If this drug was abused on a regular basis it would most likely cause the stomach to bleed.
It can make some people sleepy when they take it. My wife takes hers at bedtime. It is not considered a drug of abuse as most people are seeking a high and this anti- inflammatory really does not do that. If you have excess sedation notify your Dr. He might try something else.
