Will diphenhydramine show up in a drug test?
This is the common ingredient in Benedryl and sleep aids like Unisom. While it is available over the counter, it is also available in prescription strength. It will not show up on a drug test as diphenhydramine, but could possibly show up as some type of opiate. It is best to alert the person administering the test that you have been taking it and in what form it was taken. It is not illegal, and being honest will keep you out of possible scrutiny or trouble.
Will Benadryl help your dog sleep?
Benadryl (Diphenhydramine)
Is sold under different names, one is Benadryl, various Sleep Aids use Diphenhydramine in the exact same dosage as Benadryl.
The brand is not important, but only the active ingredient.
Diphenhydramine is safe for dogs, it is however used to treat allergies.
So basic Benadryl is safe to give to your dog in the right dosage, but the problem is that the dog may not get drowsy from it at all. Diphenhydramine's primary function is as an antihistamine, the drowsiness is only a side-effect that humans experience. Some dogs get drowsy, some dogs don't. Your best bet is to try calling a local veterinarian and asking them what sedative will be both effective and safe for your dog.
It is perfectly humane to sedate an animal to prevent them from experiencing high stress levels or danger. Just make sure you get advise from a professional instead of strangers on the internet.
Is diphenhydramine safe to take after expiration date?
The expiration date on most drugs tell you when the manufacturer is guaranteeing it will have the maximum potency.
Taking a drug after the expiration date is taking a chance that it won't be as effective as a drug taken within the "guaranteed effective."
So, in answer to your question, on the diphenhydramine, no one knows if it is safe. All you can say for sure, is the manufacturer will not guarantee the drug is 100% effective after the expiration date.
The standard benadryl (diphenhydramine) dose for a dog is 1 milligram (1mg) per pound every 8-12 hours. For example a 25 pound dog could get 25mg of benadryl two to three times per day. This can cause drowsiness. if your dog is too sleepy after dosing you can give 1/2 a dose. I am not a veterinarian and I recommend that you never give any medication (even over the counter medication like benadryl) without first consulting a veterinarian.
How much benadryl can you give a 7 pound dog?
This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment. Unfortunately, trying to get human formulations of diphenhydramine (the drug in Benadryl) into a small enough dosage to be safe for a six pound dog is very difficult.

Will Benadryl cause a dog to hallucinate?

Benadryl causes dry mouth and drowsiness or nervousness; Adderall causes dry mouth and nervousness - taking both might cause excessive dryness which can include a severe headache (your sinuses dry out too much) and trouble urinating (your bladder gets too dry); they might also cause severe nervousness or trouble sleeping.
In pediatric patients, especially, an overdose of antihistamines may cause hallucinations, convulsions, or death. In adults, antihistamines may diminish mental alertness in pediatric patients. Young pediatric patients may produce excitation.
Information relating to lethal doses of medications are available to most toxicologists and pharmacologists, but are rarely published due to the potential for use in intentional harm to self or others.
