Always take Fetzima according to your doctor’s instructions. Follow the directions on the prescription label and ask your doctor if you are confused. Your doctor may change your dose occasionally to ensure you’re getting the best results from your medication.
Fetzima should be swallowed whole with or without food. Never break, open, or chew the capsule. You will have to have blood pressure and heart rate checks while on this medication.
Do not stop taking Fetzima abruptly, as that can cause unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor will help you to taper your dose.
