User Reviews for diphenhydramine oral

Tired, I think I am taking too much! Lot of dreams and wake often during the night.

I still do wake in the middle of the night but not as often. Side effects, because I am sleeping better, are decreased pain in joints,elevated mood level and I don't have to take my antihistamine as often.

I find that a 50mg softgel works great at preventing me from waking in the middle of the night. I do feel a bit lethargic when I wake up, but that feeling only lasts for about 10 mins. The overnight, sound sleep benefit far outweighs that small issue in the morning.

I have been prescribed Neurontin for Bipolar and restless legs, but I lost my insurance (until April). My anxiety level has been almost unbearable. Someone suggested Bynedryl, so I've been taking diphenhydramine - like 20 a day - and it's helped somewhat. Have been taking alot, several times a day. Don't know what it's doing to my body, but my anxiety can get so bad I can barely function without it.

I wanted something help me sleep but when i take this medicine is makes my skin feel like its crawling. I can't lay still long enough to even think about falling asleep.

use for sleep now my creatina levels are off

I am allergic to grass and break out in rash, hives, and have problems with breathing; this product has greatly improved my quality of life though I now have dry mouth and the mucus in my lungs is starting to thicken, but I've been taking this medication daily for 6 years now at a higher perscribed dose then most people

I have used this produt for 2 weeks to aid in sleeping, it has worked as well as Ambien.

I was very surprised to discover that Unisom has the same ingredients as Benadryl! There should be warnings on the label not to take BOTH at the same time, as I also have allergies and have taken Benadryl too! Thankfully, I only take 1/2 Benadryl pill during the night or I might've overdosed! Why are there not warnings? I also have borderline high BP, so know to take smaller doses of Benadryl. This should be reported and put on labels for Unisom and Benadryl.

dry mouth and sinuses

I got married and my husband has to wake up at 2:30 am to go to work, so I took this to help me get to sleep (much) earlier. IT WORKS! Concur about the dreams as I have enjoyed them! Bad thing is, I started to ITCH. I am allergic to Sulph Drugs and I think my body is reacting to this drug like it does to Sulpha. Funny thing is, I scratch like crazy for awhile and then POOF...I am ASLEEP! Poor Hubby wakes up with me scratching and can't get back to sleep so I need to try something else.

I have suffered from occasional insomnia all my life. Sometimes I cannot go to sleep until well after midnight (even after a busy day). The 40 mg. gelcap allows me to go to sleep within 10 minutes.

I was having trouble sleeping; I wasn't sleepy even very late at night, it was taking me a long time (over an hour) to go to sleep, and I would wake up often. I have been taking a 50mg gel capsule right before bed. I am also taking 600mg of ibuprofen for pain. It takes me a little less time to fall asleep and I basically don't wake up during the night. However, this is with only a maximum of 4hrs of sleep per night. I don't feel any side effects when it "kicks in" or the morning after. It is simply easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

I am concerned that it may be affecting my memory, short term. I have had memory problems that continue to worsen since I have been taking the drug to sleep. I have taken an early onset AD screening test and passed, however, I am certain that for some reason my short term memory is failing.

Originally took this med for allergy relief and found it helped me to get to sleep as well. The generic (Costco) version is very inexpensive and I only take 1/2 a 25 mg tablet about half hour before going to bed and I get very sleepy.

has worked better for me than almost all sleep aids i have tried. i take two 25 mg pills. I go to sleep fast and stay asleep. I have not noticed any side effects. With out them I wont sleep for days at a time and when i do fall asleep i wake up constantly.

Relatively quick getting to sleep (for me), and the dreams are amazing! I love dreams so I have embraced them in this instance. From seeing my Mother (whom has passed) to reliving great college memories - it may sound ridiculous...but go with the flow and embrace what we are given.

bought legatrin pm for rls. did not work at all, though it said it was for that ewheni looked up main ingrediant i found out that iat is for allergies. very un happy. cost over ten dollars at walmart.
