I agree with The Skeezyks that it depends on a lot of factors whether it's your meds or your illness. I'd recommend finding out all you can about the meds that you're on. I think Med Ed is one of the most important things you can do to help manage your illness. Start by asking your pdoc, but there is also a lot of information on the web. You can type in the name of your med in Google and get lots of responses.

There are also other physical problems that lead to excessive sleepiness. I'd hope that besides checking your testosterone, your doctor has checked your thyroid levels, for one thing. It's really important to eliminate all physical problems before going to a mental illness dx.
