Are you supposed to be taking caffeine drinks or something to survive because
I slept at night then woke up in the morning and i'm still very sleepy. In fact i slept 2 hours after waking up in the morning. And i just feel sleepy.


THe meds haven't fixed my condition yet so we uped them but they still do'nt fix me, but i feel they just making me even more sleepy.


Anyways, if this is how it's gonna be, how do you get rid of the sleepiness?
 
Hi, I'm in the same boat as you at the moment. I'm not sure what meds you're taking but I'm on my very first week of 50mg of Lamictal and I feel doped up and drowsy. I do expect to feel like this though and I do expect this to pass. If this isn't happening for you after a reasonable amount of time- I'd say a month or so, then you really need to go back to your Doctor and really stress to them that you can't function and it's affecting your daily life. You need to work with them to find the best meds for you.

sometime it just takes awhile to get use to the meds side effects and the sleepyness goes away.That's the way it works with me anyway about 3 weeks and I'm use to the side effects.
