A member asked:

Took drowsy medications and can't focus on my finals, what do i do? what could happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Response: You do NOT say if these were sleeping pills, antihistamines, sedatives or tranquilizers, But most medication wears off over a period of hours. To become more alert, caffeine containing beverages may help, such as coffee, coke, or Red Bull. If you are unable to function adequately, might contact your doctor directly.
