You could torture me with diphenhydramine. I have restless leg syndrome, bad, take drugs to sleep every night. Women who have slept with me when I missed a pill made damned sure I had one. One gf almost sent me home when I joked about forgetting it. It would have been the couch for sure. Hell, it even gets into my arms when it's bad.

Imagine twitching from the waist down, paralyzed with fatigue from the waist up, screaming to pass out but your legs are doing the Charleston.

700 mg would be 28 pills. Good heavens!

Fucked up and took too much Benadryl one time. Hallucinated spiders crawling all over me. After that, I swore to never touch the stuff again

Benadryl! Because you can't have allergies if you're unconscious.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

At my first IT job, we had to attend a week or two of training before actually doing the job. I was eighteen at the time and didn't know nothin' about nothin' ... Including that benadryl makes you sleepy.

Sometime in the first few days of training, I was having some pretty bad allergies and a roommate suggested benadryl. I picked some up on the drive to work and took the recommended dose immediately, then headed into the training, which was nothing but lecturing for a full eight hours on the second floor of a building with a broken AC. Also in the small room were about 20-25 people and a 2005-era projector in the middle of the room.

I doubt I learned anything other than the side effects of benadryl that day. I'm fortunate that I did manage to stay conscious and that the drowsiness had probably worn off before my ninety minute drive home.

Haven't taken any since.

What is the recommended dose

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

25mg, aka one pill. Every 6 hours

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I don't know - I haven't had any in almost twenty years. I just took what it said on the box at the time.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 68 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I accidentally did.

Back in jr high, I was sick as hell and helped myself to Benadryl.

Thought I was taking them as directed, over a period of days. Nope. Was taking them every hour or two for part of the morning and into the afternoon. Luckily, not a lethal dose or anything.

But I was seeing some shit!

The walls were breathing, the floor had waves, and he-man came out of my TV on battlecat to talk to me. My GI Joes had a fight with COBRA, and I vaguely remember talking to Spider-Man as I was drifting off at one point.

Yeah, just stay awake long and overwork your brain (preferable with stuff you like, or you'll fail to stay awake long enough).
You reach a point where you feel mentally tired, unable to concentrate well but unable to sleep because it is conflicting with your Carcadian rhythm. At that time, you can get to a relatively darker place, watch/read/think of whatever you want to hallucinate and it might work.

Make sure not to be sedentary during the whole exercise or you will require much more effort with much less effect.

Doing this alongside fasting, helps (makes you stay awake more).

At the end of it, your day and night cycle will be destroyed and you will have to restore it over time.


Oh and don't drive

better not owe money to the hat-man when you take benadryl

[–] tromars@feddit.org 17 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The hatman does NOT respect gender pronouns past 450mg

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I was gonna ask if this is the one ppl abuse to hallucinate a guy. The stories I've read, no thank you. I Wanna do shrooms, but with my anxiety, I need a real good head space to even try a low dose.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I've done shrooms, LSD, and 2CT-7. Shrooms are chill. Even once you hallucinate, it's just like breathing walls, and the floor moving weird. I've never seen something that wasn't there on shrooms. Sure, shit that is there looks weird as fuck, but you're more likely to laugh your ass off than anything else. Pretty sure that's why they are starting to recommend micro dosing for depression and anxiety.

I wouldn't recommend 2CT-7 to anyone that isn't experienced with both shrooms and acid. Acid is intense as fuck, and can go all over the place if you aren't in the right headspace.
