Do people have withdrawals from stopping benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
benadryl (diphenhydramine): Depending on the reason you are taking benadryl, (diphenhydramine) if you have grown dependent on it as a sleep aid, it may be a problem to fall asleep without anything. If taken to treat allergies, symptoms will recur. There are no withdrawal symptoms per se.
