About a year ago, needing something to
help me sleep, I decided to use an over
the counter sleep medicine. Noticing that
the chemicals in most of the pills was
nothing but diphenhydramine, and knowing
that was the ingredient of benadryl, I
took the more economical route and bought
a bottle of the benadryl. I started
taking them, maybe 5 a so or night when I
first started, and increased the dose
after not too long. I noticed strange
auditory and visual hallucinations and an
overall comfortable feeling that I
enjoyed, along with an extreme lack of
short term memory which oddly I found
entertaining. Being an obsessive person,
i've been taking anywhere from 15 to 30
benadryls every night for the last year or
so. So far it hasn't negatively affected
my life or wallet much at all, but after
doing it for this long I assume there must
be some kind of negative long term
effects? If so, does anyone have an idea
as to what they could be? I haven't been
able to find anyone with the same
addiction, so I thought i'd post it
somewhere and hope for an answer. Thanks
