Hello everyone,

I am 20 years old and am afraid I may be addicted to Benadryl. Two months ago my Mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, while having the conversation with her over the phone while she was in the ER I took a benedryl because I'm allergic to grass and was getting a rash. Four weeks long weeks went by and my use became daily and continued to grow as the effects weren't what I desired. She died on June 17th, and my usage has been worse now than it has ever been. I wasn't sure if addiction could even be possible with this medicine, but today I decided to try not to take it and I began to feel sick in the evening. I'm really afraid that I have become hooked on it, does anyone have any suggestions? Yesterday I took one in the morning and then two around 12, it never really gets above four a day and then only two at a time.

Suggestions are welcome,
Smilie
