    Does Benadryl affect people differently? I’ve been taking this all my life, and all it does is stop my allergic reactions and put me to sleep. Some people are talking like they dropped acid.

      A “recreational” dose is somewhere around 300 to 600 mg. Note, that it is definitely not a fun experience.

            This is the answer I was kind of looking for since I remember reading about “recreational use” of this substance and many people seemed to agree about the spiders, like it was the common hallucination. I never overtook these but it seemed like a strange phenomenon to me.

              Its really just dark shadows, but our minds manifest our fears from the shadows, which tends to be spiders. “Fun” stuff!

      I get the opposite from sleep. I wake up as if I took a stimulant. I get nervous, anxious, and energetic. I hate taking Benadryl.
