Question: I took benadryl and haven't felt good since!?
I took benadryl one night, not to help me sleep, but because I was having a lot of drainage!. I haven't had any congestion since, but I've felt like I'm in a fog since I took it (two nights ago)!. For a little bit I thought I had the flu cause I was so tired, but I'm not sick! Help!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hello, diphenhydramine, the active ingredient of Benadryl, has this exact effect on most people!. It is an antihistamine, which induces drowsiness!. It affects me, too for about 12 hours after a dose!.

It will pass!. There is not much you will be able to do for it, I'm sorry to say!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

benadryl can make you feel very drowsy, i have felt that way before and learned my lesson form taking it unless i am going to bed!. try taking claritin, it cost a little bit more but get the non drowsy, it will probably work better for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if it is the benadryl, it will eventually wear off!. or perhaps you are coming down with some thing!. hope you are better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
