A member asked:
I can no longer sleep and its causing mental problems? could this be due to taking diphenhydramine?

Insomnia: Regular use of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) along with melatonin is possible cause of tolerance. Sleep hygiene works well. Refer to diagram. Check with your doctor about other alternative medications.

The soporific effect eventually encounters tolerance, and higher doses result in less efficacy. Lack of sleep can result in both emotional and cognitive problems. At this point, find help with a sleep hygiene approach, and try to avoid sleeping pills. A sleep specialist may be available to provide the needed guidance.
