Benadryl for CH

[johncluster]

I see some ppl mention benadryl  and melatonin, is that supposed to prevent CH?

How about the day time use?

thanks for any info .

Hey J,

Good question.  CHers taking the anti-inflammatory regimen CH preventative treatment protocol with 10,000 IU/day vitamin D3 who were not responding by the end of the first week on this regimen have found allergic reactions were likely the cause of their non-response.  A week to 10-day course of a first-generation antihistamine like Benadryl (Diphenhydramine HC) at 25 mg every four hours throughout the day has helped most of them.

I don't have any data for CHers taking only the Benadryl (Diphenhydramine HCL).

Take care,

V/R, Batch

I take benadryl along with the D3 when I start getting hit above my 3 a day norm. I take 3 a day along 20mg of Melatonin at bed time.

aren't you falling a sleep from it daytime?

It does not make me tired at all during the day. Same as if I down a energy drink at 2am it will not keep me awake. 

I am not sure how or why this is the case, maybe my body is use to it or is processing it in a different way?

I would say test it out on a day off so if you do get tired you can adjust things before you go to work.
