View Full Version : Diphenhydramine (1625mg) - Experience Doesnt Matter - 65 Benadryls

This happened in september.
And you guys probably thought as you read the title "What a fucking retard."
Well I didnt take it all at once. The first dose I took was about 250mg (Or 10 benadryls) and 30 minutes went by and I didnt feel a damn thing. So I took ten more and I didnt feel anything. So I kept going up and up... and before I even knew it I blacked out.
Everything that happened that night I can only remember in blocks and heres the order it went in.
1) (I reckon this is when it started) Sitting on my computer listening to At The Drive In- One Arm Scissor.. The music sounded completely different, yet the same, I could hear a song inside the song. I also noticed that the guitar sounded really fucking cheap (thats the only way I can explain it.
2) (This is according to my mom) I bump into something in the living room, waking her up. She comes out and tells me to go to bed. She walks me into my room and watches me lay down and close my eyes.
What I remember is he attacking me, nagging me saying "Whats wrong? Whats wrong with you?" and me being horrified, I tell her "nothing, go back to sleep". I do remember lying down, but something got caught in my mind waking me up so I went into the living room.
3) I walk into my parents room, with what I think is a cat (atleast this is what my memory says) and throw it at her while shes sleeping. She asks me what the hell is wrong with me, and I tell her theres a party going on in the backyard (and this must of happened in a blackout period) and that some people are going to stop by and pick the computer up. She completely freaks out thinking I have either lost my mind or I am very sick. She starts asking me again what is wrong. I tell her to fuck off and mind her own bussiness.
4) she tells me to get ready to go to the hospital. I say I dont want to go, but I get ready anyways. I put on my shoes (Read the end and something interesting will happen with the shoes.) get into the car and off we go.
5) I can barely remember, but I do remember walking into the E.R, sitting down and talking to the doctors/nurses. What I remember is the nurse guys face morphing every so often (Id say every 5 minutes, but the time frame was really fucked up.). He asked me about my drug use, and I told them I smoked pot everyday, shot heroin and smoked meth..... all not true, but the dumb fuckers believed me (would you believe someone who is tripping out of there mind?). I did however tell them about how my friend is a major marijuana trafficker (they didnt believe this, yet they believed everything else.)
6) I remember them sticking the IV's into my arm. and I remember them making me drink liquid charcoal, I couldnt get it down, and i puked it all over the hospital room. and now is when long black out periods started. (Apparently I was in a coma, who the fuck knows)
7) I remember repeatedly trying to get off of my hospital bed, but was hindered by the IV's and EKG equipment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End: The most vivid memories I have is off being able to look out the windows across the room, and seeing the fiery sunrise, Well, there werent any windows in the hospital, none what so ever. Another is classmates from my school laying on the side of my bed.
If I didnt go to the hospital (and had I stopped at say, 27 pills) it would of been wonderful. Hell I wouldnt mind going to the hospital and being hooked up to the IV's, but the charcoal made the experience nasty.
Oh and the shoe thing. When I was leaving the hospital, I didnt have shoes, I asked my mom where my shoes were, and apparently I didnt put them on because the shoelaces were snakes, so I didnt wear them. But in my mind I vividly remember putting my shoes on and having them on when I left the house, and walked into the E.R.
Nothing bad happened to me health wise, and nothing bad happened mentally... but now Liquid charcoal is my enemy.
hahahaha didn't expect this, nice read =D

most intresting read, Id call you stupid but Ive done stupider, case and point, did you just trip on a chemical that is typically labeled a sleep aid or am I thinking of something else?
Why do so many people take drugs, and then after 30 minutes of not feeling anything, decide to take a lot more because they're convinced it isn't going to work? There are very few drugs that start working in only 30 minutes. Some take 2 hours or more.
Don't ever give this guy DOC... or most any psychedelic, for that matter.

Note that I didn't mean you shouldn't ever take any psychedelics, Vi(odin. Just that you need to be more responsible about it first. I think a psychedelic experience could benefit you if approached correctly, as it did me.

