Hi,

Wysolone is very unlikely to cause drowsiness or weakness. So if she has a significant weakness I would suggest she should visit her doctor urgently.

If there is no significant weakness, And she understands 50 mg is too much, she can use 40 mg until she sees her doctor, there is no gross difference between 40 mg and 50 mg of wysolone. But I don't think it's the drug causing it.

So it's important to know the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
