Excessive Sleepiness

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Niles, MI

I've been diagnosed for 2 years and have been on minimal dose of c&l but lately I am extremely sleepy and can sleep all day or fall asleep sitting in a chair watching TV. None of my other meds for anxiety and depression have changed.

I just read the one cause of
Sleeplessness in PD is sugar.
