A member asked:
If i get severe irritability when i take benadryl (diphenhydramine) is it still ok to take occasionally when having an allergic reaction? safe to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Appears safe.: If irritability is your only side effect it is apparently not a physical threat. Are you able to tolerate the irritability without threatening your livelihood, family, or significant relationships? There are other antihistamines.
