Has anyone had a Benadryl addiction?

So... I have a really bad addiction to Benadryl. (I know, Benadryl is a baby drug STFU), and I was wondering if anyone else did/does, and what they went through from taking so many pills? Or what your experiences were like after getting high with it stopped being fun?

Update:

Uhm, so other things are, I have been addicted to Benadryl (and also Cough Syrups) for about a year now, and the most I have taken is give or take 2250mg at a time. I take it a few times a week, or whenever I can get a hold of some.

    Well I never took benadryl to get high, but I did take it every day for several years first thing in the morning to make sure that I could get through the day without sneezing or having a runny nose.

    I quit taking them when I got pregnant with my first child and have never had to take them since.

    I would hardly call benadryl (Diphenhydramine or DPH) a baby drug. I've done up to 1000mg of DPH before, experiencing full on auditory and visual hallucination/delirium. DPH can cause severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia if used often (more then once a week on a regular basis). It also really hurts your stomach after a while or a lot at once. I suggest you quit using DPH recreational purposes (like I did) and use a safer drug like marrrrijuaana.

    How many mg of DPH are you taking at a time and how often?

    Source(s): I've had benadryl numerous times, I've had up to a gram of DPH before, and have done dozens of other drugs.

    I never got high, but for a while I took benadryl to sleep.
