[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 331103, member: 7083"] The medications aren't making him sleepy, but he's sleeping so much. Flexril knocks me on my hiney (but doesn't work for anything else) and it also makes me depressed. Depression can cause more sleep, which I know you know. There are other muscle relaxers out there. I would check others out. Opiates are activating for me, too. I don't mind it because otherwise I'd just sleep even more (except for recently when I can't seem to sleep at all). However, about 3 hours after I take them I get the crash. I don't usually go to sleep, but I get very sleep for about an hour or so. So many of the medications he's taking can have that crash. I wonder if it could be happening. He may not realize it because they don't make him sleepy initially, but as they wear off it could be causing that. Just a thought. But, yeah, medications need to be looked at. The pain also causes fatigue which doesn't help with mood disorders and it just becomes a vicious cycle. [/QUOTE]
