This medication can cause various side effects, so caution is advised. Cardiac-related issues may include chest pain, fainting, blood pressure fluctuations, and in rare cases, severe problems such as myocardial infarction or heart failure may occur. It can also affect the central nervous system, leading to psychological symptoms such as drowsiness, dizziness, insomnia, hallucinations, or suicidal thoughts. Symptoms related to the eyes and ears may include tinnitus, eye redness, and itching. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include abdominal bloating, changes in appetite, or nausea, while urinary and reproductive system symptoms may involve urination issues or menstrual irregularities. Skin reactions may include rashes, itching, or swelling, and liver function test levels may be elevated. During the use of this medication, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery because it can affect the central nervous system, reducing response speed and concentration. When used with other central nervous system depressants such as sedatives or sleeping pills, caution is necessary, as this medication may not alleviate withdrawal symptoms that occur when stopping the other drugs. This medication can interact with dopamine receptors, which may lead to symptoms such as restlessness or movement disorders, so care is needed. When taken with other psychiatric medication or alcohol, there may be interactions, so it is essential to consult a physician. Particularly when taken with MAO inhibitors, blood pressure can rise dangerously, so co-administration should be avoided. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a doctor before taking this medication, and nursing mothers should preferably avoid it.
