Methadone and diphenhydramine

Common Questions and Answers about Methadone and diphenhydramine

methadose

Avatar m tn my wife is on methadone and also has trouble sleeping and takes Nytol/Benadryl (as both contain diphenhydramine hydrochloride, the same drug and depending on cost buys either). Anyway Methadone being an opiate causes constipation and so does diphenhydramine hydrochloride. Because of this she suffers from severe and I mean SEVERE constipation. She often does not have a bowel movement for 5-7 days at a time.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn Is it safe to take 3 tablets of diphenhydramine (75 mg) if 2 tablets (50 mg) doesn't help my insomnia?
225555 tn?1189755824 I was tell you this cause you can save alittle money by buying generic diphenhydramine hcl and it will do the same just trying to help.. have you tried melatonin it helps sleep.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I have a bottle of Unisom and the ingredient states it contains Diphenhydramine (An Antihistamine) not Doxylamine.
Avatar f tn 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.
624839 tn?1221807899 It could also cause you to have difficulty in coordinating movements, and may lead to excessive sleepiness and stupor, and respiratory depression. If the Fentora is not controlling your pain adequately, the dose may need to be increased. But I don't think it's a good idea to mix it with Diphenhydramine.
Avatar f tn 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).
1808884 tn?1324345703 I have to try one other thing someone posted to me. I feel like I am wasting my money!!! I take diphenhydramine, sea sick pills. I just want to be able to stop my head from being so awake!!! I seriously think I am worse than most!
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm on Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)now and also wanna take a HIV PCR test, does Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) affect the test result?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar n tn Can I Take Diphenhydramine HCI 50mg and Clonazepam .5mg and Lithium Carbonate 450mg in one dose tonight before bed.
1264367 tn?1408104163 I have gastroparesis, and GERD, and am on methadone maintenance. I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.
Avatar f tn Hi. It depends on what you're coming off of. I hope it's not methadone. I'm on my 8th off of it (again and yes I was that stupid) and don't expect to sleep till somewhere in the 20 to 30 day area. It's tough but you CAN wait it out. Hang in there.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
1219328 tn?1266881841 Diphenhydramine is the drug you're looking for. You can find it in Tylenol PM, Benedryl, Unisom and Sominex. The sleeping meds - Unisom and Sominex have the higher doses (if I'm not mistaken, it's double the dose of Benedryl - I also think it's cheaper to buy it in this form.) I'm certain you can find it in generic forms of these medications. The diphenhydramine apparently does a lot of good for RLS and of course, sleep.
Avatar f tn My wife has atopic dermititus and takes benedril every day to help with her skin is it ok for her to take while prego and taking it through out the whole pregnancy will it effect the babie or birth presedures
Avatar m tn The diphenhydramine helped me a lot - - I used it in conjunction with melatonin and had pretty good success................A warm shower also helps before bed....
Avatar f tn I'm seriously addicted to Diphenhydramine (in Benadryl, etc.). Is anyone here addicted to this stuff that seems to be NOT addictive to everyone else but me? I finally found a place on the internet that talks about being addicted to Diphenhydramine HCI Like I am. I saw a member's (Unisom) posts here from a few years ago ...I had to write him and anyone who may be on here reading this.
Avatar f tn The muscles in my bicep, tricep and forearm would tense. The arm would clench, the music would stop and POP, the arm would fly up and out, as if trying to right hook an opponent who wasn't there. Every 60 seconds for two hours -- until just before 3:45 -- I'd swing away into the dark. Until the left arm got in on it. By 7:30 in the morning, I wasn't a championship boxer, I was a retarded pigeon with defective wings.
