i think its ok because of its accessability and for me its a great inspiration when i cant think of something to paint/draw
 
I've never really noticed inspiration coming from benadryl, I get sleepier on it. If I take it a couple days in a row I need to take more and restless leg syndrome starts appearing, which is pretty counterproductive when you want to sleep.
 
A good sleeping aide and an agent that really helped against the itch of scabies (our Dutch OTC antihistamines don't do that).
 
Drug with the most depressing subreddit / abuser base.

Fine when used sparingly up to 50mg.

Never had a worse trip than with high dose DPH.
i agree over 50mg if you are not wanting to sleep is not advised. 30-50mg is great if you want to nod out on opi's. Sometimes it seems to intesify the rush to more of a full body high but then other times seems to dull the rush.
 
If you're in a fucking awful mood and will do anything to feel different it's a tool. You just have to find your dose better to go start with 100 and go up in 25 or 50. You'll hit a dirty dissociated buzz where things don't bother you as much. But don't keep going. That's the way of madness ... And very uncomfortable dry madness where you can't piss or see right.
 
Benadryl has it's place but can get out of hand for people that have sleeping disorders, bi-polar, Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, hallucinations and delusions. Large doses of Benadryl absolutely causes hallucinations and delusions in these disorders and waking in the middle of night it becomes even worse. Not being able to tell if someone is asleep of not seeing things is not a good drug to take too much of.

Large doses of Vistaril PAM (hydroxyzine pamoate) does not cause the side effects Benadryl does. Vistaril PAM is a clean 1st gen anti-histamine IMO. I also think the OTC Benadryl is a dirty cheaper version compared to prescription version. diphenhydramine hydrochloride injection. at the ER does not feel dirty to me though...
 
^ You mean Hydroxyzine Pamote. I love this prescription, Clonidine, Ativan, Gabapentin with opioids. It is must to take all at once in my world.

Regular Hydroxyzine doesn't do squat. Hydroxyzine PAM 200-400mg will have someone sedated well.
 
The most unpleasant drug I have ever taken, made me hear voices and feel like I was dying, also it always gives me restless legs that makes me feel like im just straight up in opioid withdrawal.
Small doses of doxylamine can be nice though, especially with heavy kratom, opium, phenibut, disty, etc.
 
Disty... distillate? Wasn't sure. I think DPH has zero recreational value. Tried downing like 200mg when I was 18 and it was just utterly fucking terrible and I wanted to move and couldn't. I use this for allergies, though I guess I used to use it to potentiate Valium a bit, or when I'd be downing a bunch of Gabapentin, Phenibut, Kratom, Valium, etc. I'd maybe add 50mg DPH for good measure.

I don't really go crazy with drugs like that anymore though. I turned back into a total stoner, so I end up not really taking Valium much because I feel like it ends up taking away from some of the headier/trippy shit I like to smoke. Hell, I'd nearly completely tapered off unintentionally, but I still take Gabapentin pseudo-recreationally. I'm prescribed 1600mg a day just for anxiety, which is ridiculously high.

I recently didn't take it for 3 days because my script ran out thanks to me taking extra sometimes, so I had a nice little tolerance reset, came back and got high as fuuuuck lol. But yeah, fuck DPH, unless you're one of those freaky ass mofos who lurk around the ILoveDPH subreddit. Those fuckers are strange, sometimes I'll read around that place just to observe the people who actually like this shit

Oh yeah, guess I mean distillate should specify I basically just meant edibles, I just usually only use edibles in the form of eating little globs distillate so I just said that.
