Diphenhydramine - New Experience - Terrifying, but very interesting

Personally; I think 300-500mg is a great starter dose if you desire some small-moderate visuals. Keep experimenting with that, and develop a feel for the effects. Sometimes you'll hate them; but, sometimes you'll love them. I'm very tempted in giving Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine/Gravol) a shot. I've read that it's trip effects are very similar to the Diphenhydramine HCl trip effects. I wonder if the physically negative side effects from it are as bad. I do know that Dimenhydrinate can cause temporary/long-term schizophrenia when taken in large doses. 1000mg of the stuff seems to do that pretty well I believe. Perhaps it'd be best if we stuck with Dextromethorphan HBr as our over the counter recreational drug, but where would the fun be in that? Flirting with disaster is very thrilling. %)
 
DPH can be a pure glimpse of HELL. It is probably the strangest drug I've ever used. I had to be hospitalized on just 350mg of the shit and I was freaking. My heart rate was above 180 AFTER taking a benzo to slow shit down. Definitely among the most disturbing and hellish experiences of my life.

But hey, if that's what you wanna do, go for it. That's what freedom is, essentially. Different strokes for different folks man, but I probably won't touch that shit again.

I don't blame you; the DPH experience can be very terrifying. I'm not going to lie; I get really scared on the stuff sometimes. I've often found myself on the verge of panicking, and possibly being hospitalized myself. It's definitely a very easy thing to happen. Trust me; when you see a giant spider half the size of your fist crawling up your shirt, and then you feel its legs on the skin of your neck as he begins crawling on it... you will definitely want to scream. I know I felt like screaming, but yeah man... it can be really fun if you don't mind the fear/paranoia that's associated with the experience; because, that's what the DPH trip is all about. It's about living a horror movie within reality, and being scared beyond comfort. I find that telling myself the hallucinations aren't real can be a bad thing to do. For some odd reason; telling myself that what I'm seeing isn't real seems to make them appear even more realistic to me; it's as if the delusions are trying to prove themselves to me, and to deceive me into believing that they are indeed... real. I'd like to give DPH another go sometime soon.
 
Man the thought of a diph experience freaks me out but its so tempting to try. I've been doing 150mg as a sleep aid recently; it's at a high enough dose where I can notice that I'm just on the verge of experiencing mild hallucinations...but not quite there yet. Haha anyway, crazy trip report.
 
You had a boring generic lame trip, go for either 750-900 thats when your mind really goes into a bizarre land.

Just don't touch the shit to often, when I was 16 I used to buzz off DPH everyday with a few t-breaks for a couple months straight. From then-on my memory is completely shot to shit and I feel like I dropped 5 points of my IQ. Cool everyonce in awhile though.
 
I'd take your advice, but you haven't even given me any details on why 750-900mg is so much better than 600mg. What makes it better? I'd like to know. I've read dozens of trip reports; if not then at least one hundred of them, and from my knowledge; as the dosage goes past 700mg; people tend to have very harsh side-effects like seizures/convulsions, panic attacks, terrifying experiences, and I've even read up on some people who have foamed out of the mouth, and/or cough up blood before. It doesn't sound worth playing around with. I may try 700mg out; because, it's the highest dosage on the erowid.org dosage page for it. Anything higher than that seems like a flirt with death. Please let me know your thoughts on the matter.
