junksick said:I've heard this over and over but I have yet to see some actual sources to back up that benadryl "fucks up your liver and brain" or whatever people says it does. All the websites i've been to say that prolonged heavy use of benadryl isn't a good idea per say, but that it isn't going to poison you.
You obviously didn't look very hard
Just type in the search terms "Diphenhydramine" and "toxicity" into Google and you get loads.
e.g.
http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic38.htm
Of all antihistamine exposures reported to US poison control centers in 1999 (AAPCC-TESS data), 3884 (7.4% ) resulted in moderate-to-major toxicity and 28 (0.05% ) resulted in fatality. The vast majority of fatalities (71% ) were associated with diphenhydramine.
