Paxil is used for treating depression or OCD. It may also be used to treat panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, or social anxiety disorder.

Paxil is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).Depression and anxiety disorders are sometimes caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. One of these chemicals is serotonin, it helps send electrical signals from one nerve cell to another. In the process, serotonin is released from one nerve cell and travels to the next, where it is either absorbed or returns back to the original sender cell.

We can find nothing in the literature to indicate a problem with paroxetine (Paxil) and hydrocodone. You should know, however, that hydrocodone exaggerates the symptoms of depression. Since paroxetine is often prescribed for depression and similar disorders, it would be a good idea to talk this over with your physician and/or pharmacist.
