It took me a while to figure out that an over-the-counter sleep aid and the Benadryl I would buy for allergy symptoms were, in fact, exactly the same drug, Diphenhydramine, packaged under different names.
And is available much cheaper, and in greater quantities online VS your local drug store
And it also is a derailant and can make you see spiders on your skin and shadow people stalking you!
And has been linked to dementia, alzheimers, and personality disorders.
Just anecdotaly my dad is/was having some health problems. he got to the point he couldn't carry a conversation and couldn't walk in a straight line without falling over.
He finally told me he was taking benadryl packaged as one of the OTC sleep aids, but taking it nightly for months or years. Once me and his doctor convinced him to stop he improved like 400x better within two weeks. He never noticed a difference.
I only knew it was a problem because I took large doses in highschool and his symptoms seemed similar once I could connect the dots.
That's crazy, but I'm not surprised. Benadryl is fucking poison. It sickens me when I hear of parents giving it to their children just to make them fall asleep. I had an ex who's mom would give her large doses every night just so she wouldn't have to deal with her. She said she often saw shadow people her entire childhood. I'm convinced benadryl played a large role in her developing BPD.
That and growing up on the internet is really changing the way kids brains develop. Personality disorders are becoming extremely common. Humans are just different than they used to be.
Other medicines too, acetaminophen is in some headache stuff I have so when I got a cold I just popped that when I was out of cold medicine
Be careful with acetaminophen. Since it's in lots of other meds like you said, if you don't read the labels it's pretty easy to take too much.
I recommend not ever taking benadryl. Its been linked to lots of disorders and diseases, like dementia, alzheimers, and personality disorders. It can also create traumatic experiences that last a lifetime.
