Before taking atorvastatin tell your doctor if you have: liver disease, a severe infection, heart disease, thyroid problems, uncontrolled seizures, recent major surgery, low blood pressure, any allergies, other medical problems. If LIPITOR makes you dizzy or lightheaded, use caution driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness. Limit alcohol intake as this can damage the liver and cause increased side effects. Atorvastatin should not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. LIPITOR may be excreted into breast milk. Because of the possible adverse effects to the infant, breast-feeding is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription medication you may use, especially: MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, selegiline, tranylcypromine, phenelzine, moclobemide, linezolid, procarbazine), cimetidine, lithium, metoprolol; drugs for migraines (e.g., "triptans" such as sumatriptan, or ergot drugs); weight loss drugs (e.g., sibutramine, dexfenfluramine). Tell your doctor if you take drugs that may cause drowsiness, such as: anti-anxiety (e.g., diazepam); anti-seizure drugs (e.g., carbamazepine); sedatives, tranquilizers, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine), tramadol, other psychiatric medications (e.g., venlafaxine, nefazodone, tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline, SSRIs such as fluoxetine), antihistamines that cause drowsiness (e.g., diphenhydramine). Check the labels on all your medicines (e.g., cough-and-cold products) because they may contain drowsiness-causing ingredients. Ask your pharmacist about the safe use of these products. If you are currently taking an MAO inhibitor, wait at least 14 days between discontinuing the MAO inhibitor and starting therapy with CELEXA, or vice versa. Consult your doctor or pharmacist. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include tiredness, weakness, sedation, dizziness, tremor, nausea, and deep sleep or loss of consciousness.
Do not share CELEXA with others.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.
