Good day and thanks for your question. Sorry about your sister's health. The drowsiness and sleeping could be a side effect of the Levipil she is taken. The severe back pain could result from the seizures she had and using pain killers like acetaminophen 1g or ibuprofen could be of help. Please let your sister consult her Neurologist to review her medication because of the drowsiness and sleeping more. Hope it helps. Thank you.
