Allergy Hero!

Benadryl is a popular antihistamine used primarily to combat allergies and congestion problems. Benadryl is also used in many over the counter sleep aids. When used in larger than intended doses, Benadryl changes the way it interacts on the human body. When used in high doses it can cause hallucinations and confusion, these are the effects abusers of Benadryl are going for. This is the high they are trying to reach. Unfortunately, other effects of Benadryl abuse can include increased heart rate, insomnia, kidney and liver damage, and even seizures. Young people have been using Benadryl as a cheap high and need to be aware of the dangers associated with this drug. Just because it is over-the-counter, doesn’t mean it is safe.
