In Act IV scene iii, Juliet hesitates before taking the poison, as she must overcome certain fears.
First, she is afraid that the poison won't do anything at all.
Second, she is afraid that the friar has really given her poison which will really kill her so he won't have to reveal that he married her to Romeo.
Third, she is afraid that she will wake too early and be unable to breathe and waking up in a tomb will be so scary that it will drive her .
She begins to have doubts that she might not awake from the potion and that she might die after she has taking the potion.

Drinking the potion is a couragous thing, it is also a follish thing to do. Juliet drank the potion so Romeo could save her and it would end the feud netween the the two families. But Juliet drank it without informing Romeo about the plan, so Romeo found her dead and they were so in love that he killed himselfwith his dagger to be with Juliet. Juliet then woke up to find her lovers dead body, which caused her real death.Juliet had stabbed her self with Romeoes dagger. Drinking the potion is couragous but in the end is a foolish.
He doesn't tell her anything. He thinks she's dead and that's what she appears to be. He talks to her the same way characters talk to the moon (this is called apostrophe), but he doesn't expect her to hear him.
He would have realized that she was breathing. If Romeo had but an ounce of sence he would have checked to see if Juliet was breathing before committing suicide.If Romeo had not been so hasty in drinking the poison, he would have noticed that Juliet's lips and cheeks were crimson. She was beginning to wake up from the potion.

In her soliloquy before drinking the potion, Juliet does not express regret over her love for Romeo. She is instead focused on finding a way to be with him despite the obstacles in their path.
Juliet's worst fears before drinking the potion in "Romeo and Juliet" include waking up alone in the tomb, being buried alive, and potentially suffering a violent death if the plan fails. She is also afraid of the uncertainty of the potion's effects and whether Romeo will truly be there to rescue her.
Juliet fears that the potion might not work, that it could be a test of her loyalty to Romeo, or that she might wake up before Romeo arrives. She is also scared of being alone and trapped in the tomb.

She drinks a potion to make her sleep for 42 hours. Another answerer said the name of the potion was "asfelios" but it is important to know 1) that that word is not used anywhere in the play and 2) there is no such word in English

She actually doesn't call for anyone before she takes the potion, she does it in private. The only one who knows that Juliet takes the potion and doesn't actually die is Friar Laurence. She tells the nurse to go and help Mrs. Capulet with organizing the wedding.
Juliet will wake up in the Capulet family tomb, where Romeo and the friar are planning for her to escape to be with him. However, due to a miscommunication, Romeo believes Juliet is dead and ultimately takes his own life.
The potion that Juliet takes in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is meant to make her appear dead for 42 hours.
