Does it really do all that?
Yes but for most people it's a living nightmare that can end up in hospital
Auditory hallucinations are most common. The sounds of flies buzzing around your head non-stop, creatures climbing up the walls/ceilings
Also, fun fact, there is a couple mnemonica for anticholinergic poisoning and they go:
red as a beet, dry as a bone, blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, hot as a hare, and full as a flask
But in pharmacy school we mostly said:
“No See, No Pee, No Spit, No Shit”
OP failed to mention the role Benadryl played in Bill Cosby's social life.
Take 600mg (each pill is 25mg) and yes it will.
You shouldn't be taking deleriants if you want to see some shit. Never done it myself but I've heard that the hallucinations are so vivid that you can be convinced they're real. Hard pass for me.
Take psychedelics instead. At least on those, you're aware that you're tripping.
Tbh nobody should take delerients for recreation lol, they will make you delerious and eventually schizophrenic.
Stick to the shrooms and acid if you want to see some shit
I started taking zzzquil regularly lately. Reading all these comments made me think... Shit. Oh well, not like I'll remember them
Why does American Benadryl have this Diphenhydramine in, instead of Cetirizine?
We have both. I prefer the dram.
Benadryl has been a brand in the US for decades longer than Cetirizine has even been in use, and they never changed the active ingredient when new antihistamines became available. Good thing too, cetirizine doesn't do shit for my allergies compared to DPH, and most other allergy med brands use cetirizine.
That's sold as Zyrtec here
Now do Dramamine
Works great for my car sickness tell you what
Oh that makes me feel old
You need to take more than one for that
So, don't leave us hanging: how many?
One time I took 8 because the first 6 weren't helping with my allergies, and I got auditory hallucinations
safe
Lol. Lmao.
DPH is scary shit.
I'm not speaking from experience or anything. Nor about the "dark" trip reports. I'm talking about the stories of addiction, permanent debilitating brain damage, and death.
It's pretty fucked that LSD, psilocybin, and THC are schedule I in the U.S. while this shit doesn't require a prescription.
(Not that I think DPH should require a prescription. More that psychedelics like LSD and psilocybin should be accessible recreationally.)
Here in Belgium, even ibuprofin needs a prescription. Certainly DPH.
Then again, here weed is still illegal (possession of 3g decriminalized) and the actually very beneficial stuff like LSD and psilocybin are also highly illegal.
You need a prescription for ibuprofen? That's way too far imo.
Well ibuprofin is pretty damaging to your liver depending on conditions and many people take it without food which is much more damaging than with food.
That being said, you can call for a prescription and a 50 pack of it is like 0.50€ lol
Are you thinking of acetaminophen? Without googling, my head canon says that acetaminophen damages the liver, while ibuprofen damages the kidneys. But I could be way off.
You need a prescription for pills of 600mg ibuprofen. 400mg is available over the counter without prescription at any pharmacy. So you could just do 1,5 pills of 400mg and not have a prescription.

Same in the USA for doses that high
I've never seen anything over 200mg
Honestly 100mg is all I see on the shelves but I haven’t looked.
I’ve been prescribed 600 and 800mg in the past.
Nah, those ibuprofen trips are deadly
The issue is the potential risk of severe (and potentially fatal) side effects if ibuprofen is taken regularly, especially at high dosages. You could argue that people have a right to damage their own bodies in whatever way they wish, but that's the reasoning.
Yeah. It's basically as good as perfectly safe if you don't overdose it daily. Same with paracetamol.
Is it the side effects of medication itself or the pain source remaining untreated?
The medication itself can (very rarely, it wouldn't be on OTC if severe side effects were common) cause kidney damage.
Thank you. I just warned my wife. She's going through a lot of ibuprofen.
It's not common, so don't panic. But if anyone needs painkillers regularly I'd strongly advise consulting a physician about it, even if the source of the pain is known and harmless.
Edit - just to be very clear: I'm not a doctor or other medical professional. I just read the paperwork that's included with the medicine I take.
