Important safety information
Antidepressants carry a boxed warning for increased risk of suicidal thoughts in people under 25, especially in the first weeks of treatment or after a dose change. Seek help right away if mood worsens.
Rarely, combining serotonergic medications can cause serotonin syndrome (agitation, fast heart rate, fever, tremor). Tell your clinician about every medication and supplement you take.
Higher doses can affect heart rhythm (QT prolongation); your clinician may limit the dose if you have heart conditions.
Do not stop suddenly — your clinician will taper the dose to avoid discontinuation symptoms such as dizziness, flu-like feelings, or 'brain zaps.'
