Misc diphenhydramine visuals?!

[tabsandcaps]

Seriously what is this Benadryl spiders trip? My friend first told me about it and then I did some reading online and this is actually a thing! Has anyone here ever experienced this? If so how much benadryl do you actually need to take to hallucinate like this? And are the visuals limited only to spiders?

Do people see spiders because thats what they go into the trip EXPECTING. If i imagined nothing but puppies or bacon or tits! would i just constantly see tits in the corner of my room, or tits crawling up my arm, I dont see how or why a drug would make you litterly see and only see spiders, it has to be a mindset going into it that, hey im gonna see spiders, and your brain makes it real? Thoughts, challenges, debates, experiences? Fucking benadryl how does somone find this out!! Well just incase my cough doesnt go away with 2, i better take 19 just to be safe.

yeah pretty common, its exactly like being sleep deprived or on a stim binge. They aren't limited to spiders, the visuals look like lines wiggling and can be seen as spiders pretty easily when you are high. Some people have described violent visuals; like seeing their dead grandmother attack them or whatever. Ive never really had visuals like that even at high doses; just strange experiences.

yeah it could be the case that people go in expecting to see spiders but i think many people have a fear of spiders and the hallucinations are just a manifestation of your fears, whatever they may be (could be snakes for example).

DPH isn't very helpful for a cough btw, DXM is a much better, just in case you do have a cough lol

Anticholinergic trips are never pleasant, and more reminiscent of a nightmare.

 

[mardoux]

this has happened to me on a desperate attempt to fall asleep when wd'ing from benzos and suboxone...it was like tripping for sure, i noticed when i was in the bathroom and i looked at the floor and there were patterns... i took a lot that day, whatever is in the small box, 24? it wasn't all at once but over a 24 hour period...i just wanted to go to sleep to make it go away but it also made my heart race. no fun for sure..

 

[Nine North]

yeah, a long time ago had hallucinations from taking a lot of benadryl, wiggles, patterns, what I thought were ants, even a few trails but that was after taking 16 pills at once and then another 4 an hour later. Not a good memory at all, a nightmare is right

my first experience with this was when I was probably 14 years old. me and a friend had tripped on DXM a couple times and found it really boring. We'd read about benadryl trips and decided to combine the 2. The sweet spot we found dosage wise was around 300mg of each drug. Avoid DXM with guaifanesin, that's all I'll say about that. Anyways so we both dosed and started tripping, at around 45 minutes shit started to get weird. My friend puked and it was just a pile of red robo gel tabs. So we're both lying down starting to trip and the light was on in the corner of the room. I got up to turn it off and there was a really weird surreal vibe to the room, I walked over to the light and reached for the switch and my hand went right through the wall. I kept trying and my hand kept going through the wall. All of a sudden I noticed my eyes feel funny and to my dismay I realized that my eyelids were both closed. I opened my eyes and I was still laying down. Throughout the night me and my friend both had out of body experiences like this, mostly consisting of getting up and trying to perform simple tasks like turning off the light or going to get something, and then realizing we were still laying down. This is the only drug that has caused visuals like this in my life. I wouldn't take it now, the body load is kind of ridiculous, but it was something that I'll never forget. The DXM and Diphenhydramine have extremely synergistic effects, and taking either on their own was always disappointing. DXM is what's called a dissociative, and Diph is called a dileriant, so I'm sure you can figure out how the two would go together hand in hand.

I cannot in good faith condone the abuse of anticholinergics such as diphenhydramine, as there can be quite drastic health consequences. I've heard of people who end up shitting blood for weeks, that cannot be healthy. No experience is worth that detrimental effect on your body, IMO, it's probably even worse than abusing cough medicine which is another ludicrous trend.

Think ahead about the long-term damage.

 

[tabsandcaps]

Damn that sounds insane!

 

[RedRum OG]

Its only "like tripping" if you consider dreams tripping. I mean its like being sleep deprived or being half awake and kind of hallucinating. It's not psychedelic whatsoever, and not enjoyable or recreational in the least

I mean if I have an intense dream and it wakes me up I see shit sometimes, and too much diphenhydramine reminds me of the same effect

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

Hallucinogenic doses of anticholinergics are not recreational, come with a nasty body load (beneath that dosage level, even), and are not at all recommended. For weird hallucinations try z hypnotics.

If you must use anticholinergics, diphenhrydramine is certainly a better choice than datura, since you can accurately measure out your dose. Also, check out our B&D thread on the subject.

it's probably even worse than abusing cough medicine which is another ludicrous trend.

