That much benadryl would put me out for a week 😱
@Kurtroedeger Yeah, don't use Benadryl for allergies, but good for horsies!
@Fiikus_goddess one teeny tiny little benadryl pill had me almost fall asleep while standing up. 6 of them and they could probably do surgery on me without me waking.
@Fiikus_goddess @Kurtroedeger Yikes. I had not heard the date rape piece. I had heard correlation with serious issues of cognition and memory.
I think it is the drowsiness cpmbined with alcohol kind of dste rape drug reaction. It won't cause similar memory issues as some other drugs.
But here is a list of side effects from allergists IG post
@Fiikus_goddess @Kurtroedeger Ah, with alcohol, yeah, of courseI can see that. There was a University of Washington study published in JAMA a few years agothat found that "Taking an anticholinergic for the equivalent of three years or more was associated with a 54% higher dementia risk than taking the same dose for three months or less."

@Kurtroedeger Me, like many neurodivergents, perk up from benadryl. But I have heard it being used as a date rape drug too.
But the antihistamine effect lasts only 8 hours and it is a very problematic with the side-effects to many. 1. gen antihistamines aren't really considered as good medicine anymore.
Other than treating gastroparesis, which is why I take it some times.
But keep the carrot in mind for next root canal! 😂
