OTC Drugs....?

Question

What is the best OTC drug that makes people the most drowsy? I can't sleep at night and I want to take something that will make me go to sleep.

Answer 1

The best OTC would be diphenhydramine, AKA Benadryl. Take one capsule (25mg) prior to bed, if one does not help, then take 2 (50mg). If you notice diphenhydramine is in OTC's such as Tylenol PM. Advil PM, etc. I would stay away from the Tylenol and other meds that have PM, unless you need an analgesic or anti-inflamitory for pain. Dont take something you dont need. Sweet dreams.

Answer 2

I too be afflicted by what I call "crowd administration rigidity". as quickly as I get around 6 or greater human beings in a social section, i'm getting aggravating. I did an test and it worked. I took an Excedrin PM approximately an hour in the past a social amassing and found myself slightly greater comfortable for the time of it.
