Okay first some backround information. I weigh 160lbs Im 6ft tall and 17yrs old. I recently got my hands on some DPT but I have never tried any psychedelics before. So my friend suggested I try something less potent just as an introduction, Benadryl. He told me that at high doses the active ingrediant in Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) can cause hallucinations. He suggested I take 400-600mg and try and stay awake.

So needless to say I took his advice and went down to my local Walgreens and got a bottle of 25mg Benadryl went home and took 500mg at around 11:00pm. That was my first mistake.

12:00am- Starting to feel it kicking in, tried, heavyness in hands and feet, cotton mouth.

1:00am- Increase in the previous symptoms, breathing becoming shallow, music is very enjoyable.

1:30am- Loss of coridination, breathing is slightly labored now, muscels very relaxed, some auditory hallucinations, heart rythem is slightly irregular.

2:00am- From here on I couldnt write so this is all from memory. Breathing is hard I have to keep making sure I inhale and exhale. Increase in auditory hallucinations, lights seem to have some sort of aura, trouble walking and speaking, and heart beat is really irregular/skipping beats.

3:00am?- High level of anxiety, walking is almost immpossible, Heart beat is dangerously irregular, breathing is really labored.

**Passout**

Well there you go I wake up today at 12:00pm. My muscles are a little week and my brain feels like rubber.
Moral- Benadryl is not something to take recreationally, it is very dangerous and not fun at all.

Yeah, I can't fathom recommending someone take benadryl over DPT. Don't ever listen to your friends advice again.
 
I used to enjoy recreational diphenhydramine...then I had a bad trip, thought I was going to die from my heart somehow ceasing to beat, and since then if I take any antihistamine in normal dosages for sleep, I get chest pains and convince myself I'm dying. I'm a hypochondriac and I wish I'd never read how dangerous diph is when used recreationally, because now I imagine its killing me.

Moral: Anticholorgenics are dangerous shit.

You should just use dox to sleep it has way more sedative properties, and health ledger OD'd on that shit so unisom could probably use a helping hand.

edit: woops never mind I though you just meant diph not all antihistamines
