Benadryl overdose ?

Google it and you'll get an answer. WebMD or a site like that.

If you need to talk about the reasons behind that question, maybe it would help to explain a little more?

Don't take more than you are supposed to... It's painful and your going to think your having a heart attack. Not to mention severe blurry vision which can last up to 2 days, and upset stomach. If you are trying to get high off of it, take it from me... it's not fun.
Other bad things it can do is raise your blood pressure (causes eye pain the next day) as well as dehydrate you and also give you convulsions/twitches (sometimes seizures).

Taken Benadryl to get high is great fun. I am 26 and have done plenty of "real" drugs in my time. I have done opiates, amphetamines, hallucinogens... the works. I feel pretty experienced in the drug world. One of my FAVORITE drugs is Diphenhydramine hydrochloride, more commonly known as Benadryl. I am 5'10" and 170 lbs. The first time I took them to get high I took about 15 25mg pills. It was a good experience, although there were sudden bouts of terror which quickly passed. The next time I took 20, and usually sick with that although I have taken 25. It creates a wonderful sense of delerium, where you're not sure if what you're thinking or hearing is real. I would say it is a hallucinogenic effect, although not so much visual as mental and auditory. It creates a wonderful physical effect in which you feel like the air has become water and you can float through it. I find myself waving my arms up and down slowly as if they were a fluid. The closest other drug I can compare that particular feeling to is Ecstasy. Your eyes may feel like they are bulging out of your face. It makes you feel extremely fatigued and wide awake at the same time. Eventually you will go to sleep but not pass out. It is a conscience decision. Typically I will sleep for 8-10 hours afterwards and find it hard to get up the next day, but once up it isn't so bad. I wouldn't recommend doing it when you have to be clear headed the next morning, but by lunch time you should be feeling about normal. Don't mix it with alcohol. I say this, however I do it at times. I say this mostly because I know my own personal limits however do not know what negative health effects I may be causing. I have noticed that there seems to be large bags under my eyes on a near permanent basis with what appear to be broken blood vessels below them. I also seem to develop a weird rosacea-like redness on my face. These seem to be the only major lasting effects.

Take at your own risk. It can kill you, as can most drugs worth doing. Be safe and do your homework.

Better living through chemistry.

Diphenhydramine overdose varies based on weight, height, gender, etc. It causes high blood pressure, delerium, confusion, blackouts, etc. It messes with the electrical conductivity within the heart valves and CNS, which causes arrythmias, which in turn can lead to seizures and life-threatening problems like cardiac arrest and stroke. You might not die, but its best to stay away. Withdrawal symptoms can come from excessive use. I have taken as much as 60 pills a day, but I also have a high tolerance. Be safe.

I took about 17 or 18 one time and its not fun at all all i remember was not being able to stop moving my legs really fast, and seeing and talking to people that where not there. I don't advise anyone to take more than what your supposed to. Trust me.

Of all antihistamine exposures reported to Poison Control in 2007, 69 resulted in fatality (death). The vast majority of these fatalities were associated with diphenhydramine. (This info is from article: "Toxicity, Antihistamine" from WebMD at emedicine.medscape.com
I suggest that we, as concerned citizens, urge FDA to require that this OTC med be kept behind the pharmacist counter and no larger package than 24 be sold and that the buyer be required to produce a driver's licence or state ID and read of the dangers of this med and sign a form that he or she knows the dangers of overdosing.

I have a friend that took 93 benadryl on Thrsday last week. As far as I know, she hasn't taken anything in the last 5 days. The day after she took them, approximately 24-36 hours later she had a seizure. She has never had a seizure before in her life. Since then she has had a seizure everyday and has been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance every morning. I am wondeing if anyone knows if her seizures, 5 days later, can b case from taking those 93 badryl last Thursday?? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Hey, soo she's having seizures now because the ben. has gotten in her blood system. i was just in the hospital the other day for having a ben. OD, and i only took 11. but i'm still having shaking problems and drowsiness. Did she go to the hospital the night she took them? Because if she did then they should of pumped her stomach to get the ben. cleared out. She needs to drink lots of water and she may not feel the same for a while.

I have taken up to 15 Benies at once, and mostly I do not care for the effect. I have noticed that it gives me restless leg syndrome. I also get really close to having a panic attack when taking more than 6. Be careful!
