User Reviews for Benadryl oral

I used to get good results but now find myself so groggy and confused I can no longer use this product, unfortunately it appears to be the only treatment for my perfume allergies.

I've been taking one a night for at least a year. It definitely helps and I have experienced no side effects.

I just started using benadryl to try and sleep. It wasn't very effective and it caused extreme nausea. I won't use it again.

Makes me very sleepy within 30 minutes. I've noticed that I feel like I can't sleep without it so watch out for becoming dependant. I also use it for hives.

I am 54 years old and have had trouble sleeping most of my life. I lost my husband this year and really have trouble sleeping. But of all the things I've ever taken I feel safest with Beadryl

gave to my 2 year old after the doctor said to for a cold and she begain studdering, off balance and tliting her head. it's 3 weeks later and she is still studdering.

The medicine worked when I was a little girl with my sneezing, itching, and allergies but made me tired. Now I'm allergic to it, it makes me unconsious and unable to breathe.

I have had to go to the ER several times to receive medication to calm my EPS. They would always give me some kind of pills and a shot or two. I finally asked what it was that they were giving me and if they would give me a script for it because the Cogentin I was taking just wasn't working enough. The Doctor told me it was Benadryl and a pain drug. I asked if I could use a pain med that I was already on and OTC Benadryl and what dosage. When I had my next BAD episode of EPS, I did as directed and I was amazed that 25 minutes later, my muscles were almost totally calm. This time no trip to the ER! To me Benadryl is a real miracle worker! Read More Read Less

I have not experienced any bad side effects. It has helped me sleep very sound, and I don't feel drowsy or irritable the next day. I take 50 mg of the Benedryl sleep aid at night about 1 hr. before I go to bed.

Is this drug absorbed by the liver and does its use affect the liver function?

allergic to a drug for allergy, cannot use this drug.

I take this medication not only for iches, but also to go to sleep at night.

Each time i take this medication I have an out come better than before i took it. There have been times that my children have became ill and have gotten a rash or a cold and it has worked mericals for me. Thank you for Benadryal.!!!!!!!

has made my stomach very upset after 10 days of use.

I use this for the hives it works very well.

I was taking Benadryl for relief from Poison Ivy contact, but after a week, the rash seemed to spread, not diminish. I developed a secondary rash from taking the Benadryl and ended up twice as miserable. My MD concluded that I am allergic to diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl. After 10 days of Prednisone (for the rashes) and Percocet (to sleep), I was able to resume my life.

I used this off and on for several years for insomnia. I will no longer use it for several reasons. 1) Tolerance develops so quickly, and I end up having to take 6 pills to get to sleep 2) Too many side effects have become noticeable, mainly intense itchiness, confusion, anxiety, concentration problems, etc. 3) I've learned it can cause long-term side effects. The risks and poorer quality of life that are involved with taking this medicine make it not worth it for me. I tried to go off it when I had been taking it for several weeks, and experienced withdrawal (mainly in the form of excess salivation). Hope I can maintain the willpower to not take it again!

ended up inhospital with atrial fibrilation

I use Benadryl mainly for allergies but it also helps me greatly in helping me sleep at times. I use it mainly for seasonal allergies and also if I have a reaction to meds which is usually itchie eyes and hives (as directed by my doctor of course) and it does the trick. I'm glad that there is something I can take OTC as soon as I have a reaction to a med. I take it right away and than call my doctor. Benadryl is the best OTC med there is in my opinion. It covers a wide range of help for many causes of needing it. I just love it and highly recommend anyone talking to their doctor about using the drug. Read More Read Less
