Sominex (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: Sominex is a great mild sedative. Although it does have a bit fo a hangover effect in the morning, this typically only lasts an hour or so. I've been taking this stuff nightly for about a week and it's the best over the counter stuff you can get for sleep.

Simply Sleep (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: This stuff works ridiculously well. The first time I took it I woke up the next morning and I was instantly wide awake and full of energy it's like nothing I've ever had before. Absolutely no drowsiness carrying on to the next day.

Compoz Nighttime Sleep Aid (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: After trying several different sleeping aids, I ran across Compoz in K-Mart. I hadn't seen it anywhere else so I thought I would give it a try. I got a good nights sleep for the first time in quite a while. I still take it occasionally and still get that qood night of sleep. You can't take it every night for an extended period of time or it won't work as well, I can promise you that.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: After having scripts for lots of different benzodiazepines and sleeping pills, I still rely on this a couple times a month. The ONLY problem is after a couple of days it loses it's effectiveness. It is perfect for sleep and not feeling drugged.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: I find that this causes me to only awaken with a severe headache. It can also cause a very restless and agitated feeling making it difficult to fall asleep.

Benadryl Allergy (diphenhydramine) for Allergic Reactions: I am severely allergic to all nuts and I always keep a few pills with me. If I eat something that has been in contact with nuts I take two pills or a gulp of the syrup and my itchy mouth and throat, swollen lips are instantly soothed. The syrup does work faster than the pills but pills are lighter to carry around. I once ate a huge piece of hazelnut chocolate and having benadryl on me really saved me. It won't work on severe reaction i.e. eating peanut butter but it is definitely a life saver for all other allergic reactions. I am never without benadryl and my epipen. Only thing to look out for is intense drowsiness, so make sure to be at home to take a long nap when it takes effect.

Benadryl Allergy (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: Not only is Benadryl great for allergic reactions, it is great for insomnia too. I use it for a variety of conditions and always carry some in my purse - just in case.
Unisom SleepGels (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: I love Unisom Sleep Gels. I can't go to sleep and then can't stay asleep. This has fixed that with no grogginess next morning, no matter if you sleep 4 or 5 hours or 8 or 9 hours and feel the same. No hallucinations or anything. Best yet it's over the counter and cheap.
Simply Sleep (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: This sleep aid is amazing. The only "complaint" I have is that sometimes wears off if you hold off too long. Take it, give it one hour, you'll be ready to be out. I haven't had any side effects.
Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for Allergic Reactions: I like this medicine, but unfortunately developed an allergy to it, yes contrary to ANYONE'S belief I AM allergic to Benadryl. My legs started to get really, really hot and felt like I just had to stretch them and run them under freezing cold water, then I woke up with hives all over.
Benadryl Allergy (diphenhydramine) for Motion Sickness: I use benedryl for motion sickness and it does work. I can never remember the car ride, due to being asleep. I love it.
Benadryl Allergy (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: In some people such as myself, benadryl will cause kicking of the feet all night long. For some it works great but be aware that some of us get nervous feet, which does not help when you are trying to sleep.
Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: Works excellent if you haven't built a tolerance to it. After a few days of use you may find the medicine is less effective than it was when you first used it.
Benadryl knocks me out quite quick when I use it, the only problem I have with it is that I tend to oversleep or wake up groggy the morning after, which is generally relieved with some sort of caffeinated beverage.
Benadryl Allergy (diphenhydramine) for Urticaria: Benadryl made my 16yr old so sleepy that he had to be sent home from school but it did take away his hives.
Simply Sleep (diphenhydramine) for Insomnia: This is pretty much ineffective for me. I lay in bed for over an hour trying to sleep and if I do happen to fall asleep I wake up many times throughout the night. I guess I need something stronger.
