Is paxil a maoi?

No. It’s an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), a “safer” class of antidepressants than MAOIs (monoamine oxidase). Paxil acts on one specific neurotransmitter in the brain (serotonin) wereas MAOIs act on several neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, and other amines).
