Is it apnea? Is it depression? Is it normal burnout?

[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 222493, member: 3444"] Linda, he had a cluster of leaking capillaries (cavernoma) that caused simple-partial/autonomic seizures (and the cluster was growing, that's why we opted to take it out). He is not yet completely free of seizures, but they are fairly mild and happen a few times a week. In fact, no one but he and I ever know when he's actually in the midst of a seizure because they are so subtle. Before the surgery they were pretty strong at times and did make him tired for a while. But now they don't seem as severe. He's supposed to go back to see the neuro in January (he sees the psychiatrist then, too). I just thought maybe the Paxil has taken the edge off things but not addressed his depression completely since he's only at 1/2 of what he was at before. Hopefully I can get him to go see the GP next week and get the ball rolling on the sleep aspect of this soon. We can address the medication/seizure/mood portion of this next month at his other appointments hopefully. [/QUOTE]
