  1. benadryl


  2. The main ingredient of over-the-counter sleeping pills is an antihistamine. However, histamine, a chemical messenger in the brain, promotes wakefulness, so antihistamine also has the effect of making you feel very sleepy. Some OTC sleep aids also include a pain reliever.   Common OTC sleep medications

    Diphenhydramine (found in brand names like Nytol, Sominex, Sleepinal, Compoz)

    Doxylamine (found in brand names like Unisom, Nighttime Sleep Aid)

    OTC sleep aids are meant to be used for short term insomnia. Tolerance to the medication, meaning that you need a higher dosage of the medication for it to work, can develop in only a few days.

    When I used these drugs it caused me to speed up.
