      Ugh, no. I hate all forms of diphenhydramine, whether it's a salt with something else or not. Whenever I've tried to use it as a sleep aid, I always feel crappy in the morning, and I would never remember a single dream because of the anticholinergic effect. (By the way, galantamine, choline, and EGCG all work to INCREASE acetylcholine levels. Diphenhydramine does the exact opposite.)

      Anymore, I only keep it around in case somebody has a severe allergic reaction, or, for the creams, an itch.

      I used to be a really big dramhead back in 10th grade. I was taking 8-12 pills in school.
      You feel really heavy and REALLY sleepy. If you take as much as I did, you hallucinate in a different way then most hallucinogens. You see people you know and talk to them. Sometimes you just hear voices. You can even start seeing transparent spiders everywhere. You won' t be able to read either.
      I would be in class, playing with my MP3 but then all of a sudden, my eyes open and I relized it was a dream. Tge weird thing was I had my hand out in the way I normally hold my MP3. Many events like this occur, so yeah, I'd say it can help become lucid. When I was on it, I never knew I was awake or not. I would be doing somthing, then bam, my eyes open and it was a dream. But your dream takes place where you are.
      I have not done dramamine or gravol, a similar pill, in a while, ever since I got csught with 36 of them at school and ran from the police cause I was tripping.

      i personally did dramamine alll the time. i was seriously a dramhead. i never had a bad trip, the first time i did it my boyfriend told me to take 8 and im a tiny ass girl like 5' 2'' and took 8 pills i was trippin like no other but it was fun as shit. i did puke because i took too much and i couldnt even smoke while i was on them. i did have a panic attack though when i was throwing up because i felt like i couldnt breathe anymore and i didnt have my phone but afterwards i turned the lights out and went to sleep and in my dreams i was where i was at but my one really tight friend who i had seen earlier that day but that was not where i was at that moment i was talkin to, she was above me talkin about work or sumthing. my friend that i was with then asked me who i was talkin to and my eyes shot open it was all a dream. you do wanna make sure your with people who wont let you wander and do stupid shit cus while i was on it i wandered outside at like 3 in the morning cus i had looked out the window [WHEN I WAS AWAKE] and saw my friends playing hide and seek so i went outside and obviously they werent there but i stood out there and wandered around my girls house until i finally got cold enough to go back in. so you def wanan have someone that will make sure yer safe with you, but other then that its fun as hell nothing too bad, just look at the size you are and determine how many to take so you dont get sick.

      It might be ok to take a LITTLE more than recommended dosage...but taking this stuff recreationally...and at the dosages some people here have mentioned is just plain idiotic. Plus the body load is extremely shitty. I absolutely hate diphenhydramine (benedryl) and dimenhydrenate (dramamine) at more than recommended dosages. It is like being being lucid (or rather, delirious) yet slightly psychotic...like sleep walking with horrible hangover and cotton mouth. They dehydrate you. I guess some people can handle taking diph more than others...YMMV, but I know people who have ODed from taking too much of this drug. Just be careful, do your research before taking drugs, please.

      I understand what your saying. That's why I was saying I "used" to be on this alot.
      I am trying to stay away from pills now. I only said that so I could explain it to people on how its relevant to dreaming.

      Dramamine has similair effects as Tropane alkalois from Datura, Henbane and Bella Donna.
      In high doses it has delirious effects which include you having NO idea what you're doing neither will you have any recollection of it. This can be very dangerious.

      However very low doses of Datura Inoxia seeds(3 to 5 seeds) are a very effective, yet safe Oneirogen. Perhaps low, motion-sickness doses of Dramamine has similair Oneirogenic effects. And off course it's safe to take Motion-sickness curing doses of Dramamine.

      benadryl is only 1 molecule apart from dramamine, does the same thing, and it's twice as strong, so you can take less pills for the same effect.

      I don't think that's accurate, considering a dramamine pill is typically 50mg and a benedryl is 25mg. Same amount of pills, same effect.

      Regardless, do not take more than recommended dosage of either.

      It is, you can look it up on erowid.org. I used to do a lot of research on this drug when I was addicted to it. Diphenhydramine (benadryl) and Dimenhydrinate (dramamine) are in the same family molecule-wise. The difference is that benadryl is twice as strong, so 25mg of that is equal to 50mg of dramamine. Kind of like how LSD and LSA are only one molecule apart but LSD is exponentially stronger.

