Question 1

taken nexium, (esomeprazole) generic nexium, (esomeprazole) and protonix which cause drowsiness. would it be worth taking prevacid or prilosec? will tired feeling go away with time

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: None of the actions of any of these drugs would have anything to do with drowsiness. That is a very uncommon side effect of any of them. BUT
Prilosec is well known to gum up the liver's ability to get other drugs out of you including all sedatives including alcohol.... so .. that one is doubly out.
Otherwise, while I cannot explain why these drugs do that on you, the entire group is similar

does antihistamine make you drowsy?

Accepted Answer

Older ones do: First generation antihistamines (benadryl, clor-pheramine, atarax) cross the blood brain barrier and cause lethargy.  
Second generation (allegra, claritin, zyrtec, xyzal, (levocetirizine) clarinex) cause the blood brain barrier at a much lesser amount and more targeted to the h1 receptor.
