Sleeping issues
Sir/Madam, I am 19 years old and I am sleeping around 12-13 hours in a day. I am taking some medicines also like- olmeprazol 20mg after breakfast, clozapine 25mg before dinner and divalproex sodium 500mg after dinner. I am just asking you the sleeping duration that I am having is right or I have to modify it...? Thank you

Hi
You are sleeping more.
It may be because of medicines you are taking currently, specially Clozapine.
So discuss the need of Clozapine with your treating doctor.
Thanks
