User Reviews for Benadryl oral

Nausea has been a huge problem with taking pain medications. taken with nausea medications benadryl has nearly stopped the nausea completely. What a blessing.

Had very poor success with this drug for sleep assistance. Mostly groggy in the morning with poor sleep benefit.

Benadryl (and its off-brand counterparts) is the only thing that works well for my allergies. If I try to take any of the 12 or 24 hour stuff, it stops working in just a few hours. With this, I know that I can take another dose every 4 or 5 hours and never have to worry about feeling like I can't breathe. The only problem is that I do get drowsy on it, which makes working difficult.

I have taken Benadryl off and on since I was small and it works better than anything else on the market for my symptoms about 99% of the time. The supposedly "non-drowsy" stuff doesn't work worth beans for me, this I rely on because I can count on it working time and time again. The only downside is it does make me a bit drowsy at times. Oddly enough it has the opposite effect on my mother, it almost makes her hyper but it helps her with the itchy rash she gets from time to time.

Ive been taking this medication for the past five years and it makes me urinate often, and its very dependant i can't sleep without it.

My 8 yr old gets over tired ,she has mild CP,a treatment with Benedryl helps her mood ,she calms down .would like to understand why. The Dr, said giving it was ok if it worked.

IV been taking max. Strength Unisom sleep gels 50mg of diphenhydramine each soft gel now for 2 1/2yrs, I wish I had never of started, can't sleep w/o it. I go into a withdrawal after 32hrs of not having it. Feverish severe nausea, chills, just down right awful. There not much science on side effects for long term users and I wanna warn people to be careful and take occasionally.

It was by accident I found benedryl to stop my parkinson's symptons. I took it as my dauther was visiting with her cat. I was allergic to her cat. I took the benedryl and forgot to take my sinemet for a whole day with no tremors. Next day I took benedryl again for allergies and again I did not need sinemet all day. A week of no sinemet was wonderful. No falling, weakness or tremors. When daughter left with her cat, I stopped taking benedry. Within 24 hours I needed the sinemet. Has no one else had this experience????Read More Read Less

It works well and is very cheap if you buy it from Sam's.

I moved into a new apartment 7+ months ago & started having very bad allergies and my asthma has been acting up, expecially at night, which made sleeping impossible...so I started taking benadryl about 4 months ago & now I can usually sleep without a stuffy nose & my asthma is less likely to act up in the middle of the night! So amazing to have some relief!! I was worried about any long term effects, but have decided that breathing comes first for now :)

test review

I am allergic to latex, this helps with any hives associated with this. Also for a sleep aid, when I want to fall asleep and not keep waking up from insomnia. My usual dose is one 25mg tab. For sinus allergies, usually 1/2 dose if I'm driving.

I take 1 benadryl in the evening. 1 claritin in morning daily. These 2 pills keep my nose clear & I breathe good & keep my nostrils open. I always suffer from allergy.

I have chronic allergies and I found that Benadryl is the only over the counter medication that I can use that actually works. It stops my allergies and has me feeling better within a short period of time. The only problem I actually have with is is the fact that if I take more than two doses of it and go to sleep, some time during the night I will stop breathing for a few seconds and find myself waking up breathing heavily. This only happens when I take benadryl.

ANXIETY: This is the only medication I have found that actually stops anxiety and panic attacks, I have tried everything on earth and this stopped it completely. You will have to take small doses if you need to be awake like me, as I have a job and drive alot. I learned to take hald of a table and it makes me a bit sleep but atleast the anxiety is finally gone.

Another one that never worked for vertigo, yet they still perscribe it.

I personally did not take this medication but my mother overdosed and died off of this medication. i would never use this drug!!
