Dose - First Time Benadryl (Diphenhydramine)

[Phungushead]

If they're 25mg pills, I would start out with around 12 of them
(300mg). That'll give some effects, but you'll still be in pretty
good control at this dose. Dosage goes up from there, and the
higher you go, the weirder it gets.



When I tried Benadryl, I didn't have a problem with my stomach at all
so the ginger may be unnecessary... but if they want to, I don't see
how it can hurt.

[vacant]

12 sounds about right for 25mg. If your 'friend' is a lightweight than perhaps try 8-10, then if that doesn't work, then try 12 in a couple of weeks. 12 pills can be too much for some people, and for some, too little. Just be careful, I've heard it can be quite scary for some people.

I tried it twice, 10 the first time, and 12 the second. Neither worked for me, so I'll be elevating that amount sometime next week. I'm thoroughly intrigued by diphenhydramine's effects.

[Nahbus]

I've taken 7 once. Wasn't intense, just some patterns and whatnot. But
I also discovered that I get bad reactions from this drug. It makes me
want to rip my skin off afterwards, so be VERY careful.

[Phungushead]

Okay, here's what 12 pills (300mg) did for me effects-wise (I am 110lbs):

Onset was about an hour and a half if I remember right... to me, this
is another drug where the onset kind of sneaks up on you (like one
minute you're sitting there and the next you're lost in thought).
DXM does that to me as well. So anyways...

-Weird body sensations. When I tried to get up and move around, my legs
felt like they had 50lb weights strapped to them.

-Annoying mental state. I was really, really tired yet sleeping
was impossible. I felt like I was stoned out of my mind.
And I was very paranoid. For some reason, I remember being very
afraid to look in a mirror (I've heard some bad stories about that), or
go near the basement stairs.

-Extreme irritability. I once took 300mg with a friend... there
would be times I felt like just punching him one, for no good reason at
all.

-Music sounded weird, not necessarily "better" but kind of metallic, if you
catch my drift.

-A fair amount of aural hallucinations, nothing too intense, but a lot
of non-understandable whispers. Kind of like what you'd hear in a
horror-type video game or something.

-Minor visual distortions. Nothing like acid or shrooms or
whatever, but for example when I looked at something on the computer,
the text was all double-vision like.

-One major visual hallucination. I was all sitting on the couch,
kind of lost in thought. My mind was playing me a story... I was
at a party with a bunch of people I know (in reality I was alone), and
all of a sudden I saw this dude I worked with in the room adjusting the
stereo.

STUPID MISTAKE #1: Using this shit alone... I think it would be a good
idea to have a sober sitter, especially at high doses... read some
high-dose trip reports and you'll see what I mean.

All this was enough to experience what the drug did, without going
totally nuts. I was still aware I was on the drug (at higher
doses you usually won't)... I have only done it a few times, and I
don't really like it or dislike it. The effects (primarily the
hallucinations) are both fascinating and terrifying. I am glad I
got an interesting experience, but I don't know if I'll ever do it
again.

I've only taken Benadryl once and it was very bad (the only drug I will for sure never try again). I took the whole box (Is it 24? I think they were gel caps). It took about 2 hours for the effets to fully kick in. Started seeing visuals like I do on DXM and it was sooo hard to move I felt like I was 300lbs. I was on my knees or grabbing onto walls/chairs ect anytime I had to move. About 5 hours after taking it I knew I shouldn't of taken so many. I felt crappy, couldn't sleep even tho I wanted to, was seeing shit everywhere, (the visuals weren't so bad but I was REALLY in a werid state of mind and I saw about 5-10 open-eye visuals of people. I had no idea they weren't there sometimes for 30secs to 1min... I'm pretty sure I woke my mom up at 5am cuz I was yelling at "my friend" or so I thought.), my whole body hurt/felt heavy, and I couldn't think stright I was out of it and just wanted it to end. Anyway I took the pills around midnight and I was still tripping till about 10am-11am (I saw my g/f in the shower after I got out of it and she wouldn't respond to me talking to her... It's hard to explain how messed up I was but this might help. It was about 9:30am my g/f was at her house, has no way to get here, and lives 15 miles away. But I didn't think her being in my shower was werid at all, I just thought it was werid she wouldn't awsner me.) I felt horrible the rest of the day but didn't see anything after 10:30am when I was driving to court, I think there was a man on the side of the road that was really a mailbox.(witch by the way sucked I was out of it and very very scared I was still gonna see stuff or something). Never gonna do it again. I know not everyone has a bad trip like this and some people prolly even like it but I just wanted to post to let everyone know what happened to me. (If your gonna do it please don't take the whole box all at once lol)

