Hey, Kerry
Yes, benadryl is mainly used as an anti-itch antihistamine & a cough med for kids.
It is used some times for EPS, but has the dis advantage of needing 3x a day dosage. this can make dosage easier if the sy are mild. usual dose 25mg TID.
It is an easy to get, cheap, over the counter med. it is a little more sedating than some of the other meds Cam listed.
EPS & dystonia are not the same & one may have both side effects at the same time.
hope you are better soon.
