Withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and tremors may occur, so abrupt discontinuation should be avoided. Drowsiness, dizziness, visual disturbances, blood disorders, liver function abnormalities, blood pressure reduction, gastrointestinal symptoms, allergic reactions, etc., may occur, and if any abnormal symptoms arise, consultation with a physician is necessary.

Special care is required for children and the elderly, as side effects may occur more easily in the elderly, so starting with a lower dose is recommended.
