I weigh 102 (probably gained a bit more weight but i have a high metabolism), and i'm 5"1. I'm a pretty short chick but whatever. I wanted to take benadryl (experimenting) and i was thinking of taking 20 capsules. Is this bad first time? I want to get full blown effects. I am a virgin at this psychedelic stuff so this is my first time taking a hallucinogenic drug.
 
I would not recommend taking Benadryl(diphenhydramine) as your first hallucinogen!!! It is a deliriant, not a psychedelic. You could very well have a disorienting, embarrassing and terrifying time.

Deliriants cause an extremely powerful mental state called a delirium. You will experience true hallucinations, virtually indistinguishable from reality. If something frightening appears it will frighten you, possibly even terrify you. Deliriants have little recreational value for almost all people, they are commonly described as unenjoyable. Psychedelics are not like deliriants at all. Deliriants are typically used by experienced psychonauts looking to explore the effects and how they contrast to those of other hallucinogens.

Trust me when I say that you're almost guaranteed not ready for a diphenhydramine experience. Experiment with psychedelics first.
 
I feel like taking the risk, i know about the warnings. That's why i wanted to experiment with it because it's just weird. Of course i'm never gonna take it again, i just want to know the recommended capsules for me. Because i don't want to overdose on it, if that's even possible. I want to experience the full effect.
 
You've probably already taken it, but if not I strongly suggest reading the warnings again. Benadryl overdose is known to cause permanent bladder control failure. That being said, I've taken 30 of the jokers to be knocked out before. I weighed 190 or so lbs at the time, so an equivalent (i.e. I expect you to be right-about knocked out) dose would be about 15 25-mg tablets.
All being said, I'd recommend dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) over Benadryl if you're going for conscious effects, but be sure to read up.
 
Whatever you take don't take hard pinkies, look for a liquid with DPH in it. I used to take a LOT of DPH and I don't particularly recommend it to anyone, but it is a hell of a trip when you get the dose right and manage to stay awake.. I suggest coffee.

Good luck.
 
Psudoepedrine or epedrine to stay awake. Try 12 instead jeeze my baby girl tried 10 on her first time and it knocked her on her ass hard. Also if you see stuff.. yeah... that isnt real.. but tell that to the spider on your shoulder. Naw kidding 250mgs of dph wont make you hallucinate, you just feel the body high. Try 350-400mgs on a second or third dose and you might hallucinate.. I really think that dph is good when your on a weekly piss test and bored. But even then you have dxm and k. A whole assortment of drugs on the S.R. Even raid your parents medicine cabinet. Like anything that ends with a pam makes you sedated. And anything that ends with a morphine or codon will make you feel a opiate buzz. Read up on ewriod. Im geussing your young and experimenting have fun.

Really? We're advocating stealing prescription medications from people who (probably) need them and diverting them to people who (probably) don't understand them? 8) I think we can do better.

OP, it's clear from your small collection of posts on BL that you're dying to get high however you can. No judgment there, but let's just call this what it is. You sound like a young person, and I can't figure out why you should be all alone in this -- asking for first-steps advice from strangers. How about making some personal connections -- and not on CL (from another post). Friends at school? Look for the kids in the tie-dyed t-shirts or the guys who play in bands. They're a better crowd than your neighborhood pharmacists.

Given your age and physical stature, all of this DXM, DPH, etc. talk is slightly concerning. :? Trust me -- there are a lot of beautiful ways this can go. Back of an ambulance isn't one of those, though.

Good luck! Be safe?
 
DXM would be somewhat safer to trip on than DPH, because it's less likely to cause you to wander out into traffic or something in a delirium. But both of them are far more dangerous psychologically than real psychedelics like LSD or shrooms, even though the latter are illegal and harder to acquire. I started out with nutmeg and DXM myself, because I didn't know any better and I thought it would be safer to use stuff I could buy at a drugstore instead of through a drug dealer or online.....that was a huge mistake, and I nearly had a psychotic break. When I got the chance to try 2C-I several months later it was a huge relief, nothing like the psychological ordeal that 3rd plateau DXM trips were. I know it can be frustrating when you're just starting out and you want to alter your consciousness and you don't have any good connections, but I'd recommend you bide your time and do a little more research and figure out what it is you're really looking for, it'll work out better for you in the long run.
 
too much.


i am biased though, a quick story:

i had a friend in high school who used to love the quick-fix drug store legal highs, benedryl, DXM, dramamine, etc. i spent most of my time playing music and we were lucky in our little town to have a big all day local music-fest every few months. it gave up and coming local acts a place to get exposure as well as bring some touring bands around. it was the place to be if you had anything to do with music at all. a couple months after i first started playing these great events as a sophomore in high school this kid showed up totally faced on benedryl...he was raging around moshing to the metal bands, dancing for the other acts and before anyone could do anything he worked himself into a seizure. the city revoked the promoters permits and our little DIY music scene went down the drain for the next handful of years!
 
