I dosed 25mg of diazapam about an hour ago, would it be a bad idea to add 50mg diphenhydramine into the mix, ie will it potentiate or add to the buzz or will it just over sedate me or knock me out?
 
Chances are it will probably just knock you out...I would save it for when you're about to go to sleep...and probably drop the diphenhydramine dosage down to 25mg....
 
^ this, if you aren't used to taking diphenhydramine then i would wait until you want to go to sleep. if you take them together, the next thing you know you will be waking up at 9am.
 
Yeah, I'd also recommend saving the diphenhydramine. I personally don't find any amount very enjoyable. It only makes me tired. However, I find that when I take a LOT I can't sleep at all, not that I feel stimulated in any way that's enjoyable. More like... irritable as hell. That all said, if you take it at all, take a smaller amount. 25-50mg. With the valium, you will probably sleep a-ok... with a reasonable dose of diphen before you intend on laying down.
 
Why do people take diphenhydramine? It's an antihistamine for crying out loud. It ONLY sedates, there are no euphoric properties to it in the slightest. In fact larger doses are dramatically dysphoric.

Larger doses of DPH, ouch. Talk about disaster. In combination with other sedative drugs, mostly opiates more then anything; 1st generation anti-histamines can add to a high. Increasing the nod and reducing histamines (helps with itches, nausea etc...). Anything over 50mg IMO and your detracting from whatever the experience is, I never take it unless I want to go to bed on opiates and it gets rid of all the itchies, plus it knocks you out obvsiously.
