So let me start off by saying that I have been a cautious and often times not so cautious polly substance user. I have never really been stuck on one drug like many addicts are. For two years I was a daily kratom user that's the worst physical and psychological addiction I've had. It's about 6 months since I last touched kratom and I don't plan on taking it again. The physical withdrawals and dent in my wallet is enough insensitive to stay away from it.

I've used hundreds of substances it seems like. Im was diagnosed ADHD at 17 and have taken Adderall ever since with a few month breaks hear and there. Im 22 now and I've been diagnosed bipolar type 2 (meaning I get very intense bouts of crippling depression and none of the fun manic symptoms bipolar people describe) I've used mescaline, lsd, dmt, 2ci,25I-Nbome, mushrooms, coke, meth, ecstasy, mdma, heroin, mdpv, apvp, kratom, 4mec, prozac, Paxil, wellbutrin, clonadine, buspirone, zoloft, xans, lsa, DXM, diphenhydramine, doxylamine the list goes on. I've been on drugs for about 5 years now and im settling down a bit more. I don't abuse my Adderall like I used to I take zyprexa, clonazapam, and effexor daily.

Let me get to the meat of this report. Im not enjoying writing about this experience because it was such a utterly dirty, Lonely, confusing, and cheap high.

At about 10 pm after dinner I dosed 50 25mg of generic diphenhydramine. I watched tv for about 30 minutes before it took hold. It started very pleasantly. My body sort of just melted into my bed, my eyes grew heavy but I fought the urge to sleep. From this point on its hard to say what exactly happened. I remember haveing two beers and blacking out for two hours. I woke up standing in a huge pile of all my clothes. I must have ripped them all down from the closet for no good reason. This visuals were intense and horrifying. I remember looking out my window and seeing the entire lawn turn to quick sand gobbling everything up. A tree of spiders grew and morphed out of my chest and up to the ceiling.

I had to pee at some point during the night and when I did it hurt really bad a bad stinging sensation. When I looked down at the toilet, cracks would appear and disappear. I would talk for about five minutes to myself and then snap out of it and think to my "Its only the drug, your grandma isn't here" but I would end up in more bizarre conversations with people who I thought were there.

I couldnt sleep no matter how hard I tried I couldnt sleep. At some point in the night I decided to cut a huge chunk of my own hair out. I have shoulder length hair and was so horrified when I came to a few hours later I just wanted to cry. But what's funny about this drug is that you are virtually emotionless when high on it. Even though I looked like a chainsaw had been used to cut my hair I wasn't really phased by it till I came down. When 6 am rolled around I was still having visuals but was able to control the urge to talk to the voices in my head. I got dressed and drove to work. But why wasn't there anybody else there? I sat in my car for an hour waiting for my boss to arrive when I realized it was Saturday..... Goddammit....

I made it back home and managed to get 4 or so hours of sleep but when I woke up at 3 pm I was still having audio hallucinations.

I pulled myself together and went to the salon I get my hair cut at. I knew I couldnt be walking around with a huge chunk of hair missing my parents would know I was on something.... No this wasnt the time to get barraded about my hair... No just get it fixed. I told my Barber that I was drunk and lost a bet so I had to cut my hair. That stopped her annoying questions. Luckily she was able to make it look normal with taking only a few inches out. Im pissed because I was finally able to wear my hair in a bun and now I couldnt even get a hair tye to hold it up.

This trip was awful and anybody reading this don't think it shounds cool... It isn't it's greasy and Cheap, dirty and lonely bitch of a drug. I will never dose close to this high ever ever again. I do enjoy taking 150 mgs or so for sleep but for any other purpose especially tripping ; find another drug... Please.

Also diphenhydramine is dangerous because it cause amnesia via its action on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. One of the first times I took diphenhydramine - the first time I took it and actually experience its effects, ie delirium and not just a weird body feeling. I barely remember it. But I took about 800mg.

I walked to tops with my cousin's friend apparently. We bought a pizza. He told me about the Unisom sleep melts - which are diphenhydramine orally disintegrating tablets and I started eating the whole box on the way home (which eventually led to an overdose).

When we got back I took the digiorno out of the box, left it in the plastic, turned the oven on and put it in (still in the plastic) , then I got on the computer and for some reason I got on a sheet music site and told I'm was trying to look up how to evolve my ghastly into a vaporeon.

He then went upstairs and went to bed. He told me he woke up when he heard a crash and banging noise and came downstairs and saw me having a full-blown tonic-clonic seizure on the floor downstairs.

I remember falling and seizing, but I thought I was upstairs in my cousin's room. I remember thinking as I fell and began seizing that I told him "Don't worry it's okay I"M FINE!"

He went upstairs and told my aunt. And I went to the hospital. They thought I was on an illegal street drug. The doctor didn't even know that diphenhydramine was abusable or could cause delirium or seizures.

I eventually went home all delirious. My aunt brought me to my counseling appointment in the morning. I don't remember it. But apparently after, I had another intense bought of delirium, thought I left my phone in there, barged right into the back room, went into her office, dropped right on the floor, and had another full- blown seizure.

All-in-all, I ended up taking a total of 4000mgs that night and had to go to the ICU for 2 days and they almost put me in the psych ward until my cousin confirmed that I wasn't trying to commit suicide.

I only intended to take 800mg, but with the delirium, I kept forgetting I had already taken some, and kept taking more.
 
Damn man I can't imagine dosing more than what I did the other night let alone almost four times that much. Fuck. Glad you made it out alive. You're lucky.
 
im gonna read this properly later but stay away from that stuff bro esp at those doses stay safe
 
I didn't mean to. It caused amnesia, and I guess I kept forgetting I had already taken it... and I took more thinking I I didn't take it in the first place. I don't know why my friend let me...
 
I once took like 300mgs and the walls were moving and 2D people were in my room. Never again!
