Don’t take Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Shit would never be approved for use if it were invented today. It fucks with your brain, messes with your reflexes, and is correlated strongly with dementia.
Second and third generation antihistamines work better and are non-drowsy.
benadryl should have been pulled years ago if the FDA wasn't a total fucking joke. And tylenol should be controlled.
Fair enough. I don’t take it, personally, though.
I used to, until I learned more about it.
One of the things that finally made me realize how potent it is: pilots aren’t allowed to fly for at least 60 hours after taking anticholinergics like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or doxylamine (another first-gen antihistamine marketed as Unisom, and is also the thing in NyQuil that makes you drowsy).
Dang!
