Situations that need to be used with caution

“The use of antidepressant drugs in children and young people up to the age of 24 is likely to increase suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Therefore, especially in the beginning and first months of treatment, it is necessary to closely monitor the patient’s family and therapeutics for reasons such as restlessness, excessive mobility or the possibility of suicide during the periods of increase/decrease or discontima of the drug dose.”

In the first weeks of treatment with Revoxin , until antidepressant action is seen, sometimes a feeling of restlessness (atatimate), such as not being able to sit or stand, may occur or increase.

If you are depressed and/or have anxiety disorder, sometimes thoughts of self-harm or suicide may occur. This condition can increase when antidepressant drugs are first used, since the duration of action of these drugs is usually two weeks and sometimes longer.

Cyberchondria

The truth is that when we’re sick, or worried about getting sick, the internet won’t help.

According to Wikipedia, cyberchondria is a mental disorder consisting in the desire to independently make a diagnosis based on the symptoms of diseases described on Internet sites.

Why you can't look for symptoms on the Internet

If diagnoses could be made simply from a textbook or an article on a website, we would all be doctors and treat ourselves. Nothing can replace the experience and knowledge of specially trained people. As in any field, in medicine there are unscrupulous specialists, differences of opinion, inaccurate diagnoses and incorrect test results.
