A member asked:

50mg of benadryl (diphenhydramine) ok before bed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Nayla Mumneh answered

benadryl (diphenhydramine): Should be fine, but would rather take 25mg if you have not taken it before regularly, as you may have a hard time waking up the next day.

Dr Satulovsky agreed
