Lomotil I believe, is an opioid, like morphine. A side effect of morphine, vicodin, demerol and other opiods is constipation. In the case of Lomotil, it is its desired function rather than a side effect. That is probably why it makes you sleepy. It is also why it is not over the counter in the US from what I can gather.
