Falling asleep while awake

[Zrii]

I'm told fall asleep sometimes when I'm wide awake and sometimes I jerk awake sometimes on my own while sitting at table or driving I take prozak everyday and have for at 6 yrs and xanex when needed not to often . I also take well bruton and percocets 3 times Daisy for arthritis in my lower back what is causing this to happen

Prozak and Perdocets both could be doing it. But do NOT drive till you get this solved. Have you taken it up with your doctor?

[Greenday]

Do you take any dopamine agonist like Mirapex (Pramipexole) or Ropinirol?Dopamine agonists can cause such condition.

Dopamine agonists cause this problem.

You should not be driving if there is any chance of you falling asleep at the wheel. Consider other road users please.
