HE FEELS SLEEPY AND LAZY RIGHT TILL AFTERNOON AND IN EVENINGS FOR 3 TO 4 HRS HE SEEMS OK. CAN WE STOP SERLIFT SINCE IT IS AN ANTIDEPRESSENT AND HE DOES NOT HAVE DEPRESSION WHILE CONTINUING WITH THE REST OF MEDICINES.I THINK HIS LAZYNESS N SLEEPYNESS MAY BE DUE TO SERLIFT.

Hi, Serlift is uncommon to associated with increase sleep. There is need to investigate for other cause for excessive sleepiness/laziness like delirium and complication of paget disease. There is no harm to withhold serlift for 2-3 days, under physician supervision to see changes. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health.
