Overwhelmingly Sleepy
I have days where I have to really fight to stay awake. It's next to impossible to keep my eyes open.
I've been tested for a lot of things; but so far no answers.
Yesterday I underwent a Doppler ultrasound of my carotid arteries. (I'll have to wait several days for the results.)
Has anyone else experienced such sleepiness?

I sometimes will have the strong drowsiness in late afternoon if I have not gotten 7 hours of sleep the night before. If I can stay busy and away from a cushioned seat, then I can usually avoid falling into too long (more than half-hour) a nap. And the result is that I don't get at least 7 hours of sleep the next day because it takes me longer to get tired so that I can fall asleep.
I try to take small naps during the day the Drs say I shouldn't sleep but their not on the drugs anyway do what you have to for yourself
RandySherman,
Thank you.
The strange part is that I haven't changed my meds recently.
PS When I pose a question, I'm really not anticipating conclusive medical answers. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had the same or a similar experience. 🙂
I would say like a job find one before you give up one. And don't worry about the name I answer to either Francis or Frank.
I have a hard time staying awake it is because of the meds I am on. This is what I take daily 3 1000mg Keppra 1 750mg , Limictal (Lamotrigine)2 200mg and same med 2 25mg Ethosuximide 3 250mg ,Escitalopram 1 20 mg Clobazam or ONFI 15mg that is just a day I know way to many meds
Do People Feel Physically Sick And Excessively Sleepy After A Seizure?
Why Does Keppra Make You So Sleepy?
