Brief Answer:
Yes it can cause weakness.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P

Weakness is a known side effect of AKT 4 but not sleepiness.

Was any liver function test done before starting AKT 4 ? If not kindly get it done and also get serum sodium levels as low sodium can cause sleepiness.

Revert back with reports.

Any clarification feel free to ask.
