GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!
Call an ambulance or get someone to drive you. Do NOT try to drive yourself there, because the drug will make you very sleepy and confused. (You'll be unable to move or speak anyway and you'll probably hallucinate spiders.)

if it sets your mind at ease, you will experience a bad deleriant trip long before you overdose. there are people who willingly take ~900mg for recreational use, without overdosing. of course, I don't recommend to the least such high dosages.
ANSWER
As a severely depressed teenager, I took a massive amount of Unisom and Benadryl (which mixing is strongly suggested against on the bottles) and sat down. Just the fact that I had so many pills sitting in my stomach made me sick, so I threw up twice before I dozed off to sleep. When I woke up a few hours later, I seemed to slip in and out of a conscious state. I only remember certain parts of the day (which were almost dream like) yet my sister, mother, and father all remember the rest.
I, apparently, came downstairs and smoked a cigarette with my sister, when she noticed I had blue lips, a crazily dehydrated mouth (they were so dry, that every movement of my mouth sounded like a disgusting smacking sound), and I was trembling like a junkie. Of course, I thought I was just fine and told her so every time she asked (answering in a weak voice and often trailing off.) I also had several conversations with my mother about the television, when she wasn't even at home or on the phone. I also told my sister strange things like, "I'm going to get my friends back, because the telephone is ghetto." And had seen a boat through some bushes (again, there was no boat there.) Then, I proceeded to argue with my father when he came home, because I had missed school that day...all the while, my sister freaking out because she thought I went completely bonkers and would actually hurt my dad. I then, went back to sleep, throwing up some more, in my sleep (I was not aware of this until coming back in and seeing the stains on my sheets and comforter.) My mom woke me up the same day at 6:00PM and by then, I was fine and sober.
So yes, I ended up here, alive and well. But it was probably the worst experience ever. In fact, I am so terrified, that I have sworn off taking anything with diphenhydramine hydrochloride...even if it is for allergies.
Is diphenhydramine 25 mg bad for your liver?
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, trade-named as Benadryl, is one of the more innocuous drugs to take. As long as you are not especially or abnormally sensitive to it, it is probably safe to take even for extended periods.
It is an Over-The-Counter drug; that's no guarantee, since both aspirin and Tylenol are OTC drugs which are deadly in large doses. Consult your physician or pharmacist if you have any questions about drugs.

The FDA requires generic drugs to have the same characteristics as the branded drug. The store-brand generic version of Benadryl will be every bit as effective and safe.

Is it dangerous taking 4 diphenhydramine hci at a time?
If you are already so looped that you cannot accurately copy the name of the
ingredient from the package label, it seems clear to me that putting the chemical
into your body could not help you, and might very likely hurt you.
What if benadryl doesn't work what other medication can you take for a body and face rash?
Reactine can be purchased over the counter and the rash should start going away after one week. I was prescribed the 20mg dose for my allergic reaction but it is also available in 10mg doses for less serious reactions.
Can you give a pregnant dog diphenhydramine hcl?
What are you doing??? Asking online about giving a pregnant dog drugs???? You need to get your cheap ass to a vet, and then you need to get your dog fixed after she has puppies. Get yourself fixed too, while you're at it. What are you, a breeder or something? We don't need to be having any more puppies or kittens. There are already BILLIONS out there with no home. Every animal you bring into this world is one animal who is euthanized or dies on the street. Freaking idiot people out there recklessly breeding dogs and giving them drugs on top of it. You make me sick.
THC is a cannabinoid substance that cross-reacts with dronabinol (Marinol), a cannabinoid used to treat nausea and AIDS-related wasting. Other substances have been reported to cause false-positives for THC. A rash of false-positive urine drug screens in newborns was shown to be caused by any of several unrelated ingredients of soaps used by some of the nurses to clean the babies before the samples were collected (medicalxpress.com/news/2012-06-baby-products-linked-false-positive.html). Enfavirenz, an anti-retroviral drug used to treat HIV (AIDS virus) causes false positives (pharmacologyweekly.com/articles/HIV-antiretroviral-efavirenz-marijuana-urine-drug-screen-false-positive), as do omeprazole (Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix), and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) (cdn.intechweb.org/pdfs/28113.pdf). Hempseed oil products, which are legal, sometimes contain large quantities of THC contaminants, depending upon the source of the seeds (clinchem.org/content/49/7/1037.full). <br /><br /> Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that does not usually show up in screening tests for "opiates," but there are screening tests that are designed for it.
How much benadryl should you give your 8 pound dog in teaspoons I don't have a mg measuring device?
an 8 lb. dog needs 16 mg of Benadryl, so you can give it one teaspoon ofchildren's benadryl which has 12.5 mg. make sure it is regular benadryl and doesn't contain acetaminophen (to check, look at the active ingredients in the box or bottle).
Could you die if you took a whole bottle of Benadryl?
Yes, you could. Benadryl contains an antihistamine. If you overdose, it could cause extreme drowsiness, confusion, blurred vision, seizures, and even death. You should never take more than the recommended amount of any medication.
NEVER give an animal a medication meant for humans unless a veterinarian prescribes it for the animal. The dosages of human medicines can KILL a dog or cat, even if they can take the particular medicine at a reduced dosage.
What do you do if you have no Benadryl for a yellow jacket sting?
Alternative anti-histamine, baking soda, ice, and meat tenderizer packs are all options when there is no Benadryl for a yellow jacket sting. Another anti-histamine which is available and gets good results may substitute for Benadryl. Otherwise, the simple home remedies of applying packs of baking soda, ice or meat tenderizer, each for about 20 minutes, will do the trick of alleviating the more minor burning, itching, swollen reactions to the sting.

Can you mix Benadryl with Ativan im?
The combination can make you very drowsy. I found this first hand by taking just 0.5 mg Ativan and 5 mg Benadryl about 2 hours apart. I slept for 7 hours afterwards and still woke up a bit drousy. I try to avoid it as much as I can. If I get a skin rash (which is why I need Benadryk occasiunally) and already took Ativan that day, I will try first other methods (like an oatmeal bath or some topical meds).
Can you take benadryl and mucinex and cipro together?
