Your care coordinator or key worker will be able to provide you with information on the medication that you have been prescribed, which includes details on possible side effects. Please ask them for a leaflet.

Visit our medications website. This dedicated website provides answers to frequently asked questions on the medications prescribed for mental illnesses and drug and alcohol problems including what to do if you miss a dose, how long a medication will take to work and what to do about possible side effects caused by your medication.

Parents and carers of children or adolescents who take medication may also find the Medicines for Children website helpful. It is written and reviewed by paediatricians, pharmacists and parents and contains leaflets and videos about how to give medicines.
