Brief Answer:
It is not a side effect of this drug!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query. This drug is used to treat psychiatric conditions. Cutting your arms of being incoherent are not possible side effects of this medication.

I will recommend that you report these to your doctor for review. This may be a totally unrelated psychiatric condition and need to be addressed fully. Beside, what are you being treated for?

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
