Diclofenac is making me drowsy/giddy, anything i can do to prevent this?

Rare: That is a rare side effect of that medication. You must be extremely sensitive to medications. I would try a different medication in the NSAID class such as ibuprofen, naprosyn, (naproxen) Meloxicam to name a few examples.
