Answer:
That really depends on the child. With my son(he was very active) it seemed to have the opposite effect, as in the daytime meds made him sleepy and the night time would keep him awake.

Both. Depending on your child. Most will become drowsy but for some it has the opposite effect. The best way to know for sure is to give him some before the outing when you can afford for him to be either drowsy or hyper. The same goes for caffeine. Children with ADHD will actually be calmed and sometimes put to sleep with caffeine.

Like everyone else said it depends on the child. My son it don't do anything to him just helps with his allergies. But some kids it knocks them out and some makes them hyper. I am not sure when you give it to him or if you could wait until night time that would help. I just give my son his when he needs them.
