The LD/50 for diphenhydramine is 500mg/kg in rats. So a 70kg person has a 50% chance that a dose of 35,000mg will be lethal. From what I’ve read getting high on Benadryl is very unpleasant.
“Overdosage of diphenhydramine may result in the development of anticholinergic symptoms, seizures, and coma. A fatal outcome following a diphenhydramine overdose does not commonly occur.” – NIH.gov
There was only 1 recorded instance of a 14 yo girl who died from 7.5g of benedryl, so your 7mg wouldn’t have been enough anyhow.
If people could OD on benedryl or anything OTC, they wouldn’t allow it OTC. It would then be a controlled substance.
very true. i recall researching this method heavily, some years ago. decided it wasn’t worth it. if one is serious, they will opt for a way that will work, like a rope, or a gun, not some passive way like swallowing pills.

It wasn’t enough anyway. I suggest you do your homework.
7g of benedryl wasn’t enough?

eh, by the sounds of it, 7g doesn’t sound like it’d be enough, barely, at that. probably for a child, or someone who’s already on their deathbed.
It was doomed to fail anyhow.

On the lostallhope website benedryl is listed as lethal. Where is your data from? I was considering Benadryl because easy to access.
God bless your narcissistic sister.