      Yeah, that's what I just said. I was only questioning your assertion that you would need half as many benedryls. That is not accurate, since a pill of benedryl is only 25mg, and dramamine is 50. The recommended dosage of either is the same...2 pills.

      Is Dramamine available over the counter? Or does one need a prescription?

      It doesn't sound dangerious to me. Or at least no more dangerious than taking Aspirin.
      If you eat Aspirin like candy you could easily kill yourself. Same with Dramamine.

      The wonderfull thing is that many generations of scientists, neurologists and physicians have tried, tested and documented the effects/dosages of these drugs and if one is mindfull of this information it is very unlikely to be dangerious.

      I would like to try a regulair motion-sickness dose of Dramamine before bedtime.

      I strongly sugest NOT taking more than the recommended dose of dramimine. As a type of person whos willing to try every drug once and pretty much has I'll tell you right now dramamine is NOT fun. As far as it helping you to LD I don't see that happening because it's extreamly hard to sleep on it. Taking a higher than recommended dose of it puts you in a state of delerium and confusion and not in a good way. Abusing dramamine has the same affects as jimsonweed (detura) and if anyone has done it knows it's not fun. It will make you see shit but trust me not in a fun way

      Oh wait I forgot something... consider having a tube (attached to a piss bag, a foley cathetor) SHOVED up through your dick then SHOVED up through your prostate then SHOVED up to your bladder, so you won't piss all over yourself while you are unconscious on the ventilator..........and don't forget the adult diapers you will have to wear when you are unconscious and shitting on yourself, in front of your friends who are visiting you during ICU visiting hours....

      Notice #13 You will get the tube shoved up your dick.

      No amount of lucid dreaming is worth this...
      Way to shock me outta trying this.

      PS: Tube part prolly sealed the deal on this one

      In the past few days I have taken 48 Dramamine pills altogether. (i think? i still cant remember) the highest dosage at once was 24. I am 5'4.5 and 124 pounds.
      I experienced the auditory and visuals. And I couldnt remember anything I was trying to say or text for shit.
      The auditory was the worst part because it kept me up all night having nightmares asleep and awake and questioning reality so badly.
      I couldn't tell which voices were real..
      I kept having conversations with my friend in my head. I'd say "what?" out of nowhere and then get startled realizing she was in the other room.
      I would also trail off into dreams about what I was doing before I fell asleep. I would have many conversations with people in text messages and then panic unsure of what was said in my dream and in reality and I constantly had to check.
      The only interesting thing that came out of all of this was how I suddenly understood song lyrics perfectly that I had wracked my brain for a year trying to figure out.
      And that I went 24 hours without food or appetite.
      but I dont recommend this. at all. I suddenly feel dependent on it. I had a panic attack an hour ago because I wanted it so badly and I didnt have the money.
      I'm losing friends. already. This shit fucks up everything. fast.

      I Would strongly advise anyone against using dramamine for lucid dreaming. Taking 6-8 pills if you are under 200lbs will pretty much give you schizophrenia for 4 hours, hallucinations, Delsusions, you may very well walk in front of a car. continued use causes high blood pressure, increased heartbeat, can and cause visual snow which can last for years, and plus it leaves you hungover in the morning.

      I'm not a fan of overdosing on medication. I confess that I have taken more of things like valerian and melatonin than recommended, but not much more. And those things are relatively mild supplements. Abusing medication is another thing altogether.

      However, I do wonder what effects dramamine would have if taken in the proper dosage before bed. I might try that at some point. I know that dramamine makes me pretty drowsy, so it would probably work as a sleep aid at least. I think sometimes people go overboard trying to induce LD's, and think they need to be extreme for it to work.

      A lot of people seem to think 'o hallucinations dat is cool' hallucinating is not cool. A friend of mine had a guy tripping on salvia charge his front door full speed and bust through the glass onto his living room floor. Everyone has different reactions to things.

      I think I need to try this one. I've been having dry luck with my lucids recently. My dad has a bottle of Dramamine in our bathroom medicine cabinet.. he also has a cabinet for liquor.
