Diphenhydramine addiction!!

Im psychologically addicted to diphenhydramine since 4 years now...Anyone has been or currently addicted to this stuff? It seems to be an extremely rare addiction..

You can not become addicted to diphenhydramine. You can become dependant on it. It is the generic name for benadryl. I used to take it all the time and now it doesn't work on me anymore. The only symptom you will get from stopping it is sleep problems and insomnia.

How many benadrly do you take a day, I know someone who takes 9 to 10
every night.  I 'm very scared for hime?  Can you share you r afe and about how many
you take, did you build up a tolerance to them??

isnt that the same as nose spray? you can become dependent on that also.

Tolerance would be an understatement. Im not proud of it, but now I take up to 2000mg/day ....(which equals to 80 x25 mg benadryl pills). I can work, I do sports, and NO ONE knows that I take pills...the tolerance can be extreme with this ****.

When I try to stop I quickly become EXTREMELY  depressed (diphenhydramine was the precursor of prozac).  Hell trust me,  this stuff is a chemical evil. That is pure ********, but I still cant stop doing it by myself, and thats truly scary. This is the most depressant/painful drug addiction ever.

i also take 1200mg daily and terrified of coming off them. what's best way to wean off such a high dose?

I have hepatitis C and can not currently afford to see a doctor for it.  I have terrible insomnia and take 75 mg of diphenhydramine HCL(Benadryl) each night to help me sleep. Is this a safe medication to take?

They cut ''China White Heroin.'' with the stuff. A huge ratio too since Heroin can be ''Cut.'' so much as compared to other drugs. Nowadays people cut theyre Cocaine with things to ''Enhance.'' the high they get. Heroin is cut to lower it's potency. Because the drug is derived from natural sources it's potency & concentration levels are out of the roof. So I would have to say NO Diphenhydramine is not addictive. Although to some it makes them very ''Drogey.'' so that on top of Heroin is always been a factor in overdose's. Smarter drug dealers who know they have a ''Good Product.'' don't want the reputation as the '''Grim Reaper Of Heroin.'' so they use other mixtures of cut that are more natural & can stretch the drug further are, ''Baby Milk Sugar Laxitive.'' Vitamin- b12 Or with  Benzodianzepines ''Benzos.'' that are white such as 2mg Xanax bars,Clonapin Ativan, Lorazapam e.t.c. witch also is a cut that helps the grim reaper with his task of overdose & death. Benzos are a very powerfull Anti-anxiety medicine that comes in different names shapes & sizes but is the main ingrediant in all. Although Benzos are extremly powerfull & can cause blackouts & regular stints of short term memory loss. Not even Xanax the most powerfull Xanax can kill anyone. Unless they ate hundereds over a period of 12 hours but that would be impossible because long before you reach 100 a passout/blackout is gaurenteed. But when Benzos are mixed with alcohol & also Opiates such as Heroin then they can become a VERY FATAL COCKTAIL. No BENADRYL IS NOT ADDICTIVE...
