I am highly sensitive to what one doctor called "first generation" antihistimines. Last night I took doxylamine succinate for the first time in a multi-symptom cold medicine. I fell asleep and couldn't wake up for 13-14 hours, I had a similar reaction to the antihistimine that is in Actifed several years ago.
Where can I find information on drugs related to doxylamine succinate?
