Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

Thank you for your query.

Sometimes due to medications such sleepiness occur.
Not to worry about it.

Just one day such disturbances could occur due to any reason.
continue same medication\ if not having other problem.

Since when you are on this medication and for what reason?

Is there any other medication you are currently on with this? I could see in your history that you are taking trazadone, lemictol, cymbalta. May I know the reason and duration you are on these drugs.

Awaiting your response.

Thank you
