A member asked:
Is 350 mg of benadryl (diphenhydramine) in 6 hours too much to take?

NO: As long as you have no side effects from it, it is ok. The question is why are you taking it?

Yes: As an antihistamine, recommended doses for adults is 25-50 mg Diphenhydramine every 6-8 hours, not to exceed 50-100 mg every 4-6 hours.
