Lol yes, it’s a painkiller haha. Fairly mild, too, but usually the extra-strength version is what you’ll get after surgeries and stuff.

Benadryl is the kleenex of anti-allergy meds.

    Don’t take Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Shit would never be approved for use if it were invented today. It fucks with your brain, messes with your reflexes, and is correlated strongly with dementia.

    Second and third generation antihistamines work better and are non-drowsy.

    Fair enough. I don’t take it, personally, though.

    I used to, until I learned more about it.

    One of the things that finally made me realize how potent it is: pilots aren’t allowed to fly for at least 60 hours after taking anticholinergics like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or doxylamine (another first-gen antihistamine marketed as Unisom, and is also the thing in NyQuil that makes you drowsy).
