However, discontinue it immediately and seek medical help if you experience signs of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), such as fever, muscle stiffness, or altered consciousness.
Other common side effects include low hemoglobin levels, headache, movement-related symptoms (extrapyramidal symptoms), dry mouth, and withdrawal symptoms.
