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.

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.
