No I don't think so. Paxil is not a good treatment for a germ phobia may be the process is like self assament ,self refreshment and obviously doing meditation is the best policy to come out from any sort of phobia. Early rising, doing morning walk, meditation all these things are very important for coming out from the phobia.

Paxil is clearly not a good treatment for germ phobia. If the patient is depressed because of the germs, the Paxil might aid, but this patient needs a doctor.

paxil can be good for obsessive compulsive disorder and germ phobias are often a result of this condition. Other compulsions may be present which may be adding to the phobia.

Paxil can be prescribed for any phobia. However, you should seek a psychiatrist's diagnosis and prescription - never take medication like Paxil per self-diagnosis.
