This medicine can be taken with or without food, preferably at night. To maintain steady levels in your body, take it at the same time each day. Follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully, and if you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not stop taking it suddenly without your doctor’s advice, as this could worsen your symptoms. However, stop the medication immediately and seek medical help if you experience Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) — symptoms include high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, or seizures.
Common side effects may include difficulty sleeping (insomnia), drowsiness, sedation, vomiting, cough, parkinsonism (movement disorders), headache, and fever. This medicine may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when changing positions, so rise slowly from sitting or lying down. It can also lead to dizziness or drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Weight gain may occur, but a healthy diet and regular exercise can help manage it.
Use this medicine with caution if you’re at risk of diabetes, as it may increase blood sugar levels—monitor your glucose levels regularly. Inform your doctor if you experience any unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts while taking this medicine.
