In reply to benadryl....is giving me a daily BUZZ...b. damage?, posted by alesta on May 1, 2006, at 14:08:52
> i take 50 mg of benadryl at a time for allergies. it makes me feel stoned and not care about anything. i can't even reply to posts that i want to reply to. my brain is like jello. this can't be good for my brain, or my life. i am just wondering if anyone thinks there will be any brain damage from this stuff, as i was off of it for a day or 2 and still could not think the way i normally do *at all*! how do you explain that? please someone tell me my brain is ok (btw, i am starting claritin again soon). i am seriously worried about this..
>Benadryl is a pretty potent anticholinergic, which could explain the spongy-brained thing. Whenever I take it (in desperation!) for sleep, I feel foggy and stupid the whole next day.
I seriously doubt you've done any long-term damage... Expect to feel better tomorrow. :)
