Health - Diphenhydramine addicting?

[Orchid_Suspiria]

Now while it might not be physically addictive..this substance is far more addicting than some might reallize.For one it has sedative effects and that alone gives it a potential for addiction.Swim for about one whole year mainly abused nothing but diphenhydramine and would get headaches and not be able to sleep when use was discontinued.For the past three months,swim has often had his opiate supply cut off and has used huge amounts of diphenhydramine and has found he is now unable to sleep without it again.

It takes a huge amount for swim to actually trip with it now.He just has that sort of odd buzz,is forgetful and thinks odd thoughts,and feels somewhat drowsy.The high is short lasting and swim feels depressed afterwards.He will often take rather high doses of it atleast three times a day.Has anyone else got a diphenhydramine habit to this extent?
