Diphenhydramine "This did not work for me at all. I lay in bed for the third night in a row, congested and unable to sleep. Not sure why it doesn't work for me, but I am severely unsatisfied. No side effects, but no desired effects either."

"I used generic diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg capsule to help with a runny nose, sore/scratchy throat, and sneezing because of a common cold. I took only one capsule before sleep at night. It made me sleepy right away. But it made me nauseated, helped with a runny nose and sneezing. I don’t like that while I was asleep I kept feeling jittery."