how often can one trip off benadryl? does a tolerance build up? how bad
is it for you. i know acetaminophen is hella bad for you and other
stuff. but these ones i got the only active ingredient is
Diphenhydramine and it doesnt even contain acetaminophen as an inactive
ingredient.

[unico_walker]

Anti-cholinergics are poisons, the recreational dose gets close to a
toxic dose. Benadryl and datura are basically the same experience but
benadryl is safer because you know how much you're getting so its
harder to seriously OD.

[Phungushead]

The LD50 (lethal) of diphenhydramine is 500mg/kg in rats (so probably a
lot lower in humans); and that is a shitload of pills (using that data,
that would equal 25,000mg; 1,000 25mg pills; 41.6 24ct boxes for me -
yuck!). Anyway, you'd probably go legally insane way before this
point... read some trip reports; there are some really crazy ones where
people have gone nuts at 600mg or less. A common mistake a lot of
people make is to take 300mg (1/2 box), decide it that it isn't enough
(takes a while to kick in, and it kicks in gradually), so they take the
other 1/2 of the box... they got a big suprise. 400-700mg is
considered a heavy dose, according to Erowid.



I've heard about people getting mentally addicted to this stuff and
doing it weekly or more... I'm not sure about tolerance as I've only
done it 3 times or so, and they were spaced way apart. I would
think that regular high dose use wouldn't be that good for you though.

[polloloco001]

holy god that was intense. i did 300 mg and then 200 mg. next time im doing 500 at once. that shit was a fucking insane trip.

All deleirient hallucinogens are very toxic to my knowledge and should not be used with any frequency, if at all.

[Monoxide]

I tried this and i took the whole box and thought it wasnt enough and
took 6 more pills...For sure ill never do this drug again EVER...I felt
like i was 300lbs like everyone else and couldnt move so i sat on my
porch and thats when the visuals started kicking in, I looked at this
tree and saw a huge horseshoe it didnt scare me at all i jsut kept
looking at it because it was so cool then the creepy hallucinations
started i looked voer at a shadow from a tree and it turned into a
person with a black cape, then back intoa shadow is was really creepy
then the same shadow jsut the top turned into a head sticking out of
the ground and it was wierd looking like it had a mo hawk and long
tounge and it really scared me so then about 15 mins later a car pulled
in my drive way it was the people who lived upstars and they had a kid,
Well the kid was looking at me then his face turned into this creepy
looking face kinda like a weird horror movie doll but thats what scared
me to go inside so i sat in my room and layed down but i couldnt sleep
because everytime i layed down it felt like i had to move my legs or id
want to rip them off, So the back of my head starter to hrut so i went
and looked in the mirror and this is the creepiest part the back of my
head was missing like i could see in my head and there was no brains
jsut my skin melting off my skull and that scared the living shit otu
of me so i sjut went and watched The Crow to get my mind off things and
finally i fell asleep i woke up the next morning feeling like shti and
i didnt want to do anything but i can say this was the creepiest drug
ive done and im never doing it again.

[greyskylullaby]

okay so i just took 9 before reading this, and im a bit concerned since i just took 7 last night, and didnt have any effects so i am trying again, but do you think taking more tonight was a dangerous decision? well, lets hope all turns out well..

