    When I was younger a coworker took Benadryl and started hallucinating that he was Jack Sparrow. Definitely was entertaining. Not sure how much he took.

    If I have to take it, I do before I go to bed. Fighting sleep sucks on Benadryl.

      I did know someone who was unemployed and in a bad situation in life, so they took Benadryl in order to sleep through most of every day. I wouldn’t call that fun, but I understand that inclination.

        I was on unemployment for 6 months after being laid off. At some point after getting arrested and being stuck in my apartment with no money during a bad winter for weeks at a time I began using nightqil and referred to it as “the time machine”.

        I would just wake up , slug some and sleep. I didn’t need to spend money on food and next thing I knew it would be the day my unemployment check was in the mail.

          I can definitely understand how someone could get to that place. Hopefully you are doing better now, but I’m sorry you had to go through that.
