Can you get addicted to Benadryl? Side effects?

Question

I work 3rd shift and have been taking 50mg of benadryl to sleep every morning. It's been about 5 years now. Now I take it to sleep on my nights off as well.

Answer 1

You already sound like you are addicted to benadryl. It is not good to take medicines just to get sleep. It is advisible to consult a doctor and preferably to have medicines only when required.
