[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms. I agree that you need detailed evaluation by a good neurologist. You would require MRI brain-epilepsy protocol and video EEG (especially at night while asleep) to determine the nature of your episodes of "coma" at nights. You would get better with change of medications/adjustment of dose after these studies. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
