I tried it 2 nights ago and noticed some hallucinations not unlike mushroom trips. I turned off all the lights and saw strange shapes swirling in my computer screen -- this lasted for a couple seconds, but then I the swirly-type visuals ended and I was just tripping semi-paranoid. The wind from an open window blew a paper towel on to the floor, and I thought some animal had just moved across the floor. There was a lilttle body buzz in the beginning, but as I got slower, this effect got more subtle.
This was on a dose of 250mg of Sominex. There are two different ingredients in this type of sleep aid which have different properties. The one you should get for recreational value is the one that ends in -amine, which is found in Tylenol PM. The brand-name Dramamine no longer contains this ingredient. I also had about 2 shots of vodka, which probably did nothing to potentiate the psychedelic property of the dramamine, but rather just made me more sleepy.
After about 30 minutes of hallucinating, major paranoia set in and I got too stupid to do simple tasks like plugging in my light, which just got frustrating. I went into one of those psychedelic panic-states where I wondered if I was going to be stupid forever. The drowsiness effect hit me pretty hard and everything was difficult - typing, choosing CDs, and even watching TV so I just passed out on the couch.
IMO alcohol is more fun, but this could be an interesting combo with DXM, which tends to keep my awake. Due to the ego-loss effect of DXM, it could reduce some of the paranoia from the dramamine, but it could also make it worse, too, since DXM makes you pretty stupid.
My GF also tried it last night and it didn't seem to have any effect on her. She took 150 mg to start, then another 100 45 minutes later, and then 2 tylenol PM for unrelated pain, which came to 300mg altogether. She didn't trip aside from seeing the ceiling "breath" a little, but eventually just got real drowsy since she'd taken it with alcohol and her klonopin prescription.
Final verdict: get some trusted psychedelics if you want to trip. Get some alcohol if you want to relax. Get some weed if you want to get high.... Or get some coke if you want to have fun.
