    Benadryl side fx

    have any of you guys taken benadryl and not slept the entire night? i had heart palpitations and restlessness all night. i switched to that from using Ketotifen. should i try one more night of benadryl and see if the same sides occur?

    Puts me right out in about 30-45 mins ... and I feel like a sac of crushed ass holes in the morning... takes longer to wake up, so groggy and crap.

    doc said Benadryl works both ways-either's gonna make you very sleepy or willmake U not sleep at all.That was the case with me...go see a doc he'll give U some Ambien CR.U'll love it!

    If you take to much ambien that shit can mess you up pretty good. A friend of mine took some of it one day and you could tell is messed him up pretty good and he ended up getting a DUI on it.

    Benadryl makes me so sleepy at 50mgs. I have a real hard time getting up for work the next day.

    it is sold in the UK under the generic brand from Boots called Sleepease and also as NYTOL. Both put you to sleep. Benadryl normal and n0on drowsy put me to sleep. When i used it for hayfever i fell asleep between sets on the incline bench
