What Causes Excessive Sleepiness After Taking A Generic Of Hydrocodone?

I have severe RA and take hydrocodone. My pharmacy was closed so I went CVS, they gave me Qualitest generic hydrocodone and I sleep way too much. That is the only change in my medications. These are yellow oval pills I have never had. Sorry didn t realize I had to pay, guess I can wait to see Pharmacist Thanks
