Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The sleepiness can be due to low blood pressure or a side effect of the medication. I suggest you to do a regular measurement of the blood pressure. If the blood pressure is in normal range and the symptoms continue, then you should consult your doctor for an alternative medication.

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