This medicine for some initially makes them groggy. If so, avoid driving, after 2-4 weeks most don’t have any cognitive impairment and they feel its positive effect on mood. At that time you can drive safely. Good luck

Sometimes patients do complain of drowsiness especially when they are also prescribed medication like anxiolytics .
If you feel drowsy, then don’t drive.
Generally patients start tolerating the side effects after some days of starting the drugs.
Next Steps
If no drowsiness, you can safely drive.
