Ralphie ★ Posted June 8, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2021 I got the dang jingle stuck in my head! I googled it and it has the same active ingredient as Benadryl. Well shit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted June 8, 2021 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2021 I never knew my wife had trouble sleeping until I cleaned out her medicine cabinet. All over the counter stuff, not much missing out of any of the packages. Must not have worked. Every time I woke up in the night she seemed to be sleeping.

maddmaxx ★ Posted June 8, 2021 Share #5 Posted June 8, 2021 They gave me a spootful of benadryl in the ambulance ride after I was attacked by the bees. I woke up briefly in the ER and the doc said "don't fight it, just go back to sleep". After a few hours I woke up and since I hadn't died they sent me home with instructions to take it easy for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The active ingredients are ones that don't require super-strict government regulations. The holistic ones are usually just melatonin; others have some mild drowsy stuff like Benadryl. And note that for a few people in this world, Benadryl does the complete opposite of drowsy and sends them bouncing off the walls. I tried melatonin; it was worthless for me. Ambien does the trick, but I don't need it as much as I used to. Once a week absolute tops, usually Sunday night when the weekend's ending. As for Benadryl and bee stings, it's not uncommon. It's a fairly safe antihistamine (primary effect); the drowsy effect often helps calm as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted June 8, 2021 Share #9 Posted June 8, 2021 My wife did go through a bunch of nighttime Tylenol. I just thought she had it for aches and pains. One time I took some for pain in the afternoon. I couldn’t keep my eyes open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
