1. Anything with codeine in it does that to me.
It knocks me right on my ass and then I have really bizarre dreams.

3. My dreams seem really long,
It is only Benadryl that does this, no other allergy meds.


I wonder what is in this stuff.

2. We had this discussion before.
Are you using the bright pink tabs? Because I wondered if the pink dye wasn’t part of the problem. I switched to capsules and dye free gel caps and it solved the problem. I had night terrors.

6. You to,
I was using up my last few pink pills but I will go to CVS and buy some capsules.

I only use Benadryl if nothing else works.

My eyes have been so itchy and watery.


I escaped to the beach for weekend to give my eyes a break.

11. Yes, me too.
Night terrors are scary; my doc just gave me Trazodone. It helped, but I didn’t like the hassle of a prescription drug. I switched to tryptophan and it usually works, if it doesn’t then I take a dye free Benadryl. Yes, switch to the capsules. Good you could get to the beach!

4. I take it every night,
along with oxycodone, and I have really interesting dreams.

Last night, I was having dinner with Dick Cheney, who seemed to like me a lot, and I ended up standing at the end of one of the floors in my old college dorm, yelling that I was there, and Dick was standing behind me, smiling.

I kept wondering how he knew my name.

But, he was very nice..................

7. In one of my dreams I was on a road trip in our rv with our Republican neighbors.
This dream went on forever.

This would by my version of hell.

5. I can't take Benadryl.
It makes me sleepy drunk. I hate it.

13. Last week my brother took some
and it totally fucked him up for a whole day -- he was dizzy and nauseated, couldn't really function until the next day. He took a normal dose along with something else, I think Sudafed.

14. I can't take any antihistamines.
Probably because of my thyroid disease. Fortunately, my seasonal allergies are pretty minimal and respond to nasal sprays.

16. I think it is because it is really dry here and windy.
This has been the worst year for allergies.

17. I believe it. People who suffer from seasonal allergies here
are miserable this time of year. I have a mild mold allergy, but nothing that serious.


I'm sorry you're suffering! Hope you feel better soon.

:hug:

20. The benadryl helps and I can always go the beach on weekends.
It think it would help if we could just get some good rain.

The air needs a good washing.

18. Sounds good.
I wouldn't mind if my dreams were about two certain people.

I would take the pink pills for that.:rofl:

21. I rarely sleep more than an hour straight
which is what I attribute benadryl's effect on my dreaming. Because it makes me sleep more soundly, I have very vivid dreams.

I dont take it often, but I do notice the wild dreams I have when I take it. The only thing I have to be wary about is that I am a sleepwalker, and benedryl or anything else that makes me sleep soundly really increases that.
