Question 2

i've been having lots of trouble sleeping for the past few months. it's gotten to the point where i have to take 4+ benadryl to sleep at all.

Accepted Answer

Dangerous: High doses of Benadryl at bedtime can cause severe cognitive problems the next day. Good sleep habits, melatonin, or prescription trazdone may be helpful. Avoid benzo prescription meds.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Look : Look for a free or low income clinic nearby. This is serious and you do need professional help and perhaps prescription medication.

Question 4

ive been abusing benadryl for sleep with beer for months now that i wanna stop i cant sleep do i need to detox?

Accepted Answer

: you need to discuss this with your MD. She will guide you how to ease out of it . No you do not need to detox

Question 5

i was wondering if its safe to take 0.75mg klonopin with 6mg melatonin and 50mg of benadryl to sleep. i have bad cough due to a cold and cant sleep.

Accepted Answer

Address cough: If this only a cold as you say, an OTC cough suppressant like DMX may be all you need to rest. Klonipin and benadryl are sedatives with additive effects.

Question 6

sleep depravation one night led to a chain of sleepless nights. benadryl (diphenhydramine) sleep hygiene melatonin and no stimulants won't help how can i stop the chain?

Accepted Answer

Insomnia: There are tons of different sleep aids available, but at this point your insomnia is also caused by the fear/anxiety of not being able to fall asleep. I've had good success with short as needed use of Lorazepam in select patients. It works like a champ for them up to a week and then they are able to sleep on their own. There's a concern of them being addictive, but short and as needed use is ok.

Question 7

can i take benadryl for sleep aid after a pulmonary embolism?

Accepted Answer

YES: Safe in small doses.

Question 8

now off psych medications, like geodon, (ziprasidone) klonopin, ativan, trazodone, that put me to sleep. am now using benadryl evernight4 sleep no relaxation or wood

Accepted Answer

No question?: If this new strategy is working for you, that is great! it's hard to understand what you mean by "no relaxation or wood", but you might know. You do still list trazodone which is a sleep medication for many people. Hopefully your doctor(s) are aware of your decisions and can support you in your efforts to improve this important aspect of a healthy life-style. Best!

Question 9

adult dose of benadryl (diphenhydramine) for sleep?

Accepted Answer

Usually: 50 mg half an hour prior to bed. Some people respond fine to 25 mg.

Question 10

is it bad to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) to sleep?

Accepted Answer

Sleep : I wouldn't recommend taking it as a long term sleep aid. Melatonin may be a better option for you.
