I took 10 tablets of benadryl (diphenhydramine) not thinking because i had an allergic reaction. what should i do?

Wait it out: Don't operate any machinery or vehicle. You may end up with dry mouth, constipation, and drowsiness but will not have life-threatening reactions. These effect should subside in about a day or so. If you took this many in a suicide attempt, call the suicide hotline immediately to get help. In the future, be sure not to exceed the recommend dose because you may not be as lucky the next time around.
