first time taking diphenhydramine 250mg, to much?

[onlyone3232]

ive had really bad insomnia for the last few days & i ran out of my script for zyprexa which i usually take 5-10mg.
Ive had phenergan before. I used to take 75mg per night I think it was & i enjoyeed how it helped me get to sleep

I dont know how much dph would be equivelent to 75mg of prometazine but im assuming about 100mg-150mg. Does anyone know?

anyways ive had bad experienced with taking to many downers beore. Ive always been able to handle any amount of benzos ive taken. even after ive had drinks.
but i onnce I took like 50mg (i think that was the dose) of ambian & when i woke up the next day couldnt remember if i had been dreaming or actually was using my computer.

i wont take more the the prescribed dose of ambian if i get it again. it was so strange.

anyways. i havnt slept well in like a week & bought a pack of 10 50mg diphenhydramine pills.

I started with 2 waited an hr took another 2 & have now popped an extra on top of that. so 250mg.

I know I should have been patient. Do u think i'll hve any releif from my insomnia or will I start tripping in a bad way soon.

shoudl I be concerned about the dose ive taken. what should I expect. btw ive had 40mg of oxy today a very small amount of pot.

I should asked a good dose for insomnia on here before taking so many. im just so desperate to feel tired enouigh to lay down peacefully..

i took my first ones a little over an hr ago. might try to lay down now. Does anyone know how long dph takes to peak. cuz so fair im not feeling anything & my whole idea was to get some sedation

I don't know how it compares with those other meds or how it will interact with oxy but 250 mg of DPH on its own is a low "recreational" dose--enough to no longer feel sober but not enough to trip out. When I was experimenting with that stuff, I found doses in that range to be pleasant: a body buzz that may or may not be enjoyable depending on your preference (limbs feels heavy), enhanced musical appreciation and a bit of giddiness. I topped out at 650 mg, which is where I started to see shit that wasn't there. Also gave me one of the worst hangovers of my life.

Edit: These other dudes are probably right, I was attempting to use it for its hallucinogenic properties at sufficiently high doses, not to get sleep. FYI, it may have some dissociative qualities but it's primarily a deliriant.

250mg is way too much.

I wouldn't take any more than 75-100mg. Ever.

I stop at 50mg, and that's it. If it's not working then, time for a new substance to achieve the desired effect.

Diphenhydramine (benadryl) is a very common OTC anti-histamine, mostly for allergies but is also sold as a sleep aid too. DPH is a dissosiative meaning, the higher the dose, the more likely you are to get very wierd thoughts, visions and flat out start loosing touch with the world and it is very uncomfortable.

If your reaching the 100mg range DPH is more likely to keep you up and uncomfortable then asleep. It is above any recommended dosage and I can also speak from personal experience. Your better off taking 50mg and mixing it with something else (benzo, alcohol, etc...) if it's not enough.
