Doubt seizure: If that is all you have taken for only that long you should not seize if no seizure history, try some herbal night time tea, hot bath before bed, calm music or try a relaxation app if you have a smart phone. If still have trouble see doctor, may take a couple nights to get back on track. If taken with alcohol or other sedative medications or higher amount, all bets off and talk to doctor first.
