Benadryl is not addictive physiologically but if you have addictive type personality you can be addicted to anything. On cable there's a show called strange addiction and some guy was addicted to blow up pool toys.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be in any trouble with blow up toys... But I'll keep my eyes open on that one.

Aren't Benadryl and Unisom essentially containing the same active ingredient that helps with drowsiness? I am asking this because why take Benadryl when you can take some OTC sleep aid like unisom or NyQuil zzz?

Yep,

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl®, Sominex®, and many other brand names) is an antihistamine medication commonly used for the treatment of allergies and insomnia.

Cheaper??

Can't beat the dollar store!

I took 2 hydroxyz last night and slept really well, but a bit groggy this morning. Maybe this is going to be me sleep aid of choice as tryptophan worked ok for 1-2 nights with putting me asleep, but did not keep me asleep very well.

Took my Ambian, slept two nights in a row, a bit groggy but lost a pound and a half after a two week stall (and two weeks severe insomnia). Hummmm

Hey Fiddle, I have had difficulties with sleep for quite a few years and have prescriptions from doctors to help with my sleeping and then a receptionist at the doctor's office mentioned Kirkland's Sleep Aide. I bought some when the doctor's prescription didn't help much and it was the best sleep aid I had tried. It's pretty inexpensive too.... :P

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have tried kirklands sleep aid in the past. However, it leaves me groggy all the next day until late afternoon. This was pre surgery so do not know if it still holds true now. Even with the hydroxyzine taken last night ( left over prescription from 1+ year ago), I am still feeling a little zombified now. Most OTC sleep aids are like that for me except unisom. For some reason, unisom gives me sleep and I am alert the next morning. Tonight, I shall try the unisom and see if I can sleep and feel alert in the morning.

I do hate the groggy feeling the next morning too. I am very fortunate that sleep Aide doesn't affect me that way. However, tylenol with cod really does a number on me now....... :P

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
