A client who has been discharged home on citalopram calls the nurse complaining that the medication causes her to feel too drowsy. The nurse should make which of the following suggestions?

Choice A reason: Changing medications immediately is not necessary for mild side effects. Adjustments in timing are usually tried first. Choice B reason: Skipping doses is unsafe and can reduce therapeutic effectiveness, leading to withdrawal symptoms or relapse of depression. Choice C reason: Taking citalopram at night is appropriate because it minimizes daytime drowsiness while maintaining therapeutic levels. This is a safe and effective adjustment. Choice D reason: While side effects may subside, simply telling the client to wait without offering a practical solution does not address the immediate concern.
