Brief Answer:
It could rather be due to rivotril than due to tryptomer.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have carefully gone through the details provided. I have two suggestions to make:
* Take half a tablet of tryptomer (amitryptilline) and see. I think that should take care of the situation.
* The excessive sleepiness could rather be due to rivotril (clonazepam). You may hold the dose of rivotril till your next visit or may reinitiate it later and see if that goes fine.

Hope that helps.
