I beleive, that it's safer cause it doesn't have any acetaminophen in it, which

is bad for the liver if you take it too much.

Other than that, I don't know.

Hi,

I am also just curious. Isn't diphenhydramine HCI the antihistamine itself?

Yes, but it helps a person sleep also.

well, I don't know. But, my pharmacists told me the sleep aid was the same as

benedryl, without the antihistamine.

,

Benadryl is classified as an antihistamine. That's why some people use it

for bee stings, hives,etc. But it helps one sleep real good too! With my

last surgery I broke out in hives in the recovery room and they gave me IV

Benadryl. After about 15 min. they were alll gone.

Hi ,

I know, I think it is wonderful for that reason... The last time I

was in the US, I had somebody bring me to Costco to stock up on it...

I think I have a nice supply which should last me a few years,

he-he... It was so cheap I couldn't believe it. I think I paid

around $3.50 for 400 pills, generic ones (Kirkland). The price tag

said around $7, then when we came to the cashier, they took off

another 50%... Also I liked the generic ones better, they are so much

smaller and easier to swallow than the original ones. I don't know

why, but for some reason benadryl was taken off the market here in

Norway a few years ago. Too bad, because even if we may not need it

as an antihistamine anymore (there's so many good more modern ones),

it is very useful as a sleep aid. I have thought that it must be so

much better than using sleeping pills. Also it helps a lot for my

itching because of psoriasis and it does not stay in the system as

long as other options to relieve itching, which is great. I also

found out that if I can't sleep, I can take it quite late in the

evening and still get up in the morning. Many other options are not

like that at all.

No... I think I need to put the computer down for a while... I have a

little cutie of a Yorkie girl here who wants to play, I think...

Down on the floor, Mom!!! Quick!!! She is so excited, I got a pack of

kitten food, tiny small kibbles. She is willing to go through fire in

order to get them...
