Another question about Paxil - Open to All Other Health Topics Message Board

AprilW · 09-04-2002, 05:08 AM

So many questions so few answers!! After reading another members post and replies, I visited one of the suggested web sights. While reading the side effects, under if you experience any contact your Dr immediatly I saw yellowing of skin or eyes. I have a strip of yellow across both eyes, not dark but none the less visible. What could this be? I never would have thought it was caused by Paxil. Any replies would be appreciated!! Thanx April

I don't think its anything to be alarmed of.
If your eyes and skin were completely yellow, that would be a sign of jaundice, which means something is malfunctioning in your liver. You should see your doctor, or even emergency if something like this happens.
But if its just a bit of pale yellow in the corner of your eyes or around there, its most likely cholesterol deposits. Nothing to be alarmed about with that, but if it concerns you, ask your doctor.
