Nite Time Medicines And Drowsy Medicine Make Me?

396545383 Okay, so i've been sick for a while now. Last night i took a night time cold reliever, however it didnt make me tired at all. I was wide awake for two hours and after that i forced myself to sleep. This morning i took benedryl, and that didnt make me tired either. This all worries me some because when i take day time medicine and other regular medicine, i get more tired and my symptoms go away.

Long story short: Drowsy/Night time medidcine don't help and keep me up, Day time/non drowsy lower my energy and help me more.

So why is this? Is it normal?

  2. aljaheeri - This happens, it is normal. Nothing's wrong with you. Any nightime sleep aids bought OTC aren't necessarily the strongest sleep aids. Though I've noticed that a lot of people who aren't made sleepy by Benadryl, will get knocked out by the active drug in most cough syrups, Dextromethorphan. Get some Delsym, which is an extended release cough suppressant and it may help at night. Good luck!
