| Add Benadryl review Had very poor success with this drug for sleep assistance. Mostly groggy in the morning with poor sleep benefit. Ive been taking this medication for the past five years and it makes me urinate often, and its very dependant i can't sleep without it. I have been taking this for years. I love the fact that I sleep. I have no plans of going off if it. I just take this none of the sleep aids that have the extra pain medication in it. None of the PM drugs with benadryl. I've been taking one a night for at least a year. It definitely helps and I have experienced no side effects. I just started using benadryl to try and sleep. It wasn't very effective and it caused extreme nausea. I won't use it again. | Add Dimenhydrinate review I used this treatment for stage fright. I am a musician and writer. This treatment works beautifully for stage fright. I noticed that the treatment improves my ability to concentrate while playing alone as well as in public. The effect of sedation is significant but worth it. I used dimenhydrinate for a mild sedative on myself (100mg or so a night) as a sleeping pill. I am really commenting here to ask if there are any negative effects this can possibly have on your brain, long-term? | |||
