what's a good dose for me to take to fall asleep?

That depends on a lot of stuff, like relative size (height and weight), any personal tolerance, etc etc. But for most people 50 - 100mg would be adequate for getting drowsy. I believe the OTC sleeping pills made with that chemical come in 50 mg pills.

25-50mg is the dose the packaging will reccomend, however you can take up to 100-125mg before you start feeling the deliriant effects.

I would say 50 mg... but didn't somebody around here once say that diphen reduces REM sleep?

When using diphenhydramine I sometimes wake up too early and have trouble getting back to sleep.

Depends on the person.

I took 400mgs and i can't fucking sleep

I need valium :(

Try some Doxylamine succinate.

Peace.

I would say 100mg fuck 50mg,,,, 50mg wont put me to sleep and also i work at a pharmacy and 100mg is not uncommon and fuck t pm and advill pm its all bull shit had to say it, if i need to get knocked out ill take 200mg works and i cant sleep im on kpin and shit also im on a drunking raging os ya 100mg 50 for a bitch who cant sleep,

I would say just take 25mg or one pill. I mean taking more will make you even more drowsy, but the quality of sleep you get is shitty. It is like being unconscience, but not really asleep. And any more than that and I wake up feeling it still, just wierd and kind of spacy. Diphenhydramine is some nasty stuff.

I couldn't sleep last night so I took two 25 mg Diphenhydramine pills along with around 110mg of DXM, it helped. I went to sleep MUCH faster than I normally would have, I might do it more often actually, it really does help.

75-100mg does me good for a couple of days, everyone is different, i'd suggest a starting dose of 50mg...

For be though it becomes kinda useless after 3-4 nights of using it and I must take a break...

Kill yourself nigger

JAMAL= troll

First of all, stateofhack... wtf... you're an idiot. Second off, don't do this more often to fall asleep. Otherwise you'll just become dependent on the chemicals in order to fall asleep and then you REALLY won't be able to fall asleep without them. But then shortly after that, they won't even work. And then you'll try to increase your dose, but that won't help either. And you'll just be screwed, staying up for days not being able to sleep. And the only way you'll be able to get back to normal is cessation of use of either of those chemicals for at least 3 - 4 days. By then your body should be back to normal... Which is apparently not being able to sleep? Or not being able to sleep as quickly as you'd like. Perhaps you should try some other things before you start taking drugs. Most people have problems sleeping for one of many reasons.
If you have problems sleeping regularly, go see a doctor. It could be a serious medical problem. For instance, you could have a thyroid imbalance that needs fixing. If the doc says you're all good, then there are some other things you can do to fix this: Change your diet (many people eat a lot of unhealthy foods and an unbalanced diet, change this and you'd be surprised how much difference it can make on your life), exercise (If you exercise regularly, it can make it much easier for you to fall asleep at night), try getting the proper vitamins (most people don't get the vitamins they need, and when they do get vitamins, they usually don't get enough of the right ones). If you try changing some of that stuff and you still have problems falling asleep, I'd recommend trying some herbal supplements. A lot of people have good results with Melatonin or other similar substances. You could give that a shot.

with just a little it will help sleep... take too much and theres no way in hell your going to sleep...

50-100mg is about as high as i would go..

I took 100 mg last night and ended up staying up the whole night, didnt work for me. I find nyquil to be the best for sleeping.

I believe the person that called you a troll. You certainly are a nigger, and an inept individual such as yourself asking what a good dosage is taking 100 mgs WILL SURELY put you to sleep. (That is assuming you've never really taken it before...) 4 fucking benadryl will have me drowsy enough to lay down almost any day i haven't been eating the shit for days on end... and for the record (i've been taking this shit religously for sleep over the past 2-3 weeks and i took 50 mgs in the middle of the day today and wanted to lay down and g ot osleep.

shut the fuck up, drugs affect people differently. Get off my dick you little bitch.
