Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I’m dealing with it as a parent of a 50 yr old chef. Diagnosed 5months ago after a 11step fall crushing his clavicle. Now on Gabopentin, 900 mg and two depression meds. He now goes without eating for days and sleeps 3/4s of a day. He works 5-6 hours a day and then collapses. Is this common? I’m concerned he might fall asleep at the wheel

@vicjfaoro1 - I've read that fatigue can be one of the symptoms of taking antidepressant medication. Here's some information on the topic --- When Your Antidepressant Makes You Tired: https://www.verywellmind.com/fatigue-caused-by-antidepressant-1067353

One of the tips the article mentions is taking the medication at bedtime. When does your husband take the medications? Has your husband discussed the symptoms with his doctor?
