Fetzima (active ingredient: levomilnacipran) is a prescription medication used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults.
Major depressive disorder is more than simply feeling sad or having a bad day. It is a medical condition that affects how you think, feel, and function in your daily life. Symptoms may include:
By treating depression, Fetzima can help improve your mood, increase your energy, restore interest in daily activities, and improve your overall quality of life. Because the medication works gradually, it may take several weeks before you notice its full benefits.
Fetzima belongs to a group of medications called serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
It works by increasing the levels of two important brain chemicals called serotonin and norepinephrine, which help regulate mood, emotions, motivation, and the body’s response to stress.
People with depression may have an imbalance of these neurotransmitters. Fetzima helps restore this balance by preventing serotonin and norepinephrine from being reabsorbed too quickly by nerve cells, allowing more of these chemicals to remain available in the brain.
By increasing serotonin and norepinephrine levels, Fetzima may help:
Fetzima does not work immediately. Some people may notice improvements in energy, sleep, or appetite within the first 1 to 2 weeks, but it may take 4 to 8 weeks or longer to experience the full antidepressant effects. Continue taking the medication exactly as prescribed, even if you do not feel better right away, unless your healthcare provider instructs you to stop.
Fetzima is available as an extended-release capsule that is taken by mouth once daily, exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
You may take Fetzima with or without food. Try to take your dose at the same time each day to help maintain a consistent level of medication in your body and make it easier to remember.
Swallow the extended-release capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, open, or split the capsule, as this can release the medication too quickly and increase the risk of side effects.
Your healthcare provider will determine the right dose based on:
Always take Fetzima exactly as prescribed. Do not take more or less than the recommended dose, and do not change your dosing schedule without first consulting your healthcare provider.
Fetzima (Levomilnacipran) is available in the following forms and strength:
Before taking Fetzima, tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history and all medications you are taking. This helps ensure the medication is safe for you and reduces the risk of serious side effects.
Like other antidepressants, Fetzima may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors, particularly in children, adolescents, and young adults up to 24 years of age during the first few months of treatment or after a dose change.
You and your caregivers should watch closely for any unusual changes in mood or behavior, including:
Contact your healthcare provider immediately if any of these symptoms occur. Seek emergency medical attention if suicidal thoughts or actions develop.
Fetzima may cause serotonin syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, especially if it is taken with other medications that increase serotonin levels.
Symptoms may include:
In severe cases, serotonin syndrome can lead to seizures, coma, or death. Seek emergency medical attention immediately if you develop symptoms of this condition.
Fetzima may increase your blood pressure and heart rate.
Before starting treatment, and periodically during therapy, your healthcare provider may check your blood pressure and pulse, especially if you have:
Tell your healthcare provider if you experience chest pain, palpitations, severe headaches, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
Fetzima may interact with many medications, including:
Before starting Fetzima, provide your healthcare provider with a complete list of everything you take so they can check for potential drug interactions.
Do not stop taking Fetzima without first talking to your healthcare provider.
Stopping the medication abruptly may cause withdrawal symptoms, including:
If treatment needs to be discontinued, your healthcare provider will gradually reduce your dose to help minimize withdrawal symptoms.
Fetzima may cause hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood), particularly in older adults and people taking diuretics (“water pills”).
Symptoms of low sodium may include:
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop any of these symptoms.
Fetzima may affect your ability to think clearly or react quickly. It may cause:
Until you know how Fetzima affects you, avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing activities that require alertness.
Use Fetzima with caution if you have a history of seizures or epilepsy, as it may lower the seizure threshold and increase the risk of seizures.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had a seizure disorder before starting treatment.
Although uncommon, Fetzima may affect liver function.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms of liver problems, such as:
Fetzima should be used with caution if you have a history of urinary retention, difficulty urinating, or narrow-angle glaucoma.
Tell your healthcare provider before starting treatment if you have either of these conditions, as Fetzima may worsen them.
Fetzima does not work immediately. Some people may notice improvements in symptoms such as energy, sleep, or appetite within the first 1 to 2 weeks of treatment. However, it may take 4 to 8 weeks or longer to experience the full antidepressant benefits. Continue taking Fetzima exactly as prescribed, even if you do not notice improvement right away, unless your healthcare provider instructs you otherwise.
Yes. Some people may experience weight loss while taking Fetzima, although this side effect is generally uncommon and is usually modest. If you notice significant or unexpected changes in your weight, talk to your healthcare provider. They can determine whether the medication may be contributing to the change and discuss appropriate management options if needed.
Fetzima is approved only for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. It is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat anxiety disorders. However, in some cases, healthcare providers may prescribe Fetzima off-label if they believe it may be beneficial for an individual patient.
No. Fetzima is not approved for use in children or adolescents younger than 18 years of age. Its safety and effectiveness have not been established in this age group.
Do not take Fetzima if you are allergic to levomilnacipran or any of the ingredients in the medication. You should also not take Fetzima if you are currently taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or if you have taken an MAOI within the past 14 days, as combining these medications can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Before starting Fetzima, tell your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking so they can determine whether the medication is safe for you.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, tell your healthcare provider before taking Fetzima. The safety of Fetzima during pregnancy has not been fully established. Your healthcare provider will carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks before recommending this medication during pregnancy. Do not start or stop taking Fetzima while pregnant without first consulting your healthcare provider.
