Watch out for
- Melatonin, valerian, CBD, lavender and passionflower may each make you sleepy, and opioid medicines, gabapentin, pregabalin, some antidepressants and antipsychotics, some allergy, sleep-aid, motion-sickness and nausea medicines, clonidine, topiramate and zonisamide can cause sleepiness too, so together the drowsiness can add up. You may feel more drowsy and react more slowly than with either one alone, and alcohol makes it worse.

If it is a prescription, do not stop or change it on your own.
