This medication should not be administered to certain patients. For example, it should not be used in individuals who are allergic to this drug or in patients with severe liver and kidney damage. Additionally, patients with epilepsy, acute glaucoma, severe myasthenia gravis, and those taking certain antidepressants known as MAO inhibitors should not take this medication.

When taking this medication, various side effects may occur. For example, chest pain or changes in blood pressure, and sometimes heart-related problems may occur. Central nervous system effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, insomnia, mental confusion, and in severe cases, hallucinations or suicidal thoughts. Eye and ear-related side effects may include tinnitus, eye redness, itching, and, rarely, increased intraocular pressure. Gastrointestinal side effects may include abdominal distension, changes in appetite, and nausea. This medication may also cause urinary problems, menstrual irregularities, changes in libido, muscle pain, skin rashes, and liver function abnormalities. Rarely, severe symptoms of neuroleptic malignant syndrome may occur, so if high fever, muscle rigidity, or alteration in consciousness appears, medical personnel should be notified immediately. This medication is not used as an antipsychotic and should be closely monitored for the patient's response during the initial stages of treatment. It is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery after taking this medication. Also, unlike benzodiazepine drugs, it does not alleviate withdrawal symptoms, so patients who have previously taken sedatives or sleeping pills for a long time should gradually reduce the dose. This medication may interact with dopamine receptors in the central nervous system, leading to restlessness or movement disorders in some patients. Caution is needed when taking with other psychiatric medications, especially MAO inhibitors should not be taken together. It is also not recommended to take with alcohol. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult with medical personnel when taking this medication, and breastfeeding should be avoided while taking this medication.

In case of overdose, symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness, and drowsiness may occur, but serious fatalities have not been reported. In case of overdose, it is important to receive treatment corresponding to symptoms along with gastric lavage. To use this medication safely, you should inform your doctor about any current medications or alcohol consumption, and also disclose if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
