Was in Er for an optical migraine, they gave me a dose Of diphenhydramine.

It took everything I had to not start literally climbing up the walls. My anxiety and energy level skyrocketed.

One of kids is the same way on Benadryl.

Apparently 5% have such a reaction.

I got tired of explaining the reaction to doctors and nurses, (got called a liar several times). Although I had one nurse almost in tears as she had same reaction, but no one would believe her.

So on forms I put I’m allergic to allergy medication.
