I took Fluvoximine CR 100, Venlafaxine, Clofranil 25 all thrice a day and Ativan once a day for one month. I abruptly stopped due to numerous severe side effects. The next day, my blood report showed HBsAg positive. Could this be a result of these side effects and poor immune system caused by the medicines?

Hepatitis B surface antigen indicates a hepatitis B infection. This is unrelated to stopping psychiatric medicines. It may be a new infection or an earlier silent one now detected. You need a follow up with a gastroenterologist or hepatologist to confirm activity and plan treatment.

Take a HBsAg - Quantitative (CMIA) Test or Take a HBV Dna Test Test
