> But should it last this long? I know when it's given IM with demerol, most people require another IM 4hrs. later. Never heard anyone complain of the tiredness. But then again, maybe the pain kept them awake. Fondly, Phillipa
I guess it depends on the half-life of the Vistaril...that and whether or not Demerol, for instance, is metabolized by the same pathway. I'm suprised you've never heard of Demerol making people tired...I've never had to use it, but it IS an opiate. It may have woken them up when it started to wear off, and like you said they could feel the pain again. Codeine put me to sleep...probably the mildest narcotic pain-killer.
