Feeling very sleepy after taking MEPR is common, and you should consult your doctor before changing it, so they can safely adjust the dose or suggest an alternative. Calcium phosphate is gentler on the stomach, while calcium carbonate has more calcium but should be taken with food. Your doctor can advise which option is best for you.
