Late Saturday night I took 625mg of benadryl and .5mg of klonapin. I weigh 125lb. The thing that has been bothering me is that my pupils have been dilated since then. Also earlier in the week on Tuesday night I took 325mg.

Should I be worried about this?

And for the record I feel really fucking stupid for doing this. :o
 
One time I took about that much, I was fine besides the fact that I felt like a dumbass for even do that to begin with... If you continue tohave side effects I would see someone about it because that is a very high dose of benadryl
 
If the only thing bothering you is your pupils, why would you think that you overdosed? It sounds like there's nothing wrong with you

The initial argument that makes you take that much: It's cheap, it's already in the house, I can't get any real drugs, ect.

And the first time I did it, I actually enjoyed it. Go figure.

Better safe than sorry? (I know that sounds stupid coming from the kid who went and took that much benadryl.) What I did was stupid. I knew it was a stupid thing to do to begin with. At this point I just wanted to make sure that I'm going to be ok(time will tell) and if I should do anything about it.
 
IMO Benadryl is good for one thing, to potentiate opiads...even then never go near 600 mg. Don't worry about your pupils they're gonna be fine.
 
I was in a car when I took mine and i drank robotussin with it too i got hot as fuck and started tripping out and thought i was going to throw up it was crazy i would never do that again that was like 3 or 4 years ago i went with my friends up to delaware to get cigarettes and took madd benadryl for some reason haha it was a dumb idea i dont recommend it at all

Pretty much.

The first time when I took 325mg I had an enjoyable trip. I knew going into it that the majority of people who try this have a miserable experience. I hallucinated a spider that was about the size of my fist and it was as real as anything else in the room. I could constantly hear what sounded like tiny whispers although I could not make out what they were saying. I do recall responding do the voices a couple times. The best part was the walls. For the first few seconds of staring at the wall it would appear to be melting. Then it would begin to change into this beautiful swirling mist.

The second time didn't go near as well. I took 300mg and over a period of about an hour would take 325mg more in increments. The time before I had felt a little odd and then it completely hit me. So I was expecting something similar. I did feel kind of nice for a little portion of the time. And I do remember hallucinating some sort of silverfish looking thing on my wall. But that was about it. The next day I felt really nauseated.
 
every time i take benadryl just for sleep lately i get something like restless leg syndrome i think, except it's more with my arm. it seems to happen with 50-100mg doses and i even noticed it slightly with just one pill. i know i can't just be imagining it because it gets so annoying i can't sleep at all unless i drink or something to stop it. does anyone know why this happens and has it ever happened to you?

Not with Diphenhydramine, but yer dead on with what happens to me when I take too much Promethazine. It's fucked!
Like extreme tension in my arms that won't go away. And the only way to get rid of it even slightly is to extend your arms. Does that sound similar?
It's more likely to happen with drugs in the Phenothiazine class (a lot of Antipsychotics like Chlorpromazine for example) and I'm guessing it has something in common with Tardive Dyskinesia or Neuroleptic malignant syndrome, but obviously not as severe..

I seriously doubt it was anything like neuroleptic malignant syndrome. This rare condition caused by some antipychotics is a very serious condition where you would have other more distressing symptoms instead. Trust me, it wouldn't manifest itself as just some tension in your arms.

For some odd reason many people have very similar hallucinations whilst under the influence of delieriants. Seeing spiders and imaginary cigarettes are probably the two most common things that people see.
