since ativan induces sleep and so does the Diphenhydramine portion in the Excedrin PM, the two together can compound (increase) the drowisness. Therefor I cant know if it is safe for you, sorry.
I have hepatitis C and can not currently afford to see a doctor for it. I have terrible insomnia and take 75 mg of diphenhydramine HCL(Benadryl) each night to help me sleep. Is this a safe medication to take?
i took tylenol pm last night and just wanted to know how long it takes until the diphenhydramine gets out of your system because this is one of the things tested for in my urine, even though it is rediculous because I had a headache and needed it.
Is it safe to take 3 tablets of diphenhydramine (75 mg) if 2 tablets (50 mg) doesn't help my insomnia?
i went into a 3 day tail spin of intense anxiety, racing thoughts, and obsessive thinking about the anxiety and fear of it coming back. i could literally not think of anything else. on top of that hell, i couldn't sleep through the night. 50mg of diphenhydramine would knock me out. but i would wake up 1-3 hours later. the first 2 nights this happened, i was able to fall back asleep. but the following nights, i wasn't able to fall back asleep.
I have a bottle of Unisom and the ingredient states it contains Diphenhydramine (An Antihistamine) not Doxylamine.
Tylenol PM is just acetemenophen and diphenhydramine (trade name Benedryl). I do not have access to a copy of the PDR (unless it is available online) but someone who does could check and see if there are any warnings on those two chemicals regarding PVCs.
Small trivia note: diphenhydramine was approved for OTC sleep aid BEFORE it was approved for allergy relief OTC. Years ago I was having a problem with a rash and didn't have medical insurance. A friend at Church was a pharmacist.
Sinusitis, chronic bronchitis then COPD. All because doctors refused to treat the sinusitis. Because of this I can't afford the meds that are the staple of COPD treatment. But it did lead me into an alternative that works better and with less side effects. Benadryl works on the same principle as does ipratropium but I have never been told to use it. I can't tolerate Advair (causes angina) nor Albuterol (causes worse congestion and coughing).
Hi, I'm on Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)now and also wanna take a HIV PCR test, does Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) affect the test result?
ambien and all those other regular ol sleep meds NEVER worked for me....melatonin neither....i've used a natural product containing passionflower and tart cherry which has worked wonders (also good to take every 2-4 hours during the day for anxiety)....but i think most of all, what i JUST discovered, is that taking 1000 mg of magnesium RIGHT before bedtime does the trick.....wow.....i have been taking mag for the past 6 months....but like 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.....
You do need the Ativan and Zoloft, and know each day on the Zoloft you are closer to feeling better and it will help control your racing mind. I agree that therapy would be very beneficial for you. Getting to the root of your problem is always the best way to go. It is a vicious cycle created by worry which feeds our anxiety. Hopefully, your doctor can help you with this and ask to be referred to a therapist. Take care.
I take a combo of diphenhydramine and diazepam to try to sleep. It used to be zolpidem and diazepam but the zolpidem stopped working and because of my depression/self-harm/suicidal tendencies I would knock myself out day and night for days sometimes till I felt safe to get out of bed and I was taking way too much of both. Now it's the diphenhydramine/diazepam combo. I'm taking less diazepam than I used to with the zolpidem but more and more diphenhydramine and it's worrying me.
I'm on day 12 detox of hydro. haven't had much sleep for pushing 2 months from tapering down then kicking. the first 3 days of wd were bad, but after that, it's just I can't sleep. mostly from muscles flexing and contracting. it get's a little better every day, but still I can't sleep and am exhausted. I finally broke down and tried the benadryl and it worked well last night. I couldn't sleep again tonight and finally broke down and took some more at 3am.
I just want all of you out there to know that my friend took an overdose of diphenhydramine last night. He took 100 of the 25 mg pills. Within 30 minutes he had horrible halucinations, and then around 4 hours later he was violently throwing up blood and stuff. He couldn't walk well and coordination was bad. This morning he slurs when he talks. He has had a stroke. The reason he did this was because he was diagnosed with cancer. Pancreatic and lung. He was given less than 6 mos.
I just got back from the dr and got a script for Ambien. I'm afraid of the sleep walking side effect though, anybody had problems with it?
Can I Take Diphenhydramine HCI 50mg and Clonazepam .5mg and Lithium Carbonate 450mg in one dose tonight before bed.
Tylenol PM (Acetaminophen and Diphenhydramine) is not considered to be an addictive product. The reason Tylenol PM helps you sleep at night is due to the Diphenhydramine which is a sedating antihistamine that is used in many OTC night time formulations. Diphenhydramine can cause side effects such as excessive daytime sedation, dry mouth, and urinary retention and thus its use long term as a sleep aid may not be preferred, but it is not addictive.
diphenhydramine is Benadryl.
waterLilly7 probably meant Doxylamine, which is Unisom.
A slow taper can be done over time, slowly decreasing the medication little by little. The body doesn't notice when it's done in small enough increments, and the body is given time to get used to a slightly smaller amount.
How fast or slow one tapers depends on what works. A fast taper can be from 0 to 2 weeks. A slow taper may take months.
I know there are posts on diphenhydramine abuse on here already, however the ones that I've found are a few years old. I am wondering if anything new has come up on diphenhydramine abuse. There is still limited information online about it. Reading other people's articles has shocked me because my reaction to diphenhydramine is quite different. I'm a heavy user, usually about 20 a day, ten at a time. What makes me feel different is my lack of negative side effects on it.
