How long should the after-effects of a Benadryl overdose last?

Question

I'm 17 and I weigh 120 lbs. I took 100mg three days ago to sort of test the waters, and then 24hrs later I took 200mg more. Almost all of the effects have gone away, but it's been 2 days and my eyes are still dilated. Is that normal?

Answer 1

Benagryl should not dialate your eyes! Liquid benedryl is best for use as a sleeping aide

Answer 2

stop taking benadryl,it can do a great amount of harm to your heart kidneys and young liver.

benadryl is a great anti-inflammatory when used as directed,however in larger than recommended dosage it can have a diuretic effect which can be harmful to the organs i mentioned above.

Answer 3

Many a young person has OD'd on this over the counter drug.They don't realize that it kills several 100 teens every year.The effects can be permanent.I suggest you go to a doctor and tell them what you did.You may have caused some serious brain damage with your experiment. I have seen people remain in a comma for 4 months wake up fine and I have seen people die within 50 minuets of abusing this drug.It unfortunately has become the drug of choice for teen suicide.
