Which SSRI is indicated for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause?

Sertraline
Fluoxetine
Citalopram
Paroxetine

The correct answer is: Paroxetine

Paroxetine is the correct answer for this question. Paroxetine is the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is specifically indicated for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. This indication for paroxetine sets it apart from the other SSRIs listed. While other SSRIs like Sertraline, Fluoxetine, and Citalopram are commonly used for treating depression and anxiety, paroxetine has been approved for treating menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.
