Reducing Your Risk
To minimize any risks associated with taking SSRIs/SNRIs, you must make sure to follow the advice of your doctor on the proper dosage to take. In the event of an emergency, it is best to have a list of medications you are taking in your wallet.
Print a list of the possible side effects of these medications and keep them somewhere where they are easily visible especially if you are starting to take a new medication. In this way, you will know immediately if the new symptoms you are experiencing have something to do with the medications you are taking.
Are SSRIs/SNRIs Right for You?
It is your doctor who can best decide if taking the SSRIs or SNRIs is right for you. He or she will consider your symptoms, diagnoses, and overall health and lifestyle.
You might need to experiment with several drugs before you can find something that can work best for you. This might require some time. Always communicate with your doctor during the entire process.
