Not for takeoff. Apollo astronauts used barbituates to help sleep, and scopolamine with dextroamphetamine during re-entry. Unsurprisingly the average HR during re-entry was rather higher than at launch! (source: https://space.stackexchange.com/a/31987 )
Gemini would likely have been similar, save for using Cyclizine during re-entry rather than scopolamine/dextroamphetamine.
