It depends on the type of procedure and your overall health. Sedatives can make you drowsy, so it’s important to talk with your doctor or healthcare provider about what kind of sedative is right for you. Some common types of sedatives include antihistamines, pain relievers, and sleeping pills. Make sure to follow all instructions from your doctor or healthcare provider regarding dosage and timing.
