    Does Benadryl affect people differently? I’ve been taking this all my life, and all it does is stop my allergic reactions and put me to sleep. Some people are talking like they dropped acid.

      A “recreational” dose is somewhere around 300 to 600 mg. Note, that it is definitely not a fun experience.

      I get the opposite from sleep. I wake up as if I took a stimulant. I get nervous, anxious, and energetic. I hate taking Benadryl.
