hello, excuse me for my bad english but i am from croatia and am not so fluent in english. i have experienced a psychotic episode last february (2012) and i have been using a antidepressant, antipsychotic and mood stabilizier as a prescribed drug. i have beeen also going to the psychotheraphy every two weeks ever since... the problem with me is i am sleeping awfully a lot, at least 10 hours per day and feel very hard to wake up.. at the moment i doesnt effect me that much since i work at my aunts office who is fully aware of the situation but i doubt i could maintain a normal lifestyle if and when i change my job... what should i do? is it possible that prescribed medicine make me feel so sleepy?
Hi.I agree with your evaluation. The antipsychotic medications (most of them), mood stabilizers like sodium valproate etc. and antidepressants (few classes) have sedating properties. In other words, they make you feel Chat Doctor.  Rest assured that once you stabilize and your psychiatrist thinks it is safe, u might be weaned off the psychotropic medications, or they can be reduced to the minimum effective dose. But till then, be a little careful. Donot
