No-go pill

The drug Zolpidem. Has a sedative (sleep-inducing) effect when taken. Used by Air Force operators to help them calm down after taking stimulants to stay awake during long missions. The opposite of a go-pill.

Also used before a mission to calm nerves and promote sleep.

After flying for 120 hours nonstop, having taken many go-pills in the process, the pilots required a no-go pill to help them sleep.

go-pills

Drugs issued by the military to enable soldiers and pilots to remain awake for extended periods (>24 hours). Includes new stimulants such as modafinil (ProVigil) as well as the traditional sympathomimetic amines (the amphetamines and their derivatives).

"Had to go to the medic and draw some go-pills 'cause we're doin' CONOPS all night into the morning, and no time for a combat nap."
