Hi everyone- When I first started herxing years ago I used benadryl in liquid form. After a while my tongue swelled up so I stopped.
Well my herx was really bad last night so I bought the tablets - basically I seemed to take the edge off.
I had that about 5 and then Lorezapam about midnight - and I slept until 8:22 this morning without waking up! That is the first time in years!
Coincidence? Does Benadryl really work? (I've been taking Lorezapam for a month and just cut down my dose).

I took Benadryl for sleep problems for months - then all of a sudden developed a urinary problem. I had the feeling I had to go all the time!
It took months before a clever doctor figured out it was the Benadryl. I stopped and the problem went away. Of course the sleep problem returned.

Hi. My LLMD recommends a 25mg of benadryl while herxing every four to six hours along with plenty of probiotics/vitamins, etc.
It seems to help me.
