I wanna die, but I wanna keep my family... not sad that I died... so....

I'm sorry you're going through that mate. Benadryl is extremely unpleasant to trip on for most people, and it will only make things worse. Would you consider talking with a hotline or warmline (consensual rescue - they won't have you involuntarily hospitalised)?

[–] [email protected] 96 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I accidentally did.

Back in jr high, I was sick as hell and helped myself to Benadryl.

Thought I was taking them as directed, over a period of days. Nope. Was taking them every hour or two for part of the morning and into the afternoon. Luckily, not a lethal dose or anything.

But I was seeing some shit!

The walls were breathing, the floor had waves, and he-man came out of my TV on battlecat to talk to me. My GI Joes had a fight with COBRA, and I vaguely remember talking to Spider-Man as I was drifting off at one point.

Not without fucking your kidneys up!

Yeah, just stay awake long and overwork your brain (preferable with stuff you like, or you'll fail to stay awake long enough).
You reach a point where you feel mentally tired, unable to concentrate well but unable to sleep because it is conflicting with your Carcadian rhythm. At that time, you can get to a relatively darker place, watch/read/think of whatever you want to hallucinate and it might work.

Make sure not to be sedentary during the whole exercise or you will require much more effort with much less effect.

Doing this alongside fasting, helps (makes you stay awake more).

At the end of it, your day and night cycle will be destroyed and you will have to restore it over time.


Oh and don't drive

Good way to get early onset dementia

[–] [email protected] 43 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Benadryl! Because you can't have allergies if you're unconscious.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

At my first IT job, we had to attend a week or two of training before actually doing the job. I was eighteen at the time and didn't know nothin' about nothin' ... Including that benadryl makes you sleepy.

Sometime in the first few days of training, I was having some pretty bad allergies and a roommate suggested benadryl. I picked some up on the drive to work and took the recommended dose immediately, then headed into the training, which was nothing but lecturing for a full eight hours on the second floor of a building with a broken AC. Also in the small room were about 20-25 people and a 2005-era projector in the middle of the room.

I doubt I learned anything other than the side effects of benadryl that day. I'm fortunate that I did manage to stay conscious and that the drowsiness had probably worn off before my ninety minute drive home.

Haven't taken any since.

What is the recommended dose

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

25mg, aka one pill. Every 6 hours

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I don't know - I haven't had any in almost twenty years. I just took what it said on the box at the time.

better not owe money to the hat-man when you take benadryl

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The hatman does NOT respect gender pronouns past 450mg

I was gonna ask if this is the one ppl abuse to hallucinate a guy. The stories I've read, no thank you. I Wanna do shrooms, but with my anxiety, I need a real good head space to even try a low dose.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

I've done shrooms, LSD, and 2CT-7. Shrooms are chill. Even once you hallucinate, it's just like breathing walls, and the floor moving weird. I've never seen something that wasn't there on shrooms. Sure, shit that is there looks weird as fuck, but you're more likely to laugh your ass off than anything else. Pretty sure that's why they are starting to recommend micro dosing for depression and anxiety.

I wouldn't recommend 2CT-7 to anyone that isn't experienced with both shrooms and acid. Acid is intense as fuck, and can go all over the place if you aren't in the right headspace.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

These old school antihistamines, Benadryl, Phenergan, are so short term safe but I avoid them as much as possible now because they increase your risk for dementia so much when used regularly. Apparently by 50%!

So good when you really need to sleep and can't, so effective and cheap.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Sure, it would make me sleepy but my skin would feel weirdly sensitive every time. I couldn’t get comfortable at all, and would feel like I didn’t get any sleep the next morning.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

Fucked up and took too much Benadryl one time. Hallucinated spiders crawling all over me. After that, I swore to never touch the stuff again

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

You could torture me with diphenhydramine. I have restless leg syndrome, bad, take drugs to sleep every night. Women who have slept with me when I missed a pill made damned sure I had one. One gf almost sent me home when I joked about forgetting it. It would have been the couch for sure. Hell, it even gets into my arms when it's bad.

Imagine twitching from the waist down, paralyzed with fatigue from the waist up, screaming to pass out but your legs are doing the Charleston.

I think you may be on to something.

If I take a Benadryl, I go into a haze. Its not a good feeling. Not sure why people want to abuse it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

It's mostly adolescents who can't get anything better that abuse it sadly. They're desperate

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago

700 mg would be 28 pills. Good heavens!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

i was in a forum once where people abused benadryl, they would take it in 700-1000 range, and get deleriant effects of it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That's how I used to save money at the pub, drop a couple before I go out, have a couple of pre drinks, then go down buzzed and just keep yourself at that. 10/10 would recommend, just don't be a idiot about it.

Doxylamine + dopenhydramine + trazodone + melatonin + whiskey = best 72 hour nap Ive ever taken

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago

God, three days just absent from all of this chaotic persistent mental attack from all sides

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

What a waste of money... Take just one pill, chase it with a pint of beer with 50ml of vodka inside and you're golden for the day!
