Answers:
There is a reason why the bottle says to take one or two!. Benedryl is an anticholinergenic which means that it blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in your brain!. This is very similar to the action of datura and deadly nightshade, so it's not a very safe thing to overdose on!. High doses such as the ones you're talking about will lead to dissociative hallucinations!. We're not talking about the "recreational hallucinations" of LSD or mushrooms, I mean like a terrifying no-idea what's going on experience verging on psychosis!. Additionally, the drug has some depressant properties and you're risking shutting down your nervous system!. It's essental that you go to a real doctor and get medication designed for your particular diagnoses!.

As a side note for the person who is asking why you're taking benedryl to sleep, diphenhydramine induces drowsiness and is often marketed in sleep aids (such as Tylenol PM in some countries)!. It is a common use for the drug!. It is also used for nausea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have insomina too and I understand how it feels not to be able to sleep, but you need to stop taking benadryl that is way too many that could really mess up your system and if your body is use to them you have probably caused your body to have a chemical based insomnia, you have made your body think it can't sleep without first taking sometyhing!. Perscription sleep aids can help you, but if you over dose on those you ain't waking up!. talk to your doctor you need more than a sleeping pill for help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your gonna end up dead, you need to see a doctor, 32 Benadryl is WAY too much, even for someone of your weight!.

Loose some weight, exercise (go for a brisk evening stroll), start to eat more healthily (cut out sugar and caffine) and I think you'll find you'll start to be able to sleep on your own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
