It is the Clonazepam that is making her nod off. This is a highly used anti-anxiety drug and will make an elephant sleepy - even on a low dose.

Neurontin is used to help prevent seizures, and to treat certain types of nerve pain. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, mood changes, and weight changes.

Both it, and the Clonazepam could be causing her to nod off, depending on the dosages she is taking. Taking them together could even worsen the side effects experienced.

How long has she been taking them, and how much does she take?

Usually, our bodies will get used to medications that we take regularly in steady doses, so in time, the side effects will slowly taper off in severity.

Are these the only medications she takes?
