Benadryl contains diphenhydramine which is the exact same ingredient as all the other sleeping pills, but benadryl is much cheaper. Normal dose= 50 mg.
Your only other main choice is the regular Unisom in the blue pill. It contains the antihistamine doxylamine succinate. Dosage= 25 mg
I find benadryl to be stronger than unisom personally, but everyone is different, for some unisom is stronger.
I wouldn't recommend buying the store brand of these products. I've had bad experiences with generic sleeping meds because they seem to be of poorer quality. Buy namebrand Benadryl Kapseals (this is the fastest working kind- faster than the tablets), or plain old Unisom in the blue pill.
