It depends on what you are taking Starlium 10mg Injection for. If you are taking it to treat anxiety, you should start feeling better within a few hours, but it may take a week or two before the full benefits become evident.

Q. Is it safe to take Starlium 10mg Injection and alcohol together?
No, it is not at all recommended to take alcohol with Starlium 10mg Injection since it can cause breathing problems, sleepiness and heart problems.

Therefore, Starlium 10mg Injection should be taken for the shortest possible time and in the lowest effective dose.
Q. Can I stop taking Starlium 10mg Injection if I start feeling better?
No, do not stop taking Starlium 10mg Injection suddenly as you may experience withdrawal effects like depression, nervousness, difficulty in sleeping, irritability, sweating, upset stomach or diarrhea. Stopping it suddenly may even bring back the symptoms and make them harder to treat. You may also experience mood changes, anxiety, restlessness and changes in sleep patterns. These effects may occur even after taking low doses for a short period of time.
Q. For how long should I take Starlium 10mg Injection?
The duration of treatment with Starlium 10mg Injection is mainly as short as possible.

Q. Is it safe to take clozapine and Starlium 10mg Injection together?

Q. Is Starlium 10mg Injection safe to be used in elderly patients?
The dose in elderly is generally half of the dose recommended to young people. This is because Starlium 10mg Injection causes muscle relaxation which can make the patient fall down, which may further lead to fractures.
