Wouldn't that knock you out, though? I mean, I'm taking an anti-psychotic that slams into the H1-Histamine receptor in the brain, the same one affected by benadryl, and I know 200mg of the seroquel is enough to knock my ass out. 4 benadryl knock me for a good loop, and I can't stay awake. I'm well aware that it takes somewhere near 50 - 100 pills of benadryl (vary by person) to croak... but what I didnt know is that it promotes a schizo-style trip? How schizo? Are we talking just seeing things that aren't there; are we talking seeing things that aren't there and getting freaked and paranoid over them; or are we talking Donnie Darco-style schizo-freak. ...and finally, is it the diphenhydramine HCL that's the active agent, or is it another agent in Bendaryl? I.e. can generic versions be taken with the same results, or does it hve to be Benadryl brand. -E
