Another Victim of a Paradoxical Reaction to Benadryl

(Brooklyn, NY USA)

I had a bad allergic reaction to a new medication so ER doctor sd I could take two benadryl 25mg orally. I have ONlY ever took one benadryl at a time.

So about two hours later I'm crying feeling extremely jittery and I want to run! I'm home and start to have an anxiety attack and wake my husband to help me!!!

I Read up on internet and am pretty positive I'm having a paradoxical reaction to benadryl. I feel like being a two year old with 40yr old body issues stuck in bed flipping the freak out!!!
