Neurological symptoms such as headaches, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and dizziness may occur, so caution is necessary. Hormonal changes such as gynecomastia or elevated prolactin levels may occur; notify your doctor if any unusual symptoms arise. Regular blood tests may be necessary as platelet or white blood cell counts may decrease; if there are any abnormalities, stop taking the medication.
