My Mom had a stroke this last May in the left frontal lobe of her brain. Shortly after she recovered, she started having seizures where she passes out, falls down and shakes violently. Since the seizures started, the doctors put her on seizure medication along with all the other medications she was on before. Here is a list of her meds she takes daily now. Asprin, Atenolol, Digoxin, Diltiazem, Lasix Furosemide, Levothyroxine, multi-vitamin, Enalapril, Levothrozine, Caltrate, Fosamax, and Phenytoin. She has heart problems, a weak lung and is on oxygen all the time, thyroid problems, and celiac disease. After she started the seizure medication, we noticed how tired she has been. She has a hard time staying awake unless you are talking directly to her and even then she'll close her eyes and look very sleepy. The stroke affected her short-term memory, so it's hard to work on that when she feels so sleepy all the time. Any ideas as to why she is sooo sleepy?
