[Clinical effects of paxil in poststroke rehabilitation].
The efficacy of antidepressant paxil was studied in 30 patients, aged 30-70 years, who had survived stroke in the interior carotid arteries area, with pronounced affective disorders (illness duration over 3 months). Paxil was prescribed in an initial dosage of 20 mg daily during 12 weeks. A significant clinical antidepressive and anxiolytic effect of paxil was observed and confirmed by the data of cluster analysis. An inclusion of paxil in a complex of rehabilitative measures allowed to improve patients quality of life.
