Caffeine naturally occurs in some plant foods including cocoa beans, coffee beans and tea leaves. It stimulates your central nervous system and causes more frequent urination. Your body does not store caffeine. It goes quickly to your brain after ingestion and passes in your urine hours later. Paxil is a brand name of the generic antidepressant drug paroxetine. Sometimes, Paxil is recommended for the same health condition in which caffeine is contraindicated.
Tension Headache
The most common type of headache is a tension headache, according to Medline Plus. People with chronic tension headaches have one twice per week or more for at least several months. Triggers for tension headaches include too much caffeine and reducing or stopping caffeine intake, as well as overexertion and jaw clenching. Prescription treatments include Paxil, muscle relaxants and antidepressants. Non-prescription treatments include relaxation techniques and over-the counter painkillers.
Panic Disorder
If you have panic disorder, you experience sudden panic attacks peaking after 10 to 20 minutes and lasting for one hour or more. To qualify for this diagnosis, you must have at least four of a number of symptoms, listed by Medline Plus, during an attack. They include chest pain, fear of dying or losing control, feelings of detachment or choking, upset stomach and heart palpitations. Reducing the amount of caffeine in your diet and getting regular exercise are natural remedies to reduce the amount and severity of your attacks. Your doctor may also prescribe medication such as Paxil to help ease your symptoms.
Menopause
Menopause is the medical name for the period of transition a woman experiences when her menstruation becomes less frequent and she stops ovulating. Typically, menopause happens between the ages of 45 and 55. Symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, insomnia and headaches, may last five years or more, but typically occur for the first one to two years after your last menstrual cycle. Ways to reduce these symptoms naturally include avoiding caffeine, eating soy foods and remaining sexually active, advises Medline Plus. Your doctor may prescribe Paxil or other medications to help easy your menopausal symptoms.
Acetaminophen, Aspirin, and Caffeine
People take a combination of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine as medication to relieve pain and reduce fever. Caffeine helps by stimulating your nervous system and relaxing your blood vessels, which improves blood flow. Do not use this medication if you have a caffeine allergy or are nursing a baby. Talk with your doctor before taking Paxil with aspirin, warns Drugs.com, which can cause you to bruise and bleed easier.
