I think it's a safe drug taken as directed.
I take it rarely for sleep so I'm talking 25-50 mgs. once a day. I find for a few days it's fine. After consistent use for more than, say three nights, I have a feeling of a cummulative lethergy - this lack of motivation can cause me to feel down as I don't get done what I need to get done without more effort than usual.
Lack of motivation and drive along with tireness are the hallmarks of my depression symptoms so in that regard I'll have to say I do believe it worsens my depression symptoms. Whether I believe there's a connection as to if the Benedryl is thwarting or altering the effects of the AD I take, I really don't know the answer to that. I know the AD does not seem to trump the Benedryl effects.
