Yes, once your symptoms are controlled and the paroxetine has started acting, eventually your doctor will change it to Pexep Cr 25

Pexep plus is combination of two drugs while pexep cr contains only one drug. It may affect your condition if you change it without the guidance of your treating psychiatrist. I advise you discuss your problem with a psychiatrist before making any changes. All the best.

Hello lybrate-user, pexep plus and pexep cr are different medication. While pexep plus is a combination of paroxetine plus clonazepam, pexep cr is plain paroxetine (controlled release). If you wish to take pexep cr then you have to take 0.5 mg of clonazepam with it so that you don't face withdrawal.
