i've been doing benadryl recreationally for almost two years and all that has come out of it are nightmares, late night hospital trips, and trauma. i was homeless this year from february-september living in my car, and throughout that time i would take benadryl in my car every night. i found a place to park my car on the side of a factory building, and that's where i would park at and sleep every night.

my benadryl addiction took over my life, i would spend all of my time researching benadryl, benadryl trip reports and case studies, and on occasion i would share my worst trip reports, which funnily enough, some went viral.

i have hallucinated a lot of things that i will never be able to forget, i saw my dead mother and i saw my childhood cat. i almost wrecked my car one night because i was in severe benadryl induced delirium and i thought i had to move my car because i hallucinated a police officer knocking on my window, i drove over a curb and a trashcan to get to the next parking lot over.

ive seen spiders as big as a tire, snakes as long as a parking lot, cockroaches, scorpions, other homeless people, my dead mother, dogs, cats, wolves.. one night i drove myself to the hospital off 700mg. i kept having to stop because a family of four with two toddlers would cross the street, then i would remember it's 4am, and i would drive into them and they would dissolve

to this day i have a hard time telling what is real or not, i still see shadow people walking on my walls, i still see spiders running down my ceiling ,

i remember the first night i ever took a gram of benadryl, everyone always assumes i took that dose to hurt myself, when i actually did it recreationally, i don't know how it didn't kill me, even after the seizure. then the next night i did a gram and a half. i don't know how i survived. there's reports of people dying on way less than that.

i lost a lot of friends due to my benadryl usage, but at the same time i don't really care; they would call my addiction corny because it was allergy medicine. if they hallucinated cicadas buzzing in their hair, under their pillow, under their bed; spiders running up and down everywhere you look, your friend maybe states over walking into your room and sitting on your bed and you're so delirious you just start talking to them like its normal for them to be there and they respond and then their face melts in the middle of their sentence and the little jerks from the myoclonic seizures, waiting for a grand mal seizure that you don't know for sure is going to happen, not being able to move your body because it's so heavy, heart beating irregularly, heart beating so slow you can't feel your pulse, your entire body turning red and purple and hearing someone calling your name so you open your door and see a family member but then you remember it's 2 am and they dissolve. then it wouldn't be corny to you

i will do benadryl literally until i die, and it's really sad because ive tried many times to get clean and i can't and now i have a permanent heart arrhythmia and raynauds syndrome . and my nose is so fucked up and always bleeds because benadryl dried it out so much.

i look pale and dead now

Allegedly you can od on Benadryl. Not true, or you're not oding each time?
the "high" you get from benadryl (delirium, body heaviness, hallucinations) is actually just anticholinergic toxidrome. so basically each time i use benadryl, the "high" i get is literally just the side effects from an overdose. the thing is, each trip could be your last it's like a gamble lol

I did this maybe 10 times total and could never get that into it. The idea of hallucinating spiders is cool but it's not worth the dysphoria. I remember lying down with my eyes closed and hearing crazy realistic auditory hallucinations mocking me. It's like giving yourself schizophrenia for the night and I wasn't keen on it.

I wonder how you're able to push through that feeling to enjoy the high.

The auditorial hallucinations are so weird, especially when they respond to your thoughts like youre saying them out loud. I remember one specific trip, a robotic voice kept telling me to kill myself over and over, followed by a laugh track each time

I wonder too
