Yeah. It was pretty scary when I realized how many he'd taken. The psychiatric nurse was alarmed and told me to call poison control. The poison control guy was almost scolding me, saying he was going to kill himself with the Benadryl if we didn't do something. That's why I'm the gatekeeper. Usually I leave 4 on top of the microwave when I leave the house in the morning. That's his limit for the day. I noticed when I got home last night that he hadn't taken the four I left yesterday. So it seems like as the dosage of the Zyprexa goes down, he doesn't need it. I think somehow the Benadryl was counteracting the side effects of the Zyprexa?
