Benadryl side fx

**blondmyth** · 08-14-2006, 06:18 AM

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?

I never have any sides from benadryl but sleepiness

**Mizfit** · 08-14-2006, 06:26 AM

**rar1015** · 08-14-2006, 06:47 AM

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.

after i went off the benadryl i had a sore throat for a week almost like post nasal drip... I'm not blaming the benadryl i'm just merely stating

Taken in large doses it can make u have palpitations

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!

What does that even mean?

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.

Its kind of like an allergic reaction. when i was little i could not take benadryl made me hyper and felt like my skin was crawling off me. now when i take it i go right to sleep.

**cj1capp** · 08-14-2006, 11:34 AM

benadryl is also CNS depressant it can cause a drop in BP and make you thirsty, how much in mg's did you take.

**blondmyth** · 08-14-2006, 08:52 PM

i took 2x25mg pills, thats it, but see the thing is, Ive never taken it, maybe i just need to get used to it

**l2elapse** · 08-15-2006, 12:14 AM

bendaryl makes it impossible for me to wake up!

**texasaggie05** · 08-15-2006, 12:31 AM

haha ambien will make you trip if you fight the sleep....interesting night

**cfiler** · 08-15-2006, 09:35 AM

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

I second this

**blondmyth** · 08-15-2006, 12:38 PM

hold on, the bendaryl i was taking is not the drowsy formula...do you guys take the drowsy formula, ie, guaifinsesn or something like that in it?

**rar1015** · 08-15-2006, 12:49 PM

I didnt know they made non-drowsy benadryl. I looked for it a while ago and couldnt find it anywhere.

**l2elapse** · 08-15-2006, 02:19 PM

its weird, the active ingredient in benadryl is the antihistamine which is Diphenhydramine HCl , but if you go to like the sleep aids..same ingredeint but listed as sleep aid

**indaweedz** · 08-30-2006, 11:09 AM

ive read in this forum and elsewhere that benadryl is sold in other parts of the world as a sleep aid/antihistamine

***perfectbeast2001*** · 08-30-2006, 01:00 PM

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
