User Reviews for diphenhydramine oral

Take about 4 to 6 25mm tablets at night. Also take 2 Xanax tablets. Recently by morning is I have slept fairly well, I remain a bit dizzy.

I was prescribed Ambian but discontinued after a few weeks because I was sleepwalking. I began taking OTC sleep aid and continued taking in for 5 years. I just began sleepwalking again. I won't take it again.

diphenhydramine is a key ingredient in Tylenol Nighttime and Advil Nighttime. Both are good for a solid night of sleep, staying asleep and not waking up due to aching hips. Found both OTC but also found it was habit forming. I was dizzy when getting up from lying down and had absolutely no energy for the remainder of the day. I discontinued taking both medicines in order to start feeling normal again. My heart also felt as though it was skipping a beat and beating faster than it should.

I have taken this for years to help me get to sleep. My cousin is a a pharmacology prof (PhD) and said this med is extremely safe as it is gone from your system upon awakening. It has been a blessing for me. I take 50 to 75 mg each night about 1 to 2 hours before I want to go to sleep.

diarrhea

Took sometimes to help get to sleep 2 50mg sleep aid gel caps helped get to sleep. But did get dry mouth and mucus problem. Finally, had severe side effect rapid heart rate and ever double fast heart rate and numbness in arms. Drug worked sometimes for insomnia but will discontinue.

While it worked for my sneezing it also made me VERY drowsy. other than Drowsiness worked.

Condition: Fall asleep easily,but wake for 2-3 hrs during night & RLS. I still wake during night, but no RLS. Go back to sleep easily and sleep another 4-5hrs. Groggy and irritable next morning.

helps me sleep

I was having a problem of not sleeping at night. I would wake up after 3 hrs. of sleep and then not be able to go back to sleep. Since taking this drug, if I wake up to use restroom I can fall back to sleep.

I have chronic insomnia. I have tried taking 25mg to 50 mg. I can get generic Benedril without a prescription. The medicine makes me want to get up every hour and urinate. At times I get extremely nervous on it and feel like I want to climb the walls. By morning I am utterly exhausted from getting up & down & watching the clock but must make it thru the day. I have found that doxylamine made by Unisom generally will put me asleep and I can get results from it for 3 days in a row and then no more. These drugs are both antihistamines so I don't know why benedryl makes me so high.Read More Read Less

This treatment consistently provides a full nights sleep for me. I use about 1/3 the suggested dosage and at times still awake with a groggy hangover.

I have just started using ZZZ Quil for chronic insomnia. In this short term use it has done wonders. But it is recommended for only occasional use. Has anybody used it for long term and what are the side effects in the long term daily use? Any feedback will be appreciated.

I use this to help me fall asleep. It works great if you give yourself time to lay down and relax. Try not to take it if you have a lot of things to do though, because then it isn't going to work as well.

Makes every muscle in my body ache, especially my legs, which further PREVENTS me from going to sleep. Had muscle soreness the next morning. Tried it on several different occasions with the same side effects.

I have had trouble sleeping since going off Morphine about 3 months ago. So far I have tried: Clonazapam, Ambien 5mg & 10mg, Seroquil, Restoril 7.5mg & 15mg, OTC ZeeQuil, now OTC Diphenhydramine 50mg. NONE have given me a good night's sleep consistantly. Usually only 1 night out of 5, or not at all. I took 2 50mg gelcaps tonight at 11:30PM and it is now 4:00AM and I am still awake. I have gone back to bed 2 times since I took the gelcaps. I also itch and feel like needles are poking me in my legs and arms. Have to call my Dr. for something new. Diphenhydramine HCL Did Not work for me.Read More Read Less

some sleep relief

I have chronic insomnia, so I've been using generic OTC 25 mg geltabs or tablets to try to sleep. They rarely work for me, but I do get some of the side effects - mainly dry mouth, thirst & difficulty urinating. When I haven't been able to sleep for 3-4 days/nights consecutively, I've tried taking 50 mg or even 75 mg. THIS IS AGAINST THE INSTRUCTIONS, SO I AM NOT RECOMMENDING IT. I still can't sleep, but my vision gets weird. In the dark, I see an intricate pattern on anything I look it. I see it when I close my eyes, too. It looks sort of like fabric or floor tiling. The background is brown, and there are thin black lines forming the pattern, which is mainly boxes of different sizes. Has anyone else experienced this?Read More Read Less