[Love_N_Bruises]

Sel Incrimination galore here people! READ THE RULES!

They are here...

http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/ann...t.php?f=43&a=1

Use SWIM (Someone Who Isn't Me) or something similar when discussing extra curricular activities: Who needs to know the SWIY takes allergy tablets to get high?

Bear in mind that not abiding by the rules here can and WILL get SWIY banned.

Thankyou!

[bluntmaster]

One day me and some of my friends were sitting around trying to find something to do. one of my friends, johnny said he tried Benadryl and saw two of his friends at his house.Neither was real.
So we decided to buy a bunch of it. I took thirty cause im a big guy and each of my friends took 20. Thats when shit got scary. I kept thinking four or five of my friends were around and that my walls were talking to me. The music was telling me to "kill them, KILL THEM, KILL THEM". I was so fuckin scared and my throat started to swell from the massive antihistamine dose. Never fucking try it. Scariest shit ever.

read the rules and don't incriminate yourself

[Akewstick]

SWIM read somewhere respectable that Diphenhydramine stopped you getting an upset stomach, so SWIY could take as much as he wants without getting problems with stomach ache or such-like

[marijuanakicksass]

I was wondering if Diphenhydramine or Dimenhydrinate causes permanent brain damage? Ive Dramamine twice and diphenhydramine 4 times.

[Akewstick]

probably not as much as worrying about stuff like this

[desolated000]

All 12 pills did was make swim hear things really, pretty interesting acually. Kinda scary if you think about it. But 12 is a good starting point, swim would go as high as 18 but not the first trip.

[Akewstick]

To clarify, DIphenhydramine is an anti-emetic, ie it STOPS you being sick, it's sometimes used as a substitue for ginger, so yes, ginger + benadryl is pointless.

[tobias12]

SWIM took 8 last night.. SWIM felt different in the head but saw/heard no hallucinations... SWIM will probably wait a few days at least before attempting more, hopefully with a better result because 8 really isnt worth it...

[neuttro]

Try ambien, 2 10 mg pills will trip you very close to an acid trip, and is fun, and never feel sick the next day! Try it, is not OTC, but you can tell your doctor to prescribe you this beautiful drug! (and yes, it beat weed!)

[neuttro]

^


I mean 2 tablets of 10 mg, (NOT 210mg!!).... 20mg to be exact! If you are experienced with the drug, 30mg its fun to, but try to no exceed id!

[als5555]

for your first time with anything, benadryl is probably a little intense. the hallucinations are very real, even if what you're seeing isn't. i might start with xanax or dxm, then dramamine, then benadryl. i got an injection of benadryl from my doctor for an alergic reaction to an antibiotic. mmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn does an injection make you tired, much more tired then the pills or syrup. stay with the pills, they make you the least tired

[vacant]

Okay, I'd just like to say to start out really small and mive up, if anyone still wants to try it.

I tried it last night and did successfully hallucinate, for my first time (with any hallucinogen). I had taken 15 pills, or 375mg. I think it took 1 to 1 1/2 hours to set in. After that it's a little vague, but I do remember losing motor control, even though I seriously thought I could walk straight (walking into a wall 1 foot away from the door is not straight). I sort of remember seeing little things, like things that are in the floor, matching it. Several times I thought I saw my cat, but within the second it wasn't there. For some reason, this didn't phase me, even though I've never hallucinated. I soon realized I could not sit still! I kept feeling the need to go the bathroom (I think that was my excuse to get up and walk around).
It was such an odd body load. When I finally decided I had enough (not even waiting for the peak), I tried to sleep, but I kept needing to jump up and kick and move. I just wanted it to end, yet it wasn't bad per se, just very, very odd.
The whole time, unfortuately, I felt like I was going insane. NOT a good feeling.
Diphenhydramine is a antihistamine, and, apparently and deliriogenic drug.
Just be careful.
