The most common side-effect of Benadryl is sleepiness. If you want to take an antihistamine for your rash and you need to be alert you can take Claritin or loratadine, it is a newer antihistamine that isn't likely to make you drowsy.

It always makes me sleepy. And I am having issues with allergies now, and so I am also taking Robitussin. The Benadryl by itself only knocks me out for a couple of hours, 2-3. But in combination with the Robitussin, we're talking a good 10 hours of sleep at night. Just make sure the Benadryl works for your rash. You may also think of using a topical cream to put on it so as to not have the sleepy side effect. Hope you get well soon!

Yes it can make you very sleepy.
The normal dosage is 25-50 mg.
Benadryl is also used in sleep aids.
You are using it for it's antihistamine properties

Yes. It's a very common side effect. So common that the ingredient in Benadryl is the same one that is in some sleep aids and meds like Tylenol PM.

The answer is yes. Actually, Benadryl is the ingredient in many of the over the counter sleeping pills.

Yes in some people it does....Should be a warning on label.....
There are some people that react differently to medications, always read warning labels and/or check with your doctor.

It makes many people calmer, and some sleepy. Not me, though--it makes me hyper.
