Yes: Always be sure to use the prescribed amount only, only take it from a doctor, and be sure you are not taking more than the maximum dose for adults. Please do not take with stimulants for weight loss or those in some cold medicines. Also please do not take with prozac, paxil, (paroxetine) or wellbutrin due to drug-drug interactions unless your doctor has assured you it is safe (hard to justify).
