I was just wondering if anyone has successfully used benadryl for their PTSD related insomnia? I am currently taking 75mgs of Seroquel for sleep and anxiety/depression.
The Seroquel works all night, every night, but let's face it, it doesn't have the world's best side effect profile, so I have been trying to get off of it. Today I read that at the dose that I am at it really is no more than an expensive dose of Benadryl (now I find out:eek:).
It also apparently doesn't have any antidepressant/antipsychotic properties under 200mgs which I find hard to believe because I crashed big time when I went from 75 to 50 mgs last winter. Maybe it was placebo related, but at the time it certainly didn't feel like it.
I have read that Benadryl can cause nightmares which I definitely don't need, and that it stops working after about a week or so - can anyone tell me of their experiences with it?
