Suggest An Alternative To Cilentra For Treatment Of Depression
Hi I have been prescribed 5 mg of Cilentra to start with for depression.
It has caused incredible sleepiness and fatigue and I have had to stop it because of these effects.
Which other medication might be suitable in the same category without these side effects ?
Thanks

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Cilentra in low dose like 5mg can cause sleepiness and fatigue in around 5-10% clinical cases at start of treatment. Usually these side effects are short lasting and last 7-10 days only, you should wait for some duration before changing treatment.
Same time your psychiatrist has option to shift you on other medication like Bupropion or Fluoxetine.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
