BENADRYL DANGERS You Should KNOW ABOUT! A Doctor Explains

[@DrJenCaudle]

Do you take Benadryl? Let me know! Dr Jen

[@mannyguajardo181]

No ma'am, I don't like the aftereffects.

[@craftyflalady]

I actually am in a rehab center-right now and have been in the in and out of the hospital here for about 3 weeks. Now and the thing is, it's what they want to give me for sleep Benadryl. They're always wanting to give me Benadryl for sleep and I won't take it for sleep. There's gotta be something else. I'm a I'm a certified insomniacand they should be able to find something else to give me for sleep.

Benadryl affects my asthma. I start wheezing, get SOB.

[@denisecoward5522]

Used to....not a fan of the next day effects...foggy, loss of time, sometimes I felt so tired

[@Baddiesc7gn]

Yes, back in the 80’s it was the only thing available for my vertigo. Basically, you have to sleep through vertigo

[@juniorbrown5904]

Great information, Royal Queen!! I have never taken it to my reliable knowledge though.

[@tonyajohnson9064]

Good evening, Dr. Jen 😊 I used to take it, but now I take Claritin‼️😊

[@pdubstuff]

Yes I take it for occasional itching or allergic reaction to something. I’ll get some good sleep on it though.

[@odalysruiz4]

I hate it. Makes me anxious the next day. Ty for posting this. My X sister in law is addicted to it for sleep. 🙏🏽👑👼🏽♥️

[@Baddiesc7gn]

If you are older-senior Benadryl may contribute to dementia or mask. Dr. Jen my dogs take Benadryl for allergies also to treat side effect to vaccination.

[@DrJenCaudle]

Ah ok

[@berniceking2592]

Yes, Benadryl works for allergies or allergic reactions for me but it tends to make Me sleepy and as with all medications and supplement I use the smallest dosage that I can get results or relief from.

[@DrJenCaudle]

Ah ok

[@DrJenCaudle]

Thanks for this 😊

[@asou5334]

I'm suffering from Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria and my Allergist told me to take Allegra and not Benadryl. I did research on Benadryl and it's the possible link to dementia that is concerning to me.

[@margaretkur8161]

I've taken alprazolsm for years and was told not to take antihistamines. My late brother R had several food allergies and would take Benadryl before eating broccoli, which he loved, for example.

[@Mardi-np4zs]

I take it every day for cat allergies. I'm going to a Urologist Dr. next month and I'm going to mention this to him! ThankU U r Wonderful!

[@gw6496]

Thank you Dr. Jen good information and no I do not or ever have taken it.👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@vermontvoice13]

I used to take it to help me sleep, would wake up with the dry mouth you mentioned. Also still felt tired for a while the next day too

[@DrJenCaudle]

Ag yes me too

[@christinesanders6802]

Hi Dr. I had to stop taking benadryl because it made my heart beat to fast.

[@robl5008]

Thank you for this information Dr Jen🎉. Can you think of any natural sleep aids that can help with insomnia?

[@doubleL99]

Magnesium glycinate

[@Tray48]

I’m allergic to Benadryl. It causes severe agitation in me and some other symptoms. I didn’t know you could be allergic until I had an allergic reaction to bactrim and took Benadryl and the same symptoms happened and the doctor told me I was allergic.

[@lindahazlett7183]

Yes I take it…what is an alternative for allergy’s. Thanks , Linda

[@MissT_NJ]

Yes I do take it

[@josephtucker7397]

I do take it. Only during allergy season, though.

[@doubleL99]

I used to live on this stuff for sleep. Only took like a half of a tablet. But was taking it way too often at night. One time I took it popped it in my mouth and didn't have any water readily available and it made the whole inside of my mouth numb. Scared the crap out of me and I haven't taken it since.
