Benadryl overdose

[Rose190021]

Recently I took an overdose of Benadryl. I took 30 of them making a total of 750mg. I've never done this before and I didn't know how it would affect me. But this is not an effective way to CTB. This will not work even at higher doses. I had sinus tach, delusions, and spent 48 hrs in the ICU. At higher doses of overdose you have seizures, and high blood pressure. This also makes you very dehydrated. I'm just sharing my experience to help others in there journey.

I think it often does work at 4g+ with high reliability but it is widely regarded as an uncomfortable way.

no no no... overdosing on OTC pills does not work

I took approximately 330 diphenhydramine tablets and had a very painful experience that included seizures and coma. It is not a peaceful method at all.

You are claiming people don't die from diphenhydramine?

Generally speaking, no.

 

[stellabelle]

Do you know which tablets? Did you buy them in a physical pharmacy?

25mg generic brand Rexall diphenhydramine tablets, purchased from a local store.

Regardless you must have been "saved." 330 of even 10mg pills should have almost guaranteed death.

I was "saved" due to medical intervention. If I had waited longer, I'd be gone. In any case, it was still a very painful, miserable experience that I would not recommend even to the most desperate of souls. It hurts like hell.

Holy crap that is 8.2g if you got it all down. 4g is listed as almost certainly fatal although unpleasant. I was wondering if there was a level of overdose that would be so potent you wouldn't go through the unpleasant part. I was assuming it would be like 10g or so but apparently not, unless you are particularly large or stopped before getting them all down. Or were you acclimated to the drug? You definitely would want to clear your tolerance first. I have 50g of concentrated diphenhydramine I got for like $15 on Amazon but now I'm thinking there might not be any good amount to take. I mean I could get like 20g, but who the fuck knows what would happen.

I did not have a tolerance to it prior to the overdose. I was able to swallow them all - 330 is the approximate number, the bottle which I had taken some from prior to the incident had 365 tablets. 330 is the lower estimate. I had counted them, but I don't really remember much of that night other than separating them into piles of four, and taking every pile until they were gone. I was conscious for quite a while.

You'd probably be better off with sodium nitrite, in all honesty.

Does Walmart sell sodium nitrite? They show it on their online store and apparently it's also available in the grocery section for curing meat. Is the sn sold to cure meat too contaminated/diluted to be effective?

It's sold in the form of a bright pink salt at Walmart.

I checked a store today and they do not. Also, 99% pure SN is needed.

Towards the end of the 2017, I took a huge bottle of diphenhydramine and discovered that tablets were water-soluble. I poured them all into water. I think it was about 15-20g of diphenhydramine liquid, but I was too afraid to drink it. I put it in the fridge and thought I'd have the courage later, but then I just disposed of it as I got too scared.

I did thirty two and yeah I don't recommend it you would have to take more of it I have trazodone but I don't have enough of it to OD to death but I wouldn't recommend that either that is why I would prefer a shotgun to the back of the skull that would be my preferred method or a painless way to go but I don't have a partner and more or less we decided to live for family and friends well me family and friends but deep down inside I want to die even though I can't CTB
