My husband is depressed and on the med. cilotropam (spelling???). He's been on this med. for 3 weeks, and took a leave of absence 2 weeks ago. The doctor says to give it 4 weeks in order to see results. He seems to have trouble getting up in the mornings. He also says that there is confusion when he attempts
to do the simpliest tasks he once did on a regular basis. He will return to work on Monday and I am very
concerned about him. Thank you in advance for your responses.
Even if he is supposed to give it another week to see results, he needs to report these side effects to his doctor, such as the confusion and difficulty getting up in the morning. I definitely would.
