I can't take anymore of anything. So I took 13 Benadryl all at once an hour ago. I feel incredibly heavy and dizzy.

From what I'm aware that doesn't really sound like a reliable suicide method. But anyway I wish you the best of luck.

Yeah, that's not going to kill you. At best you are just going to feel more heavy and dizzy as the hours pass, at worse you go through straight up psychosis, delirium, convulsions, organ damage, etc. Death is unlikely. It's not a very effective method.
i'm in australia, what is benadryl? i don't know how you're feeling? have u done this before? i've had overdoses and had to go to the ED, vomit, etc..

It's a type of over the counter medication used to treat allergies, insomnia, and cold symptoms.
thank you, seems we have it here. i didn't think of these as potentially lethal but dk how they're forumlated.

Um, that will not kill you. I hope you are ok when you wake up.
From a quick Google, so it might not be accurate:
Benadryl is diphenhydramine.

I guess anything is technically potentially lethal, but some things you would need to take insane amounts of in order to die. Benadryl is one of them. A lethal does is around 20 to 40 mg per kg for adults.

So, that's not actually going to kill you. I used to do that on a random Saturday afternoon lol, chances are you might pass out/feel dizzy, maybe hallucinate, but not much else.
You really shouldn't try to OD on large amounts of benadryl. Please read past posts on benadryl and diphenhydramine. It's very unpleasant and dangerous, but not deadly. You'll just end up miserable and possibly with organ damage. A hospital would likely hold you for an inpatient psych evaluation (against your wishes) as well. Using even small amounts of benadryl for a long period of time can also give you bad anxiety, even though it seems like it helps in the short term.
