IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL, OR
ABOUT THIS MEDICATION, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR – EVEN IF YOU FEEL ANXIOUS OR
WORRIED ABOUT DOING SO. You may find it helpful
to tell a friend or relative that you are depressed

have been prescribed this medication; it might be
useful to show them this leaflet.

Some
people
taking
antidepressants
may
feel
worse before feeling better. Your doctor may ask to
see you again in a couple of weeks after you start
treatment and then regularly until you start to feel
well again. Tell your doctor if you do not start to
feel better.
SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE DEPRESSED MAY THINK OF
HARMING OR KILLING THEMSELVES. IF THIS HAPPENS
YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR DOCTOR OR GO TO A HOSPITAL
STRAIGHT AWAY – see in section 2 'Thoughts of
suicide
and
worsening
of
your
depression
or
anxiety disorder'.
IF YOU TAKE TOO MANY TABLETS IT IS IMPORTANT TO
SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION, EVEN IF YOU
FEEL WELL, BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF SERIOUS SIDE
EFFECTS.

DOSE WITHOUT THE ADVICE OF YOUR DOCTOR EVEN
