So, I had an entire day to kill, but had to remain in just one room (long story). Anyhow, I spot a bottle of diphenhydramine. It was an unopened bottle of 100 25 mg tablets. I said "fuck it" for no particular reason, and wanted to alleviate my bordome with something interesting. I didn't want to be completely gone, but wanted to get a good taste of the diphenhydramine delirium. I decided to take 10 tablets, and so I did.
The first thing I didn't expect was how quick it kicked in or seemed to kick in. I am not sure how long it was before it kicked in, but wasn't too long. I did have an empty stomach, though. It did make me feel a bit odd, but not odd like I might feel on a dissociative, just weird. It didn't really cause any dysphoria, and there was no misery at any point in the trip. This surprised me, because I had heard of the typical very unpleasant nature of diphenhydramine experiences. Now, it didn't really induce euphoria, but the experience overall was quite the way to pass the day. I slipped in and out of a fairly thick delirium, in which I talked to people who weren't there, and thought I was somewhere else, and often was confused, but not unpleasantly confused, just simply quite confused. I could bring myself out of the delirium with some effort or outside stimulus and manage to think fairly well and ground myself with no delusions. It was what I would call a reversible delirium, but a delirium no less. Of course I saw the infamous diphenhydramine spiders, but not too many. The hallucinations which I saw while in the actual delirium were quite convincing, though my right mind wasn't there to say it didn't make sense, it just was. As I said I held conversations with people who weren't there, thought things were happening around me that weren't, just became really stupified. Like I said though, at this dosage the delirium seemed managable in the sense that I could snap out of it and function, though still feeling odd, and having fleeting hallucinations.
What really surprised me about this experience was the quick onset, the lack of dysphoria, and the lack of paranoia/fear/worry. It made me feel weird in a very weird way that didn't seem to bother me at all. The whole thing was odd, but the novelty of the experience was fun. Diphenhydramine used to scare me, and never tried up until a few weeks ago, and I am glad I did. It really was different. I would do it again. And these are the last words you might think I would say after a diphenhydramine experience, but it was fun in its weird way. Of course, I only took 250 mg, perhaps a higher dose would push me farther into the delirium.
BTW: I do take Xanax daily, so that could have had to do with the lack of anxiety. I doubt it though.
