I recently read something on a post about Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (Benadryl, Tylenol PM) causing liver damage. Although I am quite familiar with reports of using this drug as a psychoactive in high doses, I have never actually used it for this purpose. I take this drug for sedative purposes only and being a large guy, must now take up to 100mg doses to achieve the dose needed for sleep (maximum listed dose is 50mg, or two pills). I switched recently from using Tylenol PM which contains Acetaminophen, which I knew to be harsh on the liver, to using just pills that have Diphenhyrdramine Hydrochloride such as Benadryl. I thought this change would reduce any risks of higher doses with the drug on a daily basis. I am hoping for some insight from anyone who is familiar with this drug and its effects on the liver. Anything contributed will be greatly appreciated.
