Took some benadryl at home for allergies and had no reaction at all. Hour later on the drive back from the clinic and I could not keep my eyes open and had to smack myself to keep me awake. Worse feeling ever, especially that drug induced sleepiness.

I was young and broke and recovering from a surgery. Went back to work before I was recovered fully. They had me on some good pain meds, but it still hurt sometimes. I went to get gas on my lunch break and some lady at the gas station saw I was in pain and said "here, try one of these" and handed me a pill, which I immediately took.

The ensuing drive was one of the scariest things I've ever done. This was a rural road lots of hairpin turns, which people drive at 50mph riding your ass. No cell service, so I couldn't call someone to come help me. Nowhere to pull over. Literally no shoulder or turnouts, just treeline on one side and short cliff on the other. It was awful. I realized halfway through exactly how out of it I was.

That road was a death trap. Some politician's son eventually died there so they finally widened it and added shoulders and stuff.
