Are you well hydrated? Sometimes being a little dehydrated will lower blood pressure, which in turn can cause falls. And yes, your medication could be the culprit...anything that makes you sleepy can contribute to falls. Please see your doctor for a blood-pressure check, and make sure you're drinking enough fluids (at least 2-3 liters per day). Keep us posted.
