Using the idiom 昏昏欲睡
我吃了一片抗组胺药片,我就昏昏欲睡。
I took an antihistamine and immediately felt sleepy.
Am I using this idiom correctly? Please also correct my grammar.
Thanks for your help :-)

if the drug makes u very very sleepy, then ur sentence is correct.
but it is more fluent if add 了 at the end of it.
More Example:
1. 一上英语课, 我就昏昏欲睡.
whenever I am taking the English class, I feel sleepy...
Here u do not need to add 了,coz it is only to describe a fact that u r not quite interested in EN. (Definitely it is not a good studying attitude,ha )
2. 今天下午我感到昏昏欲睡,因为我没有睡个午觉。
I felt quite sleepy this afternoon coz I had not taken a nap .

你的句子是对的。但是我们不知道“抗组胺药片”是什么,我们都说“安眠药”。
