A member asked:
If i have been taking benedryl nightly for two months can i stop cold turkey without withdrawal effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I think true significant withdrawal symptoms come from stopping Benadryl only after chronically abusing it. However your mild use of it at bedtime might cause some difficulties sleeping on abrupt discontinuing it after taking it nightly for 2 months. I recommend some program of tapering off it with the supervision of your physician.
