so a couple weeks ago i took about 300mg of benadryl at about 9:30 pm, waited a couple hours for the effects, nothing but sleepyness, so i just decided to go to bed.

thats when shit got sour.

i woke up at least once every 10 minuites talking to myself. or talking on the phone that wasnt in my hand, or maybe the phone was in my hand but there was no one on the other line. i was talking to someone until i snapped back to reality and realized im talking to myself.

or maybe i would wake up while i was "browsing the internet" on my itouch. when in actuality i was staring and poking at my hand.

a couple times i woke up and i was standing in my kitchen. but i could swear that i was JUST at a party talking to my boys, drinking a beer. but there was nothing in my hand. i was just holding it at my side like there was an invisible beer in my hand.

most of the time i would wake up because my hallucinations told me that i was hallucinating them. like when i was at the "party" holding a "beer" my "boy" that i was "talking to" told me that i was hallucinating due to the benadryl that i took.

or i was "checking a comment on my myspce" using my "ipod touch" and the "comment from my friend said somehting like "dude your trippin so hard right now." and i would snap out of it.

the best way i can describe it is dreaming with my eyes open.

i met a couple famous people that night too. i remember meeting the president to this day like it was an actual event. i actually feel like i met the president.

the hallucinations were more vivid than acid or mushrooms. but that might be due to the fact that i couldnt remember that i was on drugs.

anyone have similar experiences.

I had the exact same experience as you had. "Dreaming with your eyes open" is a perfect way to describe it. I was having conversations with people and it seemed so vivid and real and then I just snapped out of it. I took about 450mg of it and smoked some weed too.

That's my general "low dose" experience.

This may sound weird but having an orgasm on a dose like that feels ridiculously amazing.

Yeah it definitely does.

Did you guys have fun?

I've only had a few times where I didn't like it and I would say that those were only in times I took +600mg Diphenhydramine.

I enjoy deliriants however and most people don't from what I've seen/heard.

Yea dood Benadryl is great. Today I broke out in hives and took a Benadryl and now I'm all better.

Ziq

I've had nothing but confusing times on benadryl. I'd lay awake in bed all night thinking my balls were overheating or something strange and annoying like that.

i cant get hard even at a low dosage, my dick shrivels up and it burns when i piss the next morning

yeah ive had the same experience before i did acid...but like, now after ive done acid, i tried revisiting benadryl, and i had actual halucinations and almost no delusions like talking to people, instead, i got an eerie trip vision where it would look like the negative of a photograph and parts of my room walls curtain would start morphing around

it was awesomeeeee! but i forgot to breathe a lot and it felt like i was going to die, i was convinced that it actually might be the end and it was scary, the amount of respritory depression

wont touch the stuff again

Yeah sorry about bumping the thread but it should be noted that the respiratory depression is REALLY strong on it and that what made me not like it the few times i didn't. Thought I might actually die.

It's a tough mental battle sometimes. On one side, my internal organs are at stake with possible detrimental overstimulation.

The other side is that I partake in a self-induced experiment of which in many ways is personally educational.

Where is the balance?

Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) will always be a thorn-encrusted kitten in my point of view.

Stop Allergies, then Stop Reality!

...Really? I figured it would kill your sex drive, or at least slow you down. Does it work for women to, or just for men?

@ DIOTRO
I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows there is some potential for inner work. Without a lie I have started to learn how to induce OBEs while under it's influence (Easier with lower doses for me). I've also found with the CEVs (Also the OEVs but more noticable with the CEVs) near complete control as to what your seeing. Very strange drug with very little actual testing done, but in my experiences it has shown a side beyond (or perhaps hidden below) the "Ima gonna get fucked up and see flaming kitties everywhere" kiddiot experience.

@ weirdlittlepotsmoker
It has made it difficult to get hard some of the times but never made it impossible for me, though I didn't try during really high dose tests. The orgasm is intensified on a level that I can only try to explain. It's not just a stronger orgasm, though it is quite stronger in a normal orgasm sense. There seems to be an additional variable that is adding to the experience of the orgasm, almost as if it takes on a tantric orgasm and throws it into the mix.
I think I read on erowid an experience report with it having that effect on both a man and women so I assume it would work for girls too.

I've tried benadryl again a week ago to give it another try, and had the same experience. It's not terribly unpleasant, but it doesn't exactly have me begging for more. It just couch-locks me and makes me uncomfortable in the couch. I have strange dream-like thoughts and visions, but I'm not feeling good enough to enjoy them. It's like being at a carnival with no tickets; you're in the right place, but there's no opportunity for fun.

I suppose it's a drug to take when there's absolutely nothing else and you just want to dissociate for a while.

Oh yeah.. in bed, i'll always forget to breathe for what seems like forever then huge long breaths.

benadryl is alright for hallucinations but since there's no euphoria and I always wake up nauseous it's something i stray away from

except that i'm on 200 mg right now

haha

haha

It's definitely a drug you need to space out a bit, it basically tells you this by your bodies feelings the next day. Leaves you feeling like you need to take a break from it.

A few times a week it max for me and that would be rare. I use it very occasionally for meditation and inner exploration, I've had my fun for the most part with seriously high doses.

I use my soda can recycling money to support my benedryl addiction. its a tough life being gangsta.

I've never had hallucinations when I was on benadryl. That might be due to the fact that I can't stay awake If I take a high enough dose to hallucinate on :p. I've taken about 700mg's before (I'm not completely sure how many I just swallowed a handful of at least 20 I hadn't slept in several days and was delirious even before I took them) and had no hallucinations that I can recall, although I was probably too passed out to experience anything. I've also taken lower doses, anywhere from 150 to 300mg's and haven't experienced hallucinations, but I fall asleep an hour after they kick in every time.

dude I take bedadryl every day almost ! I love it ! its the best shit ever !@

all it takes is 50 mg and I sleep like a baby all night!

lol

Do you notice a tolerance? My first time was amazing but the second and third sucked all I did was sit on my couch and sleep

How long between?

Four days continuously dosed each day, I've noticed a bit of a tolerance, thats when I decided for even my low dose experiments I would take around two days in between doses.

That and worries about my liver/body/ulcers and such.

Oh and I have what appears to be HPPD though I cannot attribute it to benadryl but it definitely makes it more noticeable for the next day or so.

I get things like visual snow, randoms shadows on objects, color changes, swirling/breathing of things when I'm not paying attention and lights (That's how id described them) wipe past my peripherals and directly in front of me too.

I've also done PCP and Shrooms though so... who knows, also been on a variety of meds.

How long between?

About two weeks or so

^ Strange.

I would like to add that it's very obvious that benadryl and similar deleriants have a horrible reputation for a reason.

It's very easy to overdose, most people do not enjoy their experience, there are REAL risks involved, you usually have a bad hangover the next day and most people who do them do not properly research their effects.

However, some people DO enjoy the experience and when done with caution and knowledge can have a great time and I still press my theory that they can be a useful tool for self-exploration.

This is not a party drug and do not expect to have a fun time and "trip out". It can be very scary and you can be a harm to yourself (as well as others) while under their influence.

I suggest for anyone starting (I'm not suggesting that you do) to take very low doses and over a large period of time build on the dose and get yourself acquainted with the effects. If your impatient and decide to do a larger dose for your first or so times that you do indeed get a sitter who knows about the drug and preferably has done it before. Even if you've done low doses many times, you might want to consider a sitter when you decide to do a higher dose. Someone who WILL get help if you need it.
