User Reviews for Benadryl oral

My Dr at Aurora Medical Center said to use this and Flonase and it works. My brother seems to think he is a Doctor instead of a laboror and says this is horrible and addictive medicine. It seems to work fine for me.

Benedryl really helps with my knee pain and Swelling. Hard to believe but it really works.

I have what I call bubblles in my ears. Feels like it may be fluid. Benadryl is the only medication that takes it away. Ease of falling asleep and staying asleep is an added benefit.

I have AFIB. I want to know if this medication will hurt me in the long run. Or should I stop this. I take it to fall asleep. Sometimes I take 1 pill only, but not more that 2 pills at bedtime.

I take one Benadryl every night to help me sleep. I also take one Tylenol for arthritis pain. These two meds have been a God send for my sleep. Two of my doctors tell me that taking these meds is not a problem.

Unable to function due to sleepiness. There seems to be debate whether or not it is safe for people with high blood pressure. It says tell your doctor if you have this, but it doesn't say why. This article does not address. I would appreciate a straightforward statement "yes" or "no": is it safe to take with high blood pressure?

I get really bad hay fever, to the point I can barely see and breath. This drug is brilliant, especially as it lasts about 6-9 hours for myself. The only problem after about 2-3 hours I feel like I'm going to pass out because I feel that tired! I will still keep taking these tablets but I just make sure I take plenty of water when I feel drowsy... this does help wake me a little. The drowsiness wears off after about 2 hours.

I have used Benadryl for trouble sleeping and allergies. Benadryl does not make me sleepy, but it helps prolong my sleep. Many medications (Nyquil, Tylenol PM) cause me to feel "groggy' the next morning, but Benadryl does not. As for allergies, Benadryl helps me with a runny nose and sneezing.

one Benadryl was advised for my insomnia 25mg of the "D" word and melatonin (10mg time released) They were not taken at the same time. First I took the Benadryl then after about a half hour to an hour it did not put me to sleep then took the 10 mg melatonin. Finally went to sleep but the next day, I felt absolutely horrible talk about a heavy head worse than Xanax!!!!! Tonight I will only try one Benadryl and may take 50mg and no melatonin to see how this works??? Does anyone have any opinion about this or haqve experienced the same problem???? I was taking Anbiem 0.5mg and it was real good for me, however, my Neurologist told me he did not recommend this sleeping pill at all so this is why he suggested the above OTC medicines. However,I felt much better with the Ambien the next day when I woke up.Read More Read Less

The medicine fixed the allergy symptoms but caused severe diarrhea.

it helps me to sleep at night

Had a severe allergic reaction to Spirulina, half dose Sat night, woke up w/ soleen face and hives on scalp...went towork, saw an urgebt care do after work, bc my throat and neck were swollen and lumpy...went I got to the doc, I had hive on base of throat...she advised strongly to go to ER they checked me in, stat, and hooked me up w/ IV w/ Benadryl and Pepcid(and histamine 2 blocker)...my condition stablized in less than a half hour...that was good, for I had a bit of numbness around my mouth....if I had gone home for dinner instead, I probably wouldnt be here today 10 days later still on antibiotics, Benadryl, and Pepcid, most of the swelling has gone down...some around the eyes and nose, but I'll be patientRead More Read Less

TWO OR THREE TABS; THEN EFFECTS MY MENTAL STATE WITH LISTLESSNESS

Benedryl has helped me sleep, but I don't like the side effects--I feel "loggy" in the morning--it still does not help me get back to sleep after my frequent trips to the bath-room, and it thickens the mucous in my sinuses.

I wish I had read the previous review before I wasted my money. This did not work at all. The dr prescribed 25mg for me. I hope to find an otc that will actually work. I must add that resting and limited activity has helped a lot better than the meds. However, I'm still no at 100% and have been dealing with this for 2 weeks.

Dr has told me to take benadryl for sleep as he does not believe in giving prescription drugs for sleep it does not work for me ana not sure what to do

I take this medication to sleep and relieve itching from eczema. But more recently, I have taken it mainly as a sleep aid. I know this is not the primary use for this medication but it is the only thing I had and I really need my sleep. I was going through a very painful breakup and sleeping was the only relief I had from the thoughts and pain of it. I am much better now but I still want to make sure I can sleep so I have decided to start using ZZZZ-quil instead as it is made specifically and solely as a sleep aid. I do want to be able to sleep without the use of any aid eventually but right now, if this is what it takes I'll do it.Read More Read Less

Prescribed because of various heart medications I am taking for CHF. Cardiologist does NOT want me to go to the "hard" stuff and recommended Benadryl, and once again, I am sleeping soundly. Thanks much. Only a suggestion: Delivery system a bit too much for anyone with arthritis in his/her hands. Packets are difficult to open.

After became very talkative & had words mixed up.

Made me very sleepy and have fitfull sleep and bad dreams
