Diphenhydramine (1625mg) - New Experience - Dangerous. Do not dose this high.

What's all the hating about?

I can honestly say that my most rewarding (as far as learning something + taking it over into real life) experience i have had was off of diphenhydramine..

OK.. maybe not.. MDMA.. but i still got a terrifying lesson which i do not regret learnin from diphenhydramine.
 
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.

I would have been fucking grounded.
 
So how is being dead.

65 Benadryl tablets would kill you.


taking that many tablets certainly can kill you but it's not a guarenteed death or anything. it would more likely kill someone in poor health, but even a perfectly health person could die from taking less.

when i was withdrawing from opiates a few years back i had no benzo's or barbituates to ease the discomfort. someone told me to take 3-6 benadryl but no more then 6. so i ended up doing what the original poster did. i took 10 right off the bat because i felt like shit. felt a tiny bit better bout an hour later then i took another 20 without even thinking about it.

i took 30 in a one hour period and i was no where close to death. for about an hour i felt better physically, but worse mentally because i was in some really strange "trip"

it wasn't a very strong trip or anything but it was very very unpleasent. anyway i'm just saying that taking a dose that high will not automatically kill you, it just greatly increases the chances of death lol. so dont be to quick to call bullshit on the poster.

PS to everyone:

alot of people have been talking about doing thier homework on a drug before they try it so i'll throw in my 2 cents. i've dont really stupid things and bad drug combo's before and had to learn the hard way. but with drugs like acid,mdma, ketamine or whatever i got as much info as i could about the drugs before taking them. so lucky me i havent had any horrible experiences with those. the reason i did so much research on those drugs is because of the horrible past experiences i had in the past playing mad-scientist. so i remember how that felt to be in a really shitty overdose. so live and learn i guess!!!
