There aren't any serious side effects from taking diphenhydramine once daily for a long time. Why are you taking it? If for allergy it is probably ok however if you are taking it for a sleep problem there are more effective short term products available. Speak to your doctor if you are concerned.
See:http://www.drugs.com/cdi/diphenhydramine-capsules.html
