anyone mind posting how often they can take benadryl before they become immune to it? i used it as a sleep aid for a week and by like day 6 i wasn't sleeping seems like for it to be effective you can use it maybe 3-4 times a month

a dog from hell posted:It worked very well for me as a teenager and now I'm pretty sure it's 100% placebo. I don't take it often, it's just junk. i think 25-50 mg really is an effective sleep aid, you just cannot take antihistamines often if your life is not totally poo poo, and you only have 2-3 nights a week you absolutely cannot sleep, 1 night of smoking or a couple drinks, 1 night of benadryl, and 1 night of a script might be a safe way to do it but i dont know a lot of doctors will openly admit the richest man alive cannot buy sleep, the better the sleeping pills the bigger the risk, long term benzos give people loving dementia not to mention guaranteed depression, massive addiction, all the safe options build up a tolerance quickly

THE DOG HOUSE posted:Its highly erratic and frankly not a great sleep aid. Tolerance builds very quickly (plenty take it every day during the day for allergies). i worry about ambien only because though it's technically not a benzo, it still works via GABA receptors and they actually use the same drug to save you if you OD on ambien as they do for any benzo overdose, so if i had to guess without enough data to actually prove it: it still probably long term makes people depressed, makes it so your REM sleep suffers, and leads to dementia. just an educated guess though. i am curious how well ambien would work for sleep or anxiety for someone already super tolerant to benzos though
