A member asked:

I take effexor (venlafaxine) and klonopin is it normal to just fall asleep? i will come home from work sit down, watch tv and not even know i fell asleep

Sleep study: Drowsiness and sleepiness is a common side effect of many medications and can be additive when multiple agents are being taken. I would suggest having your PCP help you get a sleep study and EEG to determine if poor sleep quality is an undiagnosed contributing factor. Do you also have hypertension, gerd, snoring, high BMI...
