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

  1. Sertraline

  2. Fluoxetine

  3. Citalopram

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.
