It is used to treat depression and other mental health conditions like anxiety, panic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. If you stop taking this medication suddenly, you may suffer from unpleasant withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, dizziness, sleep disturbances etc.
Side effects of Nexito are nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, sleepiness, increased sweating, decreased libido, delayed ejaculation, delayed orgasms in women, flatulence, anorexia, joint pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, confusion, convulsions, palpitations, decreased urine output, dizziness, drowsiness, allergic reactions etc.
