So lately I have been doing some reading on trying Diphenhydramine. Hallucinations, delirium, sounds that dont exist. Cool stuff. For me, I find it interesting. Most people say it sucks but i'd give it a shot anyway.

Went and got 400mg of it via offbrand unisom tabs. 50mg a pill, 8 in the box.

Now I weigh probably 215lbs, so I know things take some more to work. I figured 400 would be a great first dose. Lots of people reported crazy shit at like 300 so I figured that made sense to try 400.

Well I take it all in at about 10 PM.

T+ 0:45
I can feel a little tingly action. Things just seem more vivid, like everything I look at seems more bold and interesting.

T+ 1:00
My balance is off and im bumping into things pretty much all the time.

T+ 1:30
Now vision is blurring and some things are distorting.

I start to hear an audible thing that I am pretty sure didnt exist. It sounded like some pots in the kitchen banging together.

First time I heard it I thought maybe someone was downstairs, but nobody was. Heard the exact same noise 3 more times.

T+ 2:00
I havent seen anything. No hallucinations. Not much else seems to be happening. Im tired too. Very tired.

I end up falling asleep.

T+ 6:00 (4AM)
I wake up, dont feel bad. Drymouth, thats about it. Still a little weird to walk. Make my way to the bathroom and drink some water.

I would wake up a couple more times in the night, but found it easy to return to sleep. I ended up finally waking up at 10:30 am, and that was that. I feel pretty good.

So do I need to up the dosage to get some funky stuff going on? Or did I fall asleep too soon? Any advice?

Nope no itchies....

Got the shakes in the hands a little. Just a couple times. It was fucking freezing in my room though so I chalked it up to that.

I threw down a Monster energy drink beforehand too. I really wanted to stay up. But then like we were 2 hours post dosing and I really was not getting anything crazy going so I figured must not be working.

I'll try again this weekend for sure.
 
hahaha you really cant expect to hallucinate and be in a state of delerium if your asleep, just dont go anywhere near your bedroom, and dont looka t the clock.
and dont say that you didnt get anything, you had blurred vision and a loss of coordination, so you had SOMEthing, just not the delerium you wanted
next tiem, whatever you do DONT sleep.
 
another thing, you aren't going to begin to feel anything until at least 3-6 hours in, the come-up itself takes all of at least 1-2 hours. i got a little shaky when i did it too, it's normal. try a higher dose, and do it before sundown, that will make your body feel less tired.
 
Ok well from what I've gathered then the initial come up was simply longer than I expected...

Honestly to everyone saying DONT, have an open mind here. I am not looking to do this for "fun"

I am looking to do this for the experience. To simply see what my mind will do and come up with. I personally understand Delerium is not exactly "fun" and it is not really meant to be.

But a psychonaut I am! And I want to see what my personal brain will do when unlocked.

I believe any drug, whether recreational or introspective or simply weird can be used properly. We only use a very small percentage of our brains normally, i'd just like to try and check out a few of the other percentages.
 
opposite for me, when I took a high dose..I was awake in a half drowsy state..unable to fall asleep. The most uncomfortable feeling surging through my body. Seeing ants and worms crawling up my arm. Eatting tic tacs that does not exist. Wishing I didnt take it. Hell for 4 hours Id tell you that
