That's all the medication you're taking? The reason I ask is that I was on Neurontin and was experiencing the same thing. My doctor INCREASED my dose and the sleepiness went away alot. I needed to "breakthrough" my threshold. Once I did that I wasn't so tired. I'm currently on between 1800 - 2100mg.
Severe pain makes me want to take my Oxycontin and go to sleep.
My sleep dose for Oxycontin is 100mg.
My work dose for Oxycontin is 60mg (chewing 20mg for quick action)
