In reply to Benadryl for sleep instead of benzo??, posted by Spriggy on April 18, 2005, at 13:43:15
DON'T USE THE NYQUIL - not with all the problems yo have been having.
Benedryl is used on psych wards as a sleep aid. Yes it's safe. My pdoc told me I could use up to 200 mg. Don't start at that. You will build a tolerance. So use the Benedryl while thinking of something else you might try. Aren't you going to try Lunesta?
