Precautions
People experiencing major depression, both adult and pediatric, may experience worsening of their depression and/or an increase in suicidal behavior and thoughts. If you notice any drastic changes in your mood or increased feelings of suicidal ideation, please contact your doctor right away.
A potentially life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome may develop, especially if this drug is combined with other drugs (such as other antidepressants) that increase the amount of serotonin in the body. Symptoms of this condition include increased agitation, hallucinations, fever, irregular heartbeat, overactive reflexes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fainting.