I'm assuming you're referring to DXM and not other antitussive syrups containing codeine or hydrocodone, and I must ask, what's your problem with it?

Back in the late 80's-90's we called DXM "Robo" after the brand name Robitussin....I can't begin to tell you how many times my cock shriveled up to the size of a peanut with a walnut sized scrotum to match. Those were the days.

 

[majorigpa]

^ me on every stimulant. honestly one of the biggest disconnects between me and the rest of the drug community is the whole "meth/blow makes me so horny" mentality. because all it does for me is make me want more meth/blow and for my cock to return to it's natural state.

....
I mean if I have an intense dream and it wakes me up I see shit sometimes...

Woah, really? You mean you have visuals that persist as you wake up???? I've gone to bed with some amazing closed eye visuals (CEVs) but pretty much the second I wake up / open my eyes, the visuals disappear instantaneously. To be totally clear though, when I'm talking about visuals/CEVs, I do NOT mean with diphenhydramine, (I have never abused DPH in my life nor do I ever intend to) rather, I'm speaking of the extremely rare but absolutely stunning CEVs I get once in a blue moon from repeated heavy dosing of potent cannabis extracts.

I'm assuming you're referring to DXM and not other antitussive syrups containing codeine or hydrocodone, and I must ask, what's your problem with it?

Yeah, I mean DXM. I don't mean to be so harsh I guess, I just never understood how the people I knew that would abuse DXM could enjoy that shit. It's not a social drug, at all, nothing cool about hanging out with a bunch of zombies who are off in their own worlds, fun for absolutely no one involved except the person under the influence, and it just does not look fun at all.

I've only ever used DXM for therapeutic reasons and at low doses for NMDA antagonism for a brief trial period with no success, but anyways, even at therapeutic doses it gives me extremely vivid, lucid dreams, and makes me feel verrrrrry weird. Hard to describe.

All in all, DXM is just not the type of experience that appeals to me, and from a pharmacological standpoint, I think it's a really dirty drug.

The only cough syrup I like contains hydrocodone

 

[RobotRipping]

it's certainly a dirty drug in that sense but the euphoria is intense at the right dose. thats why people do it, not to mention the fact that it bends and warps your whole understanding of the universe. Different drugs for different people, but i bet if u had pharm grade dxm and took it like say MXE you'd have an equally fun experience with DXM as MXE. This cough medicine stuff gives DXM a bad name as a drug. Either way if you dont like dissociatives you aren't going to like dxm or mxe or k.

 

[tricomb]

Fair point indeed.

 

[Mr.Scagnattie]

I hated the Beny trip... it was the most uncomfortable, dirty, just hellish trip I ever had.. accompanied by a body high that makes you want to crawl out of your skin. I can't even take the shit anymore for allergies or something because now even low doses remind me of that feeling and I want to freak out, hah.

I don't suggest this as a viable option for tripping.. I know some people say they've had a decent time on it.. but I was not one of those people. Ha.

 

[down508]

oh yeah I should mention I saw this guy, I thought I was going to die and he started telling me to come with him and the body load was so bad I was like ok if it makes it stop.

I think most people who take like 19 Benadryl do so deliberately. Diphenhydramine is not very good for most coughs anyway, maybe if there is a light cough is due to irritation. People taking it for sleep or allergies sometimes exceed the proper dose, assuming more is better, and some people do seem more sensitive to side effects than others. The interesting thing about diphenhydramine is that the effects change with the dose. For example, taking a little helps induce sleep, taking a lot makes you not able to sleep. But there is definitely no drug that consistently makes anyone who takes it see spiders and only spiders. If someone takes a bunch of Benadryl and sees spiders, it is likely because they are expecting spiders or their individual brain interpreted the weird visuals/patterns/shadows as spiders. I also do NOT suggest taking high doses of Benadryl for a multitude of reasons. I really don't find it fun even in medium doses.

Yea for whatever reason ever since I started smoking too much weed my sleep/dreams changed permanently, even when I take a break from smoking. So they're incredibly intense sometimes and I snap awake and for a while its like tripping for 30 seconds until my brain realizes I'm awake, it's like I'm in the real world but my brain keeps dreaming. It's kind of like when you're nodding really hard on opiates and pop awake thinking your friends in the room, but more intense/visual

It's very unpleasant, usually nightmares, and plus I'm on bupe maintenance so that could play into it, cuz usually when I snap awake its cuz I'm starting to get sick and need morning dose
