He has mild AD and was given Cloraz Dipot at first for anexiety. Next appt. few days later gave him Donepezil . He wanted the anexiety pill but still has to take the donepezil before going to bed. ## How long would a side effect like dizziness last if someone was wrongly given 28 Donepezil tablets instead of their usual Montelukast asthma tablets, if they then had 14 of the correct tablets.
