Hello lybrate-user, antiepileptic medication like encorate chrono can cause sedation. Its better to show to your doctor adjusting the dosage, keeping antiepileptic causing sedation at night time, maintaining proper hydration may resolve the issue. Do not decrease the dose without proper guidance from your doctor. Best wishes.

Hello,
I am not sure that you are suffering from schizophrenia, symptoms are more suggestive of depression which can be treated effectively, if you list out your symptoms in chronological order right from the beginning I will be able to guide you better. Depression is a very much treatable disorder and you should concentrate on that.
