How effective will dramamine be as a sleep aid? This is the only OTC drug I can find here.
 
Dramamine is dimenhydrinate, perhaps you confused it with diphenhydramine - aka Sominex or any number of other OTC sleep aids ... and yeah, the shit works!
If you WERE talking about Dramamine, then yes, to a lesser degree it will make you tired, but you REALLY don't want to take too many of them or you will be tripping into the next day (and it's NOT a fun trip, it's like a really long, bad PCP TRIP .. avoid at all costs...
 
I've taken dramamine twice in my life and I thought that both times it was a fairly interesting "trip" if you want to call it that. I wouldn't advise taking dramamine around any people that you don't want to think you are completely fucked up in the head. Here's why:
*I would be talking to someone and then after a few mins I would completely forget what I was thinking/talking about.
*When I was alone I would have conversations with people in my head, and for the span during these "talks" I would 100% believe I was talking to that person.
EXAMPLE: I was sitting online and I thought I was talking to my friend Dan, and then I guess I snapped out of it and I realized he wasn't online or anything.
*I'd look at a chair or something and I'd see what appeared to be little things running around inside of it.
So, I wouldn't use this as a sleep aid--why do this when you can just buy sleeping pills for the same price that work just as good... or nyquil? But, I wouldn't totally write off taking it recreationally... I mean if you are a freak like I used to be -- why not?
But: be safe and don't take my word for it!
 
Diphenhydramine and dimenhydrinate are pretty much the same thing, except that the dimenhydrinate molecule is twice as heavy, so it takes two times as much to have the same effect as Diphenhydramine. (1mg of diphenhydramine = 2mg of dimenhydrinate) Other than that, they both do the same thing - make you uncomfortable, edgy, tired and strung out - avoid them in any dose.