You actually made that sound fun :)
how detached you are from the consquences which will result from your actions. Almost like your not you but someone else peering out the eyes of a human being that took 65 Benadryls

It is somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine...reading the reports about deliriant substances. I find you can learn from psychedelics and disassociatives, more so with the former and perhaps the latter if you know how to use them right, but deliriants are just complete insanity.
As far as diphenhydramine goes...I take 50mg and I'm asleep for 12 hours with rather dark, morbid dreams... I don't see why anyone would want to try using this recreationally, but hey I can't make too much fun of it... I almost tried datura myself before reading about it.

anecdotally, i can think of plenty of people who took psychedelics when in hindsight, could have afforded a bit more care and understanding before they did. typically they learned the hard way, but i have to say, the hard way isn't always the worst way.

that image you describe of the fiery sun through the non-existant hospital windows sounds awesome.
but you're still an idiot.

nice way of putting it.

The moral of the story is use real drugs if your looking to get fucked.

I'm fucking speechless. I admit to doing lots of stupid shit with drugs, but what the fuck, there are so many threads and experiences posted about doses of benadryl WAY lower than this.

I'm not going to bother bitching at you, since I can see everyone else has already done so ;) Before you go trying anything else though, I'd definitely do some reading up on the drug.

Reminds me of the guys I let try DOC, after a hour they were complaining about no effects, and I said ok you want to dose more? they ended up with about 4.5 or 5 a piece, They said they would NEVER do it again EVER. To be honest no one that I let try DOC wanted to repeat.

great post \/I(0DIN, i have read the diphenhydramine vault on erowid from first to last and i think i enjoyed reading your post more than most of those. maybe it was the ridiculous dosage or the fact that you told your mom to shut the fuck up and mind her own business. and i don't know how you're feeling now about it; guilty, dumb, angry.. ect but i wouldn't get too caught up over it. you're not stupid, just a little ignorant, which isn't bad at all.
just take this as one of life's freebies. you experienced "real halluciations" and no one suffered any long-term damage. that's something that you don't hear too much when it comes to this stuff.
i'd say you shouldn't worry about other psychedelics, but next time remember that dosage as well as setting are pretty fucking important.
^^^^^haha, and youarewhatyouis was right; normally this thread would have been the last limb that every shark in the ocean is gnawing at in hopes to completely devour [you]. but hey, looks like you got lucky, maybe everyone is busy with exams or something haha, keep an eye out :) the average bluelight shark can smell 65 benadryls from the space realm of a dmt trip.

1) (I reckon this is when it started) Sitting on my computer listening to At The Drive In- One Arm Scissor..
Thats the only thing i found in this trip report that you did that isnt retarded. Im sorry. but 65 benadryls? use your head man.

*jaws music* Na, good report i enjoyed reading. Expected it to be far worse than it read, no real consequences except maybe a bitch-slap from your mother?
Not gonna do that amount again though are you? (well, intend to)
After reading this post, along with the "Getting Drilled Too Far" trip report...
I can safely say benadryl is something you don't want to have a psychedelic trip on.

What I truly fail to understand here, is that the same people that seem to think that it's Ok to take potent Research Chemicals, are the first to jump on the bandwagon and call this guy a fucking retard!
He made a poor decision, but he's not a retard.
I have read reports from people that have taken 2-cX, ro DOC compounds that sounded alot worse, and didn't end very pretty either.
now, to the original poster, VI(ODIN : I have one question.... whats the point of taking 65 benadryls?
What's the point in taking deleriants at all? There are no spiritual, emotional, or intellectual reasons, nor are they just for the pleasure for it. I think the people that seek out these kind of experiences are the sort of people that can barely cope with their own existence. There's really only one word that could adquately describe the use of deleriants - reckless.

Well, first of all, I think people have been quite gentle with the original poster, considering the extreme recklessness.
And there's a very large difference between taking a reasonable dosage of a research chemical which has been shown by hundreds to be relatively safe and beneficial, and taking a massive dosage of a deleriant which is known through countless examples to be very detrimental to one's health and impossible to control yourself on.
But I agree, he's not a retard because he's learned from his experience. And when you read reports of 2C-x and DOx compounds ending badly, it's usually because they, too, took massive doses that are known to be out of the reasonable range that many peoples' experiences have set. Just bec ause these compounds are potent does not really mean anything. If you know the dosage you're taking and you know that it's been found to be safe, I don't see why it matters how small that dosage is.
And before anyone makes this argument, I realize that we don't know the long-term consequences of taking any of these new unresearched chemicals. However, we do know the consequences of taking 65 benadryls.

