Ever taken a skinful of IV Benadryl?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

Ten hours later and I'm still so relaxed I can barely sit up. (I get it along with my fix of Remicade once every 6 weeks. It stops any allergic reaction symptoms. Works great!)

Ain't modern medicine wonderful?

1. Benadryl has a weird effect on me. I don't like it.

It does sedate me but it gives me insomnia at the same time. If I take it before bed I won't be getting much sleep.

2. Me too. It's a paradoxical effect.

The sleep aids made with diphenhydramine keep me up all night but it sure is good for allergies.

5. Happens to me and my mom as well.

If I do sleep, my dreams are weird as hell.

3. WOW, that WOULD be a knockout.

It's been years since I've taken Benadryl orally, and never IV. Using the cream often these day, anti-mosquito bite.

4. When the EMT got it into my bloodstream, I proposed.

True story. Full body poison ivy toxic shock for a week, blood pressure 156, predisone not working, called the emt's, was admitted for 3 days: IV stearoids.

Now, I understand drug addiction. Benadryl. Yes!

6. Yes, with every chemo treatment. I was so scared the first time the nurses gave me

Benadryl from then on. I slept through my treatments.
