I'm self medicating with Benadryl right now until I can get my prn meds filled again and I feel terrible this morning. I took four when I got home, two before bed, and three at 2am when I hadn't slept yet. I don't think I should have taken those three because now my head hurts like crazy and I feel hungover but I'm having an anxiety attack so I can't lay down and sleep.

This is why I would never take an actual sleep med. I'm too sensitive to this stuff.

Ever gotten a hungover feeling from your sleep meds?

hubby thinks i WANT to go back to inpatient! Couldn't be further from the truth. i want to get an AP to get down from this race track that my mind is on. but i'm afraid. i am afraid they will send me inpatient if they can read my thoughts because my thoughts are flooding out into the open air. i don't know how to sew my mouth shut anymore around doctors. i used to be an oyster firmly clasped protecting my pearl but not anymore. they have a hypnotizing effect affecting me greatly.

i feel magical like i can help anyone if they'll just let me but who's left to help me if i can't hold on? incoherent. ink - coherent on the page. just get me down doctor. just get me down. just get me down. i'm starting to go blind up here i can't see the beautiful earth and even though i'm magic i can't keep it up much longer.

yeah. Trazedone and Nyquil did it for me. With Trazedone I'd be so stoned in the mornings sometimes. I couldn't walk straight and then texted my stepmom and she thought I might be drunk! As for Nyquil, I thought the walls were bubbling and at one point started talking to a self portrait and thought it started talking back.

I hallucinate on NyQuil also. Even at the normal dose.

i Had a 600 pill count generic bottle of Benadryl.

I took so much of it, it's a great sedative.

I use to take 100mg every night almost, upward to the lethal does about 500mg plus.

Benadryl gives me a hangover too but I still take it some times. Plus I get allergies. I've heard it's very hard on the liver. Could be more toxic than plenty of anti anxiety & sleep aid meds. Worth looking into. I'm gonna guess jesusplay u may have meant toxic rather than lethal.
