I figured the Benadryl thing out by myself because every time I would take it for allergies it would knock me on my backside. I asked my Dr. about it and he said he could write me a RX for something but that Benadryl was just as effective and was not habit forming so that is what I use when I need it. It leaves me a little draggy in the morning but rather that than becoming addicted to something or spending big bucks. Ann in TN
