“i only wish! i take benedryl all the time for allergies, i don't think it even makes me sleepy anymore.”

“I keep laughing here at work everytime I think about this feeling of being high at work and when I finially stop laughing I think about it again and begin laughing again. I dont know why it seems so funny but people are walking past my office and looking at me oddly because I am the only one in here LMAO!!!!”

“words like 'ointment' seem especially funny right now!”

“jeepers...I had no idea this was a side effect.

I think I should take benadryl more oftne!!!









thrifty hikers butt rash!!!! ROFLMAO”

“Just gives me a nice night of sleep on the trail. Only take it at night.”

“..and just how does this make you any different than you usually are???? ;-)”

“I gave benadryl to a camper once on a trip I was leading, he had a rash from something, I don't remember what. But this kid came from a family that was anti-(any substance), he had never had caffeine before. The benadryl really threw him for a trip that ended in a crazy laughing fit right before he passed out. "Oh boy... I hope he's all right"”

“I take the Benadryl for severe headache and allergy. One would be OK. Two would send me nodding off.

I was in at Wally World the other day and went to the pharmacy (cuz I gotta get that good METH MAKIN' stuff, ya see! LMAO!) It was closed. AACK!

So I went to the aisle where cold remedies are. And there it was: REforumulated! I thought, geez will this work and sock the horrible headaches I've had behind my eyes??

Took it that night. Was kinda tired. Was waaay tired after I took it!! LOL!

But the next time I took it, during the day and all rested up, it did its job, but didn't wipe me out.

Just an FYI on personal Benadryl reactions. But seriously, god bless Benadryl!!”

“it makes me fidgety and won't let me sleep. If i take it and try to lay down..my body feels like i have to jerk and shake and sometimes i do instead of fighting it, it's horrible...my arms start to spaz out...blah blah blah!!!!”

“I can't take any allergy medicine, which is a bummer as I have asthma.

We also have never found an anti-depressant I can tolerate - except, of course, for booze and friends at FYAO.”

“Free what are you doing?

I mean if you work in a drive through Vasectomy clinic there may be a problem.”

“I have to take benadryl when I get stung...usually for about two weeks, or until the swelling goes away (and yet the Dr's say I have no alergy). I hate it. Makes me feel like I'm a zombie. If I'm going to feel that way I'd rather get to enjoy the process of getting there (zombieworld).”

“Would you be able to use a topical Benedril Sass?”

“I take it when I have poison ivy...just sip it now and then and enjoy the calm, relaxed feeling...

:)”

“Nige, I use both. Last time I got stung by a yellow jacket on the back of my hand I swelled up to my elbow for two weeks. As the bendryl would wear off the swelling increased. I like the clear version of the topical. The Doctor's keep on telling me it's not an allergic reaction. My question is wtf is it then? One actually told me it was an infection from the bugs dirty mouth.”

“You apparently have “accumulated” a hyper-sensitivity to these sorts insect stings. I'm not trying to be alarmist but this can be very dangerous to you. If you were to be stung in the area of the throat or head you could have an anaphyilactic reaction that could kill you. Your throat could swell until you could not breathe. You should ask your doctor to prescribe an EpiPen. It’s a gas-powered syringe filled with the correct dosage of epinephrine. If stung you administer this shot into your hip. I have the same problem. Normally I wouldn’t use the shot unless I got stung multiply times or in the head/throat area. But even if I get stung in the hand I take oral epinephrine. Here’s the EpiPen website

PS: You might consider changing doctors. Yours doesn't appear to be very bright.

That person's a moron if they say that after you're stung by something sticking out near the bug's butt, not it's mouth.”

You're blaming the Benadryl? What's your excuse the rest of the time? ;)”

“Good point, LMG.”

“I agree Sol! Actually it wasn't my doctor, it was the urgent care clinic in Pittsburgh, KS and the hospital that work used to send us to. I should take some time to discuss it w/ my doctor. I just tend to forget about it unless I'm stung. I do carry benedryl in my purse and work bag and in my first aid kit. You are definitely right, I could get in alot of trouble if stung in the right spot.”

“Epinephrene works a lot better than benedryl. For me swelling that normally takes two weeks to go down will go away in two days.”
