"The doctor ordered 50 cc of Benadryl when I was in the ER for a bad breakout of eczema, among other things. As soon as the medicine got in my veins, I was useless! My mouth got instantly dry, I couldn’t speak anyway. It felt like it does when they put you to sleep. I was out for 3 hours in the ER! I received a couple of phone calls while I was there and didn’t remember them after. Luckily, I didn’t drive myself there, but I felt strange the rest of the day. It definitely stopped the itching because I wasn’t awake to feel it!!"

Diphenhydramine "These blister packs are insanely hard to open! I don't get it! Child-safe is one thing, making it hard for an adult is another. I'll never buy these again just to protest."

"I have 2nd degree sunburns, sun blisters all over my body, not a fun time. I haven't been able to sleep for a week. Burns are now starting to go away after 4 or 5 days of bad pain, and the itching is going crazy. Took two pills, within 15 minutes, the itching is gone. Within 30 minutes, I'm out cold. Wake up 3 hours later, make dinner, and in due time, ready to take the next dosage. Makes me feel extremely tired, so I go to bed, woke up 11 hours earlier. Such a lifesaver, just improved my sleep amount from 5 to 11 hours. Thank you, modern medicine!"
