| Add Benadryl review Had very poor success with this drug for sleep assistance. Mostly groggy in the morning with poor sleep benefit. Ive been taking this medication for the past five years and it makes me urinate often, and its very dependant i can't sleep without it. I have been taking this for years. I love the fact that I sleep. I have no plans of going off if it. I just take this none of the sleep aids that have the extra pain medication in it. None of the PM drugs with benadryl. I've been taking one a night for at least a year. It definitely helps and I have experienced no side effects. I just started using benadryl to try and sleep. It wasn't very effective and it caused extreme nausea. I won't use it again. | Add Dramamine review I get motion sickness almost every time I'm in a moving vehicle. Dramamine definitely relieves the symptoms quickly, but it simultaneously knocks me out. When I take it, I'm tired the entire day and sometimes the next day as well. Not just regular tired-- EXHAUSTED. I find myself having slow reaction times, slurring my words, and being unable to think clearly, stand for long periods of time, and keep myself awake. However, my symptoms of motion sickness are so bad that it's worth it. Very effective product. I no longer fear long drives or boat rides since i started taking this product in 2001. It works for me much better than Gravol... It causes extreme drowsiness within the first hour but after that I am fine. | |||
