Which medications are reviewed first if sleepwalking becomes frequent?

When someone sleepwalks often, doctors might look at certain medications first. Some medicines, like antidepressants and sedatives, could make sleepwalking happen more.

Steps to Review Medications:

1. Antidepressants: These are sometimes used to help with mood but can also affect sleep.
2. Sedatives: These are supposed to help with sleep but might cause sleepwalking in some people.

Doctors will check if the person is taking these medicines and might change them if needed. This is to see if it helps stop the sleepwalking. It's important to talk to a doctor about any changes in medicine.
