Before you take any medication, you should be properly evaluated. This will help determine which medicine and how much of it is appropriate for you.
It also helps determine whether or not you should keep using the one you are now taking, if you are. With that in mind, you also should let a doctor or psychiatrist know about every single medication, supplement, vitamin, or over-the-counter drug you are now using.
In addition, your medical doctor as well as your psychiatrist should have a record of your complete current and past health history. This will also help make an accurate assessment of which medication you should use.
As an added precaution, make sure you only use as much of the medication you are told to use at any given time. Furthermore, never give it to anyone else and take it according to the instructions you were given.
You should also beware that this drug can become very addictive. It typically is not recommended for people with a history of drug and alcohol abuse-whether they have recovered or not.
If you are not yet experiencing a bad reaction you may be able to request non-emergency precautionary help from your doctor, nurse, or local poison control center. However, if it is after hours you may just need to call the hospital.
If you are already having trouble breathing, feel like you are going to faint, or someone you know has just passed out call for help immediately. You or someone you know at this point could be in serious danger of coma or death of not taking to the emergency room.
