This happened in september.

And you guys probably thought as you read the title "What a fucking retard."

Well I didnt take it all at once. The first dose I took was about 250mg (Or 10 benadryls) and 30 minutes went by and I didnt feel a damn thing. So I took ten more and I didnt feel anything. So I kept going up and up... and before I even knew it I blacked out.

Everything that happened that night I can only remember in blocks and heres the order it went in.

1) (I reckon this is when it started) Sitting on my computer listening to At The Drive In- One Arm Scissor.. The music sounded completely different, yet the same, I could hear a song inside the song. I also noticed that the guitar sounded really fucking cheap (thats the only way I can explain it.
2) (This is according to my mom) I bump into something in the living room, waking her up. She comes out and tells me to go to bed. She walks me into my room and watches me lay down and close my eyes.

What I remember is he attacking me, nagging me saying "Whats wrong? Whats wrong with you?" and me being horrified, I tell her "nothing, go back to sleep". I do remember lying down, but something got caught in my mind waking me up so I went into the living room.

3) I walk into my parents room, with what I think is a cat (atleast this is what my memory says) and throw it at her while shes sleeping. She asks me what the hell is wrong with me, and I tell her theres a party going on in the backyard (and this must of happened in a blackout period) and that some people are going to stop by and pick the computer up. She completely freaks out thinking I have either lost my mind or I am very sick. She starts asking me again what is wrong. I tell her to fuck off and mind her own bussiness.

4) she tells me to get ready to go to the hospital. I say I dont want to go, but I get ready anyways. I put on my shoes (Read the end and something interesting will happen with the shoes.) get into the car and off we go.

5) I can barely remember, but I do remember walking into the E.R, sitting down and talking to the doctors/nurses. What I remember is the nurse guys face morphing every so often (Id say every 5 minutes, but the time frame was really fucked up.). He asked me about my drug use, and I told them I smoked pot everyday, shot heroin and smoked meth..... all not true, but the dumb fuckers believed me (would you believe someone who is tripping out of there mind?). I did however tell them about how my friend is a major marijuana trafficker (they didnt believe this, yet they believed everything else.)

6) I remember them sticking the IV's into my arm. and I remember them making me drink liquid charcoal, I couldnt get it down, and i puked it all over the hospital room. and now is when long black out periods started. (Apparently I was in a coma, who the fuck knows)

7) I remember repeatedly trying to get off of my hospital bed, but was hindered by the IV's and EKG equipment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

End: The most vivid memories I have is off being able to look out the windows across the room, and seeing the fiery sunrise, Well, there werent any windows in the hospital, none what so ever. Another is classmates from my school laying on the side of my bed.

If I didnt go to the hospital (and had I stopped at say, 27 pills) it would of been wonderful. Hell I wouldnt mind going to the hospital and being hooked up to the IV's, but the charcoal made the experience nasty.

Oh and the shoe thing. When I was leaving the hospital, I didnt have shoes, I asked my mom where my shoes were, and apparently I didnt put them on because the shoelaces were snakes, so I didnt wear them. But in my mind I vividly remember putting my shoes on and having them on when I left the house, and walked into the E.R.

Nothing bad happened to me health wise, and nothing bad happened mentally... but now Liquid charcoal is my enemy.


Moderator's Note:

Taking 1.6 grams of Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) could be fatal. Furthermore, it is difficult to comprehend reality or control one's behavior during deleriant trips. Taking a high dose of this chemical is quite irresponsible.

Hahaha.. I dont think I need to say anything negative myself, others will cover that part.. but hey, it was fun to read. thanks =D

[edited title to fit guidelines. actually.. changed it]
 
most intresting read, Id call you stupid but Ive done stupider, case and point, did you just trip on a chemical that is typically labeled a sleep aid or am I thinking of something else?
 
Why do so many people take drugs, and then after 30 minutes of not feeling anything, decide to take a lot more because they're convinced it isn't going to work? There are very few drugs that start working in only 30 minutes. Some take 2 hours or more.

Don't ever give this guy DOC... or most any psychedelic, for that matter.
 
Note that I didn't mean you shouldn't ever take any psychedelics, Vi(odin. Just that you need to be more responsible about it first. I think a psychedelic experience could benefit you if approached correctly, as it did me.
 
how detached you are from the consquences which will result from your actions. Almost like your not you but someone else peering out the eyes of a human being that took 65 Benadryls
 
It is somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine...reading the reports about deliriant substances. I find you can learn from psychedelics and disassociatives, more so with the former and perhaps the latter if you know how to use them right, but deliriants are just complete insanity.

As far as diphenhydramine goes...I take 50mg and I'm asleep for 12 hours with rather dark, morbid dreams... I don't see why anyone would want to try using this recreationally, but hey I can't make too much fun of it... I almost tried datura myself before reading about it.

anecdotally, i can think of plenty of people who took psychedelics when in hindsight, could have afforded a bit more care and understanding before they did. typically they learned the hard way, but i have to say, the hard way isn't always the worst way.

I need add no more!
 
that image you describe of the fiery sun through the non-existant hospital windows sounds awesome.
but you're still an idiot.

nice way of putting it.
 
The moral of the story is use real drugs if your looking to get fucked.
 
I'm fucking speechless. I admit to doing lots of stupid shit with drugs, but what the fuck, there are so many threads and experiences posted about doses of benadryl WAY lower than this.
 
I'm not going to bother bitching at you, since I can see everyone else has already done so ;) Before you go trying anything else though, I'd definitely do some reading up on the drug.
