Fast acting Benadryl is a thing, no need to snort the antihistamine. Lots of burning. Sudden cardiac death. Fight the Darwin effect, fight it.
Prescription medications are never okay to snort. This is almost the equivalent of snorting meth. And yes, adderall is terribly addictive. All of these wonderful things for up to 48 hours!
Do you want your future employer, lover, or friends to see you snort an entire condom up your nose and out of your mouth? And if I did, yes, I would judge you. A lot. What if it gets stuck? What if you actually swallow it? Is potential pregnancy or contraction of STDs really worth it? What about awkward nose discharge and irritation? Probably not. But the heroin snorting part? In addition to treating allergic reactions, diphenhydramine has on-labels uses in treating insomnia, cough, Parkinsonism, and motion sickness.
However, because it is so common, Benadryl is frequently abused as a sleep aid, or recreationally to give people a feeling of relaxation. When taken in excess, Benadryl can be deadly. Most OTC medications containing diphenhydramine are only intended for oral consumption. People that choose to snort Benadryl or other diphenhydramine- based medications do so in an effort to get hallucinogenic or euphoric feelings. Negative side effects may offset any desired feelings of well-being that may result from a larger dosage.
The basis for many high school-aged teenagers to abuse Benadryl comes from a trend on the social media app, TikTok. Some teens have chosen to snort crushed up diphenhydramine-based pills to get a more intense rush of effects. This method has not proven to provide an increase in desired effects but may cause negative side effects and physical effects associated with snorting drugs.
Benadryl has a long list of potential adverse effects with normal use including tachycardia, hypotension, and convulsions. When a person takes too much Benadryl or crushes and snorts it, there can be both immediate and long-lasting effects.
People that abuse Benadryl by ingesting large amounts of the drug are at an increased risk of overdose. Serious overdose effects require immediate medical attention — especially in cases where seizures and respiratory distress are present. Brain damage can result from an untreated overdose.
Regular use and addiction to Benadryl can lead to mental health symptoms that may carry into the long-term. These effects may result from both the continued presence of the drug in the body and from the psychological impact of being without the substance.
Do not give diphenhydramine products that are made for adults to children. Before you give a diphenhydramine product to a child, check the package label to find out how much medication the child should receive.
Give the dose that matches the child's age on the chart. Ask the child's doctor if you don't know how much medication to give the child. If you are taking the liquid, do not use a household spoon to measure your dose.
Use the measuring spoon or cup that came with the medication or use a spoon made especially for measuring medication. If you are taking the dissolving strips, place the strips on your tongue one at a time and swallow after they melt. If you are taking the rapidly dissolving tablets, place a tablet on your tongue and close your mouth. The tablet will quickly dissolve and can be swallowed with or without water.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Diphenhydramine is usually taken as needed. If your doctor has told you to take diphenhydramine regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Diphenhydramine may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you experience any unusual problems while you are taking this medication. Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture not in the bathroom. It is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of children as many containers such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers are not child-resistant and young children can open them easily.
To protect young children from poisoning, always lock safety caps and immediately place the medication in a safe location — one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach.
