Anyone Ever Had Sleep Dentistry, With Pills? Options

[Coomer]

Last Thursday I had sleep dentistry done to get teeth pulled. The dentist gave me a total of five pills to stick under my tongue to dissolve, and they put me right to sleep. I slept from 8:30AM to 9:00PM that day, and thought I was over the pills. The next day I was out with friends at a busy restaurant, and I fell asleep at the table. My friends woke me up and we went outside, and then I took my friend's keys and got into her Tahoe and slept while they were talking outside. I ended up going home by 10:30PM just about to pass out.

Then Saturday night I had to come home at 5:30PM because I was getting way too tired to drive anymore. My eyes were just about closed.

Yesterday I slept in. Then I couldn't fall asleep at night, and so I didn't sleep at all. And I'm at work right now, and tiredness is finally catching up to me. My arms are sore from typing this message, my eyes can't focus, I've caught myself dosing off a couple times since I've been at work, and it just plain sucks. I can hardly even type, and I'm supposed to be developing a program that will be distributed to our customers soon.

Does anyone know if this is normal after sleep dentistry? I tried calling my dentist but the phone was busy the couple times I called.
