"I have severe seasonal allergies, as well as severe allergies to dust and mold. I had gone through the gamut of second-generation antihistamines (Claritin, Zyrtec, and Allegra) with minimal success in treating my extreme symptoms. I decided to try the first-generation antihistamine: Benadryl. Of course, it's been around for a long time, but it's definitely the most effective. The drawback to this older antihistamine is that it causes sleepiness, and it's not slight. Also, the newer antihistamines can be taken once a day, while Benadryl doses last only 4-6 hours. But to this extreme allergy sufferer, it's a small tradeoff because it certainly treats the symptoms far better."

"I have taken Benadryl for interstitial cystitis because of mast cells. Recommended by several urologists. It also works for other allergies like rhinitis or seasonal allergies. My current primary doctor does not like it for seniors, but it is the only thing that works for me. I do not take it long-term because the effectiveness wears off, but when I need it and use it intermittently, it works!"

"My wife has an anxiety disorder and found out that by taking Benadryl, it stopped her racing thoughts. Problem is, it made her mentally confused and babbling about random topics for a few hours. Best-case scenario, it will make you pass out, not enter healthy sleep. Other times, depending on dosage, as it is very addictive, she would hallucinate and not remember the incident at all! It can also put you in a coma or worse if combined with the wrong drugs. VERY DANGEROUS DRUG! STAY AWAY."
