Answer 1

I was just reading some of your prior questions and although it may be unsolicited... I have a piece of advice. This is meant not to be critical, but helpful.

I am a trained mental health professional and it does appear to me that you do have at least borderline traits. I don't know what is going on with your current therapist, but perhaps you are demonstrating "apparent competence" which is seen in people with BPD, or you are not sharing with them the things you are sharing here on the internet (which is a problem).

You might check into DBT to treat these self-harm impulses. It is not likely that you are leading any kind of quality life, posting questions like this at 1am. There is hope for treatment and you can get better. Best wishes to you.

Edit add: I just realized, you are 13... that is why they are not diagnosing you as borderline. They usually wait until 18 until the personality is fully formed. The problem is, you are well on your way toward that diagnosis. The good news is, you are young enough to make lasting changes early where you have better chances of recovery.

Answer 2

I don't think so, unless you take a large amount, Are you trying to kill yourself?
Benadryl isn't a good way to overdose. Infact, you should not try overdosing anyway. Most likely, you will not die and end up with some type of damage that will make your life worse than it is now.

If you want your problems to go away then try socializing a little more. No friends? No problem... make some! Go to a local gym, take a class, get into a sport and you'll make plenty friends.

Answer 3

Hey.... Most people who try to overdose with Benedryl, Tyenol, etc. just end up going to the hospital, drinking a wonderful thick chalky drink called CHARCOAL that leaves your lips and teeth gritty and gray. The charcoal absorbs the remaining medication from your stomach. Most people vomit after drinking the charcoal due to the gross gritty thick pastey taste.

***The symptoms are usually an upset tummy, being tired, feeling a bit dizzy. You will just feel like crap. Its not the answer.

***** If you are thinking of trying this, please call a hot line.

****** If you ALREADY did, go to the hospital and they will help. Drink the charcoal.

IT IS ILLEGAL TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE .
YES... IT REALLY IS.


I just took a look at all your questions in your Yahoo!Answers Q&A

You seriously need some help. You need to talk to a professional and deal with what ever issues it is that makes you want to hurt your self. You need to do it now.

Answer 4

Yes, it can kill you.

Of all antihistamine exposures reported to US poison control centers in 2004, 7049 (7.4%) resulted in moderate-to-major toxicity and 55 (0.076%) resulted in fatality. The vast majority of fatalities (54%) were associated with diphenhydramine, also known as Benadryl.

The mental effects are described by many as "dreaming while awake" involving visual and auditory hallucinations which, unlike those experienced with recreational drugs known as psychedelics, often cannot be readily distinguished from reality. Also, people commonly experience a sense of their body being unusually 'heavy,' especially in the legs, so much as to the point where they can't even walk, or where they constantly bump into things due to lack of control of their limbs. People commonly think that they are in a completely different environment, and not even realize it, this makes the drug especially dangerous. Users often report a highly unpleasant side effect profile consistent with tropane glycoalkaloidal poisoning. This includes dry mouth and eyes, rapid heart beat (tachycardia), somnolence, insomnia, and extreme malaise. This is due to antagonism of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in both the central and autonomic nervous system, inhibiting various signal transduction pathways. Users also report extreme short-term amnesia, wearing off as the physical effects do.

In the CNS, diphenhydramine readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, exerting effects within the visual and auditory cortex, accounting for reported visual and auditory disturbances. Other CNS effects occur within the limbic system and hippocampus, causing confusion and temporary amnesia. Toxicology also manifests in the autonomic nervous system, primarily at the neuromuscular junction, resulting in ataxia and extrapyramidal side-effects, and at sympathetic post-ganglionic junctions, causing urinary retention, pupil dilation, tachycardia, and dry skin & mucous membranes. Considerable over dosage can lead to myocardial infarction, serious ventricular dysrhythmias, coma and death.

Be careful. If you are contemplating suicide, call someone or go to your local hospital emergency department. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Hope this helps.

Diphenhydramine side effects

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using diphenhydramine and call your doctor at once if you have:
- pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest;
- painful or difficult urination;
- little or no urinating;
- confusion, feeling like you might pass out; or
- tightness in your neck or jaw, uncontrollable movements of your tongue.
Common side effects may include:
- dizziness, drowsiness, loss of coordination;
- dry mouth, nose, or throat;
- constipation, upset stomach;
- dry eyes, blurred vision; or
- day-time drowsiness or "hangover" feeling after night-time use.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
