A member asked:

Went to er for migraine was given raglan and benadryl (diphenhydramine). it did help but 12 hours later i'm still really really tired how long will that last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Benadryl varies in its exit from the body. If you are a slow metabolizer it could take up to 36 hours. Reglan (metoclopramide) is a dopamine blocker and typically does not cause excessive drowsiness
