Like many other antihistamines, Benadryl makes you sleepy. It is the major component in over-the-counter sleep aids. It is not mood-altering. You should take it only before going to bed, as it can affect coordination and lead to possible falls and injury. Never operate a vehicle or machinery of any kind while taking it. You have to be pretty hard up for fun to imagine that you get any with Benadryl. There are possible serious side effects with Benadryl. It is a good idea to use it only as directed, and only for short periods. Read the package insert for detailed information. Among other things, it is possible to become dependent on it for sleep, and sleep disturbances can result when use is ceased.
