Diphenhydramine for Pruritus Reviews
"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 next dosage. Makes me feel extremely tired, so I go to bed, woke up 11 hours earlier. Such a life saver, just improved my sleep amount from 5 to 11 hours. Thank you modern medicine!"
"The doctor ordered 50 ccs 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 hrs in the ER! I received a couple 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!!"
Benadryl Allergy (diphenhydramine) "These blister packs are insanely hard to open! I don't get it!! Children safe is one thing, making it hard for an adult is another..Ill never buy these again just to protest.."
"It was good. Medication worked well and with benefits."
