A contrasedative, as the name implies, is something that
works to counteract the effects of a sedative.
In this
book, we see this sort of a drug used on Millie Montag. Mildred took too many of her
sleeping pills that night. A sleeping pill is, clearly, a sedative since it is meant to
cause a person to calm down and be able to sleep. Since Millie took too many of those
pills, she needed something to counteract their effect. This is what a contra-sedative
does and that is why she needed it.
Once again, a sedative
is something that calms you down and a contra-sedative counteracts that
effect.
