Can benadryl cause depression??


Ive been taking it lightly fr a week and a half, but yesterday i was drowsy and upset for some reason?? 30min after benadryl, ive been depressed before so i know this wasn't just a mood shift??

Benadryl can cause depression. The other side effects are
dizziness, confusion,sleep disturbances, tremor,palpitations.
If you are feeling depressed stop the use of it.
All the antihistamines (group to which Benadryl belongs)
can cause these symptoms to a varying extent.

You should not take it on a regular basis for an extended period of time, Benedryl is a VERY safe antihistamine, also used to treat mild insomnia, and can also be a lifesaver for anaphlyaxsis (severe allergic reaction). It WILL cause sleepiness / drowsiness, lethargy which you may mistake for depression, but diphenhydramine (brand name Benedryl) has not been associated with depression

i dont think so, i know benadryl can make you sleepy [i used to give it to my dog so he would sleep during long car trips] but not so much depressed. benadryl is for allergies and most allergy meds. can cause mood swings and drowsiness until you get used to them.

y dont you , try working a little bit. that might a lot better.

no
