1.C 细节题。根据第一段最后一句Do not take more than six tablets in twenty-four hours. 可知C正确。
2.A 推理题。文章最后一行Reduce the amount if nervousness, restlessness, or sleeplessness occurs中提及了nervousness，可以推断这种药可能会让出现紧张这样的反应。故A正确。
3.B 推理题。根据文章最后一行Reduce the amount if nervousness, restlessness, or sleeplessness occurs说明出现了sleeplessness也就是失眠的时候，我们要减少药量，故B正确。
