-30 mg per day;
- social phobia - usually no more than 20 mg;
- compulsive-obsessive disorders – up to 40 mg.
The treatment period is quite long. In the reviews, people wrote that it was impossible to suddenly stop taking the drug. Typically maintenance therapy lasts 4-5 months.
Reviews from buyers of the drug
I was worried that I might get hooked on pills. Movies constantly show that antidepressants are like drugs and are very difficult to give up. The doctor reassured me, saying that Rexetine is not addictive. I decided to make sure of this and look for other people’s reviews of my medicine.
“I am very glad that I found these pills. I have VSD (vegetative-vascular dystonia). For people unfamiliar with this disease, I will write that the main symptoms are a surge in blood pressure and panic attacks against this background. Rexetine really calms and relaxes. I took the course and haven’t had any problems with blood pressure for 6 months. I haven’t noticed any addiction, at least I don’t have any desire to constantly take the drug...”
A lot of reviews concerned seizures associated with VSD. I do not suffer from such a disease, but I think that this is an indicator of the effectiveness of the medicine. I know that dystonia is difficult to control, and if Rexetine succeeds in this, then we can hope for a good result with other diseases.
“I treated my husband with Rexetine. He became depressed after experiencing severe emotional overload. Don't think that mental fatigue is just inconvenient. A couple of times even an ambulance was called for attacks of tachycardia. The antidepressant really helped. Two weeks and my man began to smile at least sometimes and is gradually returning to normal life...”
Good reviews strengthened my confidence in the correctness of the prescribed treatment. I decided for myself that in a few months I would definitely stop being afraid of crowds and go to some interesting film in the cinema.
Who should take an antidepressant?
First of all, I want to write that I am not crazy. For some reason, many people, when they see “psychotropic” mentioned in the description of a drug, immediately imagine a schizophrenic or something else “more fun.” In fact, antidepressants help with many health problems, in particular treating sleep disorders.
Rexetine was recommended to me to suppress my fear of large crowds of people. Nothing terrible, but I really wanted to get rid of the panic that arises from concert halls, cinemas and other public places.
I went to the doctor. The specialist conducted testing and reported that I suffer from a mild form of agoraphobia. He said that this condition can be controlled by taking pharmacological drugs that affect the central nervous system. In particular, the doctor advised to pay attention to Rexetine.
“Don’t think that your problem is isolated.
Several dozen people come to me every day complaining of a fear of closed spaces and other phobias. Start treatment with a course of Rexetine. These pills are great for relieving panic. At least, reviews from my patients confirm the effectiveness of the drug" Oleg Efimovich, neurologist, psychiatrist, Moscow
I received a prescription, but before purchasing it I decided to make sure that the specialist prescribed the correct treatment. I went online and found out that Rexetine is indeed recommended for various panic conditions, prolonged depression, obsessiveness syndrome, and stress-related mental disorders.
