Serious Side Effects and When to Seek Medical Attention

Seek immediate medical help if you experience any of the following: sudden onset of uncontrollable movements (especially in your face, mouth, tongue, or jaw), severe muscle stiffness or rigidity, high fever, altered mental status, confusion, or hallucinations.

Impulse control problems such as compulsive gambling, excessive shopping, increased libido, or binge eating require urgent attention. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice these changes in your behavior. These side effects can be serious and significantly impact your life.

Other serious side effects needing prompt medical attention include: severe drowsiness, dizziness, fainting, or falls. These symptoms could indicate a serious medical problem and require immediate evaluation.

Sleep disturbances, like vivid dreams or sleepwalking, while not always serious, should be reported to your doctor, especially if they interfere with your daily life or safety.
