Brief Answer:
Gastritis is the most feared side effect!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain. The most feared side effect of this medication is gastric ulcer and bleeding. This occurs mostly in persons who already have gastritis and take huge doses. Also, if you eat well while taking this medication, there are huge chances that you would not develop this side effect.

It is safe to take this drug alongside paxil annd xanax as there are no drug interactions. Otherwise, there is nothing more for you to be concerned about.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
