Depends on everyone. My mom took it. She hallucinated, sleep walked and sleep drove. My husband took it. He rambled and talked all night and didn't remember a bit of it the next day, but he was tired all day. I took it a long time ago and I didn't care for it. It made me feel stoned and sick and also tired the next day.  I'd probably try benadryl instead. That stuff knocks me out.

Well I took it the first night and it worked pretty good, except for even after it wore off I got really sleepy about halfway through the day, ended up not taking it last night due to me having to do so much stuff today.

Weird. They prescribed me that to open my cervix. If it's for sleeping why not use promethezine? It helps with nausea too
