Some people: get a paradoxical reaction to benadryl (diphenhydramine). Whereas it makes most people tired, it can make some jittery. The effects should fade in 4-6 hours. Make sure to tell any health care providers about this reaction in the future. It is not an allergy, but they will want to know to anticipate it before giving you the medicine if you need it. Hope this helps!

Can you use 2 different forms of the same med? In this case Benadryl for a reaction. I started with 25mg tablet. Breathing got tricky, I used my injectable Benadryl 25mg. I am super itchy now. Is this because I used two different forms? What do I do?
