In reply to 10 benadryl all at once, posted by dondon on August 23, 2006, at 20:35:44
> I was taking 10 benadryl all at once and i was doing it everyday and i feel like i injured my body. Is this self injurious behavior?
I can't reach into your psyche, and this perhaps isn't the appropriate part of the board, I don't know what Dr. Bob would categorize it as, but is there a reason for 250mg of benadryl ? Do you feel that anxious and are searching for a OTC solution ? I can't say whether its injurious over the long term, I don't know how long you've been taking it, but generally 200mg is about the limit, used in anticholinergic support for antipsychotics or for parkinsonism.
It is such an ancient medication that except for ointments and the occasional OTC usage there is no need for what is a horse pill.
As mentioned, for anxiety, Atarax would be better if you are seeking the same category. Remember either will dry you out considerably.
If its for antipsychotic alleviation, Akineton and Artane are far better.
But if its just to "leave this world" for a period of time, I would have to self-reflect on why exactly. It certainly isn't the best way of stabilizing mood. I can't diagnose you nor anyone else, over the net.Best wishes
