In reply to Ecstasy and the use of Benadryl the next morning, posted by alberto on August 31, 2002, at 0:50:18
> Does anyone know whether it is safe to use benadryl to counter the effects of using ecstasy? If you use ecstasy late into the night and then are unable to sleep at, say, 7 am, is it safe to use benadryl as a method of being able to sleep? I cannot seem to find anything that addresses this.
Yes, it is safe to use benadryl (or something like nyquil or tylenol pm) on the MDMA comedown.
However, it is ideal to use a benzo such as valium, klonopin, xanax, ativan etc -- a benzo works much better.
After the benzos, other prescription sleep/hypnotic meds like ambien, sonata, seroquel, or even stuff like remeron or trazadone are better than the OTC stuff.
In the future, you might want to ask questions of this nature at www.bluelight.nu -- you'll recieve far less criticism.
I must say I am a little....shocked...by the strength of some of the responses. Ah well, to each his own.
Btw, the advice given on taking SSRIs and antioxidants following MDMA use is wise. It can substantially attenuate neurotoxicity.