Hello guys,
I am the one that posted this thread, which seems like it was ions ago. Seems like ions, and yesterday at the same time to be honest. Heres the deal about this, when I was taking the benadryl, I was talking to this guy online, and at the time had almost zero experience with drugs, besides smoking pot. This guy told me about how benadryl could get me high etc etc. So I was under his guidance. I didn't know at the time that it could take up to an hour (depending on stomach content) for the DPH to kick in. So I was completely relying on this guys advice. I told him I wasnt feeling anything after 30 minutes and asked if I could or should take more, and he said yeah go for it, and before I knew it I had taken 65.
I was a naive 15 or 16 yearold, my uncle had died a year previous, and I was open to using whatever I could to change reality. Needless to say I haven't tried tripping (i have tried it as a anxiety reducer, and potentiator of opiates) on benadryl since then. To be honest I think I have brain damage. My thought processes havent been the same, and my memory with regards to putting memory in a sequenced time pattern, is just horrible.
Any kids reading this, be careful. I wouldn't even try tripping on benadryl. The trips are no where near as fun as shrooms or acid (respect these drugs, use in moderation, have a good setting, good surroundings good mindset, good everything, otherwise you are playing with fire), and it feels terrible on your body.
I went from an experimenter to a junkie, to a recovering junkie. I hope someday I will be able to have another shot, but I am on probation for 6 years, so cant be doing that.

HOLY FUCK.
65 FUCKING BENADRYL PILLS?
I've taken no more than about 400mg and that alone was too bizarre for me, felt like DXM, only really nasty in comparison. I don't know how you made it out of this one alive, but it's good to know you made it through. Don't ever do that again.
HA!! This is one of the funniest reports I've read in a while. Good stuff. :D
As far as people wondering why people would take this chemical as it only causes insanity, well, some people like to go crazy 8o While I no longer use deleriants I can say that when I was younger if a drug would make me go nuts with one pill I would take three. But now, years later, I've experienced plenty insanity and no longer want anymore (at least for the time being).
All in all a great report with a good lesson, LEARN from you mistakes.

Tried a whole box when I was younger. One of the most painful experiences I have ever had. Felt like my body was going to sleep and waking up at the same time. Lots of delerium, hallucinations and the type of toxic full body pain that would likely imply an overdose. My legs were having some bizzare convulsions, kind of like your leg has fallen asleep but times that by a million..very painful
I wouldnt be suprised if there was some serious long term damage there. I certainly felt braindamaged after that night of horror.
I have no idea why people try to use Diphenhydramine as a recreational drug. You have to figure lots of stupid young people like me would be reading the net and thinking that they can trip on benedryl when in reality the "trip" you are aiming for is nothing but the delerium associated with a subtoxic dose. Its kind of like when people used to say you would trip from mushrooms because of feverish poisoning but in this case its sorta true.
Hey I'm not blaming anyone. I decided to make a test pilot of myself and that time I got the short end of the stick. At the time I was trying to escape reality just like our friend above.
My advice to everyone reading this is to never try to trip from Diphenhydramine. Theres absolutely nothing pleasant or interesting about it, only alot of delerium and pain.
If you wanna do something trippy and scary that will give you crazy visuals then stick to something safe like salvia.
shit..even robotripping/DXM is a million times better idea
...
That all being said 5-6 benedryls can be pretty good for anxiety. Just don't do anymore than that or try to push it.
thats brutal man. A similar scenario happened to me. I read you could "trip" from benadryll, buy bendaryll, woke up strapped to a hospital bed wishing I had done more research first.
The creepy mind set of this drug makes me avoid it, even at 150mg i see snakes and flies on the walls.

What's all the hating about?
I can honestly say that my most rewarding (as far as learning something + taking it over into real life) experience i have had was off of diphenhydramine..
OK.. maybe not.. MDMA.. but i still got a terrifying lesson which i do not regret learnin from diphenhydramine.
