What Causes Disorientation After Stopping Amitriptyline?
Howdy: I am dealing with my 95 year old mother. She was living alone and after a few mishaps, we had to go get her. Upon getting her medicine updated, I noticed she was prescribed Amitriptyline, Spironolactone, and Losartan Potassium. I am concerned that this might be too much for her. I held back the Amitriptyline. But, she has been disoriented in her thinking and speech as of late. Do I need to go ahead and give her the Amitriptyline?
