Out of celexa and paxil, which one is more likely to cause impaired thinking, or confusion?

Answer:
Paxil is more sedating than Celexa, so I would expect more impaired thinking from Paxil due to feeling tired. Outright confusion is rare from SSRIs.

Hi. Thought I would answer, seeing as no one else had:
From BNF:
For celexa, side effects include: "palpitation, tachycardia, postural hypotension, coughing, yawning, confusion, impaired concentration..."

So that one would;

Paxil, side effects include: "yawning; less commonly arrhythmias, transient changes in blood pressure, confusion; rarely panic attacks"

It mentions confusion, and says rarely panick attacks, so I would say this one is less likely to cause impaired thinking or confusion.

Hope this helps
