The primary purpose of this study is to compare the steady-state pharmacokinetic profile of paroxetine CR (controlled-release) at the dosage of 25mg/day using the proposed final market tablet of CR 25mg in Japan with that of standard paroxetine IR(immediate-release ) at the dosage of 20mg/day using the currently marketed tablet of IR 20mg in Japan.
