I'll keep this short; I only want it here so that I won't forget about it when I'm looking back in the future.
The past several weeks have been really hard because I feel sedated. I think it's a combination of the clobazam and cenobamate. Even though the clobazam is decreasing, the cenobamate is increasing, and the specialist said that it can make the side effects of the clobazam up to 7 times(!) worse. I literally feel sedated much of the time--not just tired, but drugged.
I've never slept so much in my adult life.
I'll sleep 9 hours in the night, then take a 3 hour nap in the afternoon, and still be falling asleep in front of the tv by dinner time.
(It's a good thing I'm not driving.)
The clobazam will be gone very soon and there are no more imminent increases in the cenobamate, so my hope is that this will start to resolve itself within the next week or two.
I remember feeling extremely sleepy in the early days of the Brivlera, but it got better after a few weeks; hopefully this does one does too.
