Common side effects:
- Restlessness

- Fast heartbeat
- Drowsiness
- Feeling weak (asthenia)
- Feeling restless
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Depression
- Symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease (rigidity, tremor)
- Uncontrollable movements (tics, shaking, twisting, or muscle stiffness and rigidity)
- Decrease in blood pressure (particularly with intravenous administration)
Less frequent side effects:
- Raised prolactin levels (can cause unexpected milk production in men or women not breastfeeding)
- Irregular periods
- Visual disturbances (e.g., involuntary upward movement of the eyeballs)
Serious side effects (emergency attention required):
- Chest pain, angina, or changes in heart beat (e.g., fast heartbeat or cardiac arrest, especially with injection)
- Shock (severe drop in blood pressure, especially with injection)
- Uncontrollable movements (often involving head or neck, particularly in children or young adults and at high doses)

If you notice any serious side effects such as severe allergic reactions (swelling of the lips, tongue, throat; difficulty breathing; rash; or hives), chest pain, cardiac issues, or uncontrollable movements, seek immediate medical attention^[3].
