Motion Sickness Medication

[red eyed]

Do NOT ever try dimenhydrinate. Most of you probably already know not to try it, but I brushed off some of the bad stuff about it because I know a few people like it. I was not one of those few people, it made me feel awful. There were barely any visuals and when I had them they looked oddly real and just smeary and ugly. My stomach hurt like it got ripped out, I had to lay on my back for 3 hours awake looking at my fucking moving ceiling to not throw up. Not a good ending to my Thanksgiving.

Those are my words of wisdom.

I can completely vouch for the OP of this thread. There is no reason anyone should ever feel tempted to try using benadryl or motion sickness pills recreationally. What you experience isn't a "high" at all but rather delerium from taking large doses of these OTC meds.

I have personally experienced dosing on large amounts of benadryl in the past. I'm not proud of my actions but at the time I was on urine tests and hadn't used any substances in months. I got desperate enough to try using benadryl to get high and none of the experiences were enjoyable.

These OTC meds cause vivid hallucinations in large doses that you can't distinguish between reality and the hallucinations.

I wouldn't fuck around with high doses of these types of meds under any circumstances ever again no matter how desperate.

Well I've done it a couple times, (not dimenhydrinate, but diphenhydramine) and although I wouldn't do it again or recommend it to anyone, I'm definitely glad I tried it.

I thought the effect of not being able to distinguish between reality and your hallucinations was extremely interesting. The high blows though, and the hangover is absolute shit, worse than any time I've been drunk.

I'm not gonna say "don't take it" but I will say make sure you're aware of the negatives and positives and make a good decision about it. It's definitely not something like weed, or shrooms, or really any GOOD drug, but people are all different.

I've done both dimenhydrinate and diphenhydramine once each (about 300-400mg each time) and whether or not the dosage was as high as most people usually do, it just wasn't fun... I saw some weird bubbly floater-looking things go across my vision but nothing special. I also could not stay awake to save my life. I mean like I was in the bathroom taking a piss and practically falling asleep in the course of doing so. Not fun... using these things recreationally seems almost always to be a result of extreme and dire boredom/lack of other substances, lol.

12-24 hour delirium. I've tripped on Dipenhydranate/amine and will never touch the shit again.

I also forgot alot of what happened last night, does it cause amnesia? Anywhoo, I still remember some of the stuff that happened.

One little senario happened to me like 5 times last night. I would roll around in my bed with my hand to my ear and talk into my hand like I was using a cell phone. I would have "back-and-forth" conversations with friends for about 2 minutes at a time and then I would think I dropped the cell phone off the bed. Then I would look all around and realize I was never talking on the phone, that it was on my desk. Then just lay down again.

Yeah, forgetting shit is fairly common as you're in basically a total delerium-like state, its common you won't remember a whole lot the next day.

Diph is the kind of drug I wouldn't think about doing while alone. I tried it with a friend a half dozen times when he slept over during the summer and I had some alright times. When I was bored with tripping and decided to go to bed I was like "whoa this is really fraeaky I don't want to do it again". Then in the morning I'd wake up, start thinking about what happened last night and was like "Whoa that was really crazy. I'll have to do that again".

Than a couple months ago I tried it by myself and I got really freaked out and just ended up hiding under my covers and sleeping it off.

Another one of my friends wants to try it so I guess I'm going to do it with him if he's allowed to sleep over one of these weekends. The original friend I did it with might be doing it with us as well.
