Hi,

Zetalo is a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor commonly prescribed to treat depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety and other conditions. Its common side effects include sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, dry mouth, and diarrhea.

If you stop taking it suddenly it may cause anxiety, irritability, headache, vertigo, and abnormal movements. If at all you wish to stop it the dose of this medicine should be gradually reduced under the supervision of your doctor then an alternate effective but a safer drug can be prescribed.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
