"I have 2nd degree sunburns, sun blisters all over my body, not a fun time. I haven't been able to sleep for a week. Burns are now starting to go away after 4 or 5 days of bad pain, and the itching is going crazy. Took two pills, within 15 minutes, the itching is gone. Within 30 minutes, I'm out cold. Wake up 3 hours later, make dinner, and in due time, ready to take the next dosage. Makes me feel extremely tired, so I go to bed, woke up 11 hours earlier. Such a lifesaver, just improved my sleep amount from 5 to 11 hours. Thank you, modern medicine!"

"The doctor ordered 50 cc of Benadryl when I was in the ER for a bad breakout of eczema, among other things. As soon as the medicine got in my veins, I was useless! My mouth got instantly dry, I couldn’t speak anyway. It felt like it does when they put you to sleep. I was out for 3 hours in the ER! I received a couple of phone calls while I was there and didn’t remember them after. Luckily, I didn’t drive myself there, but I felt strange the rest of the day. It definitely stopped the itching because I wasn’t awake to feel it!!"

Diphenhydramine "These blister packs are insanely hard to open! I don't get it! Child-safe is one thing, making it hard for an adult is another. I'll never buy these again just to protest."
