I've always wondered about that. Would it put me to sleep super fast? because even one makes me sleepy. Could it be used as a sleep inducer?

You won't fall asleep any faster as if you took 2. But you will sleep for like 2 days. LoL. Been there, done that.

You'd go to sleep, but 5 wouldn't work any faster than 1. Some of the over-the-counter sleep aids are nothing more than diphenhydramine HCl (Benadryl) in doses of about 50-100mg, equivalent to 2-4 caps of Benadryl.
Benadryl is also used as a pre-med before some chemotherapy, and 100 mgs IV puts even me to sleep, though I use the stuff every 4 hours and have for years. I take 4 as a sleep aid, but I think 2 would do it for most who don't use it often.
Most drug and grocery stores have a generic "store brand" at about 1/4 to 1/2 the price, by the way. And no, not even a bunch of them will make you high. They aren't a "high" kind of med.

I've taken 6 before and have been fine, just got super sleepy, pretty much slept for 12 hours. It was nice. I wouldn't recommend it though, when I was taking it, it wasn't necessarily for sleeping purposes or for proper use. So either take the recommended dosage or at the most 2 because like any other drug whether over the counter or not you can be addicted. I was quite depressed when I used them but I'm glad to be out of that funk now. Just take 1 or 2 and you'll be good, with just the right amount of sleepiness. :)

This would not be a good thing to do, it can cause heart problems and a whole list of other nasty side effects. definitely not worth the chance. It can be used as a sleep inducer, however, and is an ingredient in many over the counter sleep medications.

Nothing, I've took 5 before just to sleep and that's exactly what it does. There is no serious problems that may happen unless you are allergic to benadryl.. Good luck

it would make you sleep longer and deeper. i wouldn't use it as a sleep inducer. take a warm bath, drink some hot tea, without caffeine of course. read a boring book, honestly this helps me. do some yoga to relax. try and really clear your mind of your stesses. if these things don't help, you should talk to a doc.

i took twelve, once (ahem - cry for help), and it made my mouth so dry that i couldn't speak. i had to go to the ER and drink liquid charcoal, flavoured with sorbitol (ugh!), whereafter i had to walk several miles home to the welfare hotel that was instrumental in causing me to take 'em. YMMV.

Too much is not better. If you took five you might end up half brain dead and have to have people feed you and change your diaper.
