A member asked:

Should i take a pill that might cause drowsiness before trip?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No : No if driving. Maybe, if taking the plane, suffers from anxiety and want to sleep during the ride. Most people want to be awake, and should be awake and alert in case of an emergency that needs a quick response, .