So coming back with a report, i took 300mg of the Benadryl, and honestly i was expecting serious effects like spiders, apparitions of people, and all that crazy shit everyone talks about on benadryl. But i didn't get those effects, so here is how it went

9:20 AM: Took about 10 or 12 benadryl's
10:00 AM: Started to slightly doze off like a mild drunk, i was in my own world.
11:00 AM: Saw swirly hallucinations (wasn't floaters), but only if i focused on something for a bit long
11:20 AM: This is where i feel uncomfortable, my body was twitching and i felt cold. Hands looked weird, my veins were popping out.
11:40 AM: Was so tired to the point where i just needed to lay down. When i stood up i felt really dizzy and was hard for me to even walk. I must have looked like i was about to pass out because that's how i felt during the time. I think i heard an auditory hallucation afterwards though, with a static voice that said "hello"
12:00 PM: Started to have slight auditory hallucination, wasn't sure if they were real or not. But i heard my brother yell "Mom" even though he wasn't here.
12:15 PM: I was in a state of mental confusion, sometimes questioning myself where am i and where do i go even though i am very familiar with the place i am in and should have known where to go.
2:40 PM: Might have possibly saw a fat black spider on my knee but it was only there for a second after i blinked.

The rest of the day i just felt tired, weak, and nothing much else. I do have a high metabolism so maybe that's why i didn't get it as bad as everyone else did. Though the twitching disturbed me, it made me feel so uncomfortable. I am not thinking of doing benadryl ever again since the effects i had first time might possibly be even worse than what my first experience was. Even though it wasn't a harmful experience. The physical effects i had was a really hoarse voice like i just smoked 5 packs of Marlboro. It was hard for me to speak because my voice felt so harsh. Had to clear my chest to speak. My eyes were slightly reddish but nothing serious.
 
I take dipenhydramine every night and its always.the same. First nothing. Then music sounds better and everything seems hilarious and i have wierd thoughts like "poop corn eat the poop corn" and laugj to myself. Then about an hour in I'm drowsy. Then its hard to stay awake and pass out.

Then I always end up talking to a friend or facebooking but then wake up and realize it was fake. Turn over the same like three ways. Then back to sleep.

Then wake up and like sleep eat or get water. then pop awake the next day to like almost a nitrous peak that ends abruptly and I'm wide awake. lol

I like to take one with opiates or otc speed or something. I have a tolerance so I don't see shit.

Please do not take more than 100 mgs. Do not trip on sleep medication.

I will not source but if u need to go the OTC route their are better things.
 
Enough to get sick, at least 200 mgs
I find this anti-histamine self defeating when used recreational because disphoria is reported far more than euphoria.

I would rather be sober, yes; I think DPH is truly vile.

The experience is similar to sleep deprivation or hypomania. Sure, you feel different but different isn't always better.

I was thinking if i took 700 mg of them would i feel the effects? I dont think i gained a tolerance from it a day after, for some reason i liked the high it gave me even though i felt ill on it.

Huh?
 
Hey, a gal has every right to change her mind. But, I thought the goal in the beginning was to experience psychedelics? It seems like the plot got lost somewhere.

Now you're messing with a deliriant. You're a tiny person (no offense!) -- and you're planning to "titrate up" by more than doubling your last dose? You can't possibly know where "that line" is for you ... and yet you're challenging it anyway.

Continuing to swallow risky amounts of Benadryl just isn't a solid long-term strategy. Why not find a drug with a future?
 
You must be very bored to continue using a drug that you admitted was unpleasant, not sure though.

Maybe ypu rather feel something time consumimg other than sobreity? I can understand, hypnotics are interesting but so are our minds. With some creativity you can achieve hallucinations similar to diphenhydramine, but I digress.

700 mgs for your second time sounds like a bit much, don't you think? Consuming that many will impair your cognition and memory to a point where you'd forget you took the damn pills in the first place leaving you manic and confused. The sedation is also very unpleasant.

I've read enough reports and done it countless times to know it's just terrible recreational wise.

Not to mention the aftermath it leaves your body, especially your heart (even dextromethorphan is easier on your heart) and you only get one.

Basically, I strongly advise against using it.

To each their own though.

Yea, should i take 500mg instead? I am bored as hell this weekend.
 
Hookie, girl.. Drop this drug. You are taking toxic doses of something that at best will give you a confused nightmare. It has nothing to do with "getting psychedelic" and everything with "getting poisoned". Its very bad for you and the high sucks.

If you are bored.. Beer! Weed!

If you actually wat to trip there is much better stuff out there. Stuff that isnt poisonous and which can give you wonderful experiences cheaply.

If you stick with DPH either of two things is gonna happen, either you end up at the ER with symptoms so bad even your parents are worried sick or you get caught by the cops running down the street naked with a cucumber sticking halfway out your ass.

Its a toxic deliriant, that means that you will be poisoned, and while you are poisoned you are temporarily insane. Thats not something you'd want.

This weekend, beer and weed. And before and after that, study what you want and how to get it.

How old are you by the way?
