HI
THANKS FOR USING HCM.
Excessive sleeping is side effect of Quitipin 25. Decrease appetite is most probably due to Admanta. You can reduce the dose of Quitipin to 12.5 that may help to overcome excessive sleeping, if still sleepy with 12.5 Quitipine then ask your doctor to change the drug.
for appetite you can try appetite enhancer .
These drugs only can slow down the deterioration but never reverse it.
hope it help you.
thanks
