Experiences with

Benadryl

Anyone use children’s Benadryl or Unisom to help sleep? Or another remedy? My doctor actually suggested the children’s Benadryl but it was the first time I ever saw him, he is a family med doc and may not have been aware yet that I have controlled afib…

Ive tried atarax and benadryl no help any suggestions?

The ER Dr. said he wanted to give me Benadryl to calm me down but I told him I had afib and couldn't take it but the nurse said they have a lot of veterans with afib and it caused no problem's at all so I gave in and got the shot.

Benadryl to help with sleep?

Benadryl marginally effective. Most of my torso and arms covered. Will this moderate or go away over time. My cll not active just enlarged nodes in my abdomen.

Giving her Benadryl, antibiotics and cough syrup medicine. She’s doing a little better this morning, poor little girl 🥺. She’s a huge part of my life 🥰. My foot is almost healed on the bottom and now it’s Pt time for surgery on toes. Hope everyone is doing well 🙏👍🏼😉

I would like to know if i can take Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) for sleep if i have CKD stage 3B? The research on this is very confusing. Some sites say it's OK; others say it's bad. Any other suggestions for sleep aids?

I've tried, Benadryl, valarian, clemastine, and meletonin and they either aggravate my afib or just don't work. I might need to have a doctor call in a prescription as the over the counters don't seem to fit. Any thoughts?

Took benadryl and itchy skin subsided by end of day. No one is sure if it it is an allergic reaction. Recommend to stop and try a few days later and see if same things happens. Any thoughts? Has this happened to anyone else or experienced any of the severe side effects like blood clots? Thanks!

They gave me IV benadryl before infusion started to combat any reactions. I did fine, but sleepy the rest of the day. I really was happy to finally get the first one out of the way. Today I woke up feeling very anxious. I read that my body needs to get use to the added iron/energy in my system.

Tried otc benadryl antihistamins, made it worse!How can I convince my psychiatrist to prescribe clonazepam?

I follow the advise of the pharmacist and put ice each hours days and night, hydroxyzine 1% twice a day, 40 mg of cetirizine and benadryl for the first weeks without any change. I got a prescription for a topicort cream. No change after an other week.

The doctors and nurses suggested benadryl. That hasn't worked either. What does everyone else use on a daily basis to prevent infection at the exit site? Thank you Renee

Normally I took benadryl to sleep. I took benadryl at 10pm with lithium. When I took my Cymbalta in the morning, it would immediately put me back to sleep and I'd wake up at 3pm. When I took Cymbalta in the morning I'd get a headache and my head wasn't straight. Slight drowsy.

They had been giving me IV steriods and benadryl. My MO came in today and said we are going to change things up, NO STERIODS. He said the odds of having a reaction to the cancer drug was less than 10%. So he sent me home and said to monitor BP and temp.

I took a Benadryl just in case it was a reaction. It did go away. I have recently noticed I am not really hungry and have lost some weight. I also have this nervousness feeling (like my insides are jumping) that I never had before the infusion. I did read the side affects of the drugs..

First, they will insert the IV and give you Benadryl (which will make you sleepy so take advantage, get comfy, and nap), aspirin, and medrol (steroid). Once you finish the steroid bag, they will hang the Ocrevus bag for your infusion.

I have in recent years used Benadryl as a means of controlling it. Since being on prednisolone I haven't noticed any symptoms. For this I am grateful but have some of my issues been related to hay fever being a part of my system and trying to come through but being suppressed by pred?

The administering nurse had infused me with steroids and Benadryl, where after about 10-15 minutes I was finally able to talk and breath again. Immediately after which, I fell right to sleep.

I was taking Benadryl a couple days and it was perfect, out like a light. I read Benadryl may not be safe for long term use with liver disease/cirrhosis. I had melatonin in my hand ready to take when I had second thoughts and looked it up and read it may not be taken with prednisone.
