The last time I remember having these I'm sure they KO'ed me in an instant and I didn't like how it knocked me out like that.
It is sedating. Usually not as sedating as promazine, but it can turn the lights off fairly quickly if you're not used to it, or similar meds. That said, 50mg is a small dose and your brain has been acclimatised to meds with a strong antihistamine action so there's a good chance it will have a much milder impact than the last time. Maybe take the first dose and hour or two before your regular bedtime to see what effect it has.
