Diphenhydramine

[bluesleep]

Last year I abused diphenhydramine hard on a daily basis. I mean 20-30 50 mg capsules every day. It didn't do me any harm but it disconected me from reality and that's why I did it for many months. One time I took 50. I usually mixed it with a bit of alcohol.

Is there a combination of diphenhydramine with something else that can kill you? I think about it because it's cheap and very easy to get in large ammounts.

it's cheap and very easy to get in large ammounts.

this should already tell you that it will either not work or may be very painful. i only know the combination dph+dxm for crazy trips, but for ctb i would suggest a completely different combination. dph is a deliriant that acts the same as poisoning with plants from the nightshade family like the angels trumpet. that plant is way more poisonous and even cheaper to get, but like i said it won't be peaceful.

didn't u see spiders and lots of other bug hallucinations people usually get from dph, angels trumpet, or not sleeping?

I didn't see spiders or anything like that. I got hallucinations the first few times though, then nothing at all, just feeling sleepy and my heart beating faster.

There are a number of case reports on the internet, i'm going to read some of them to find out what it might be like.

This is a survey from Virginia it suggests that diphenhydramine was the 3rd most commonly used poison for completed poisoning attempts

It's highly unlikely you'll be able to CTB with Diphenhydramine. There are plenty of other methods you can find here. OD'ing on benadryl is just going to result in misery.

Apparently it might take a few days.

I used to trip on diphenhydramine all the time. About 300 to 400 mg or 8 pills at a time. Music sounded like heaven and angelic voices singing. Dry throat was bad. I did see spiders and even snakes. One time hallucinated my dead grandmother. Porn was out of this world. I dont think ctb with it is possible

 

[fister]

Definitely not with 400mg it seems all the case reports i read there were at least 3g diphenhydramine

My sister works in an ER at a local hospital. She tells me all kinds if stories about her job.These DXM and diphenhydramine ODs are so common. Many don't die BUT the ones that do have alcohol in their system and a strong antiemetic almost always die. But it has to be copious amounts of booze. A few beers won't cut it. If you don't take a strong antiemetic you will just throw it all up and waste your tine.

That has got to be a terrible death, having a bad trip until you die.

you may not refer to it as a bad trip since nightshade "poisons" act very tricky. maybe you just have some psychotic days or even a week, walking like on highdose benzos, talking all day long with non existing people who don't answer or disappear immediately. to me this sounds not even fun to trip

There are some who have died this way, but like Acetaminophen overdose it's very unreliable and would take a long time. It would be more peaceful than Acetaminophen though, as you would probably be knocked out through most of the bad symptoms of the overdose. It says here that 55-64% experience somnolence and that coma was more likely if you take more than 1.5g: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11204550

Best case scenario you might lose consciousness and suffer cardiac arrest, though it could take up to 16 hours just to lose consciousness and 72 hours for death to occur: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ams2.351

I've tried before and it didn't work. Although I only took 30. I just had tachycardia for a couple of days, delusions, and I had to have fluids in an IV because I was so dehydrated.

I got some zofran because i have cancer. It worked pretty well for its legitimate use so I asked for some.

Rosie you sure didn't take enough and yeah i think that is the expected result. Ten times the amount would have done you in without intervention, according to the papers I read a few weeks ago.

When I was younger my mom threw a bottle of risperdal at me and told me to kill myself. I didn't remember much of the episode. Different substance.

One report was a guy found in hotel room he checked into 2 days earlier. Didnt recall if there was ethanol involved though.
