I just started using benadryl to try and sleep. It wasn't very effective and it caused extreme nausea. I won't use it again.

Makes me very sleepy within 30 minutes. I've noticed that I feel like I can't sleep without it so watch out for becoming dependant. I also use it for hives.

I am 54 years old and have had trouble sleeping most of my life. I lost my husband this year and really have trouble sleeping. But of all the things I've ever taken I feel safest with Beadryl

Comment:
I have not experienced any bad side effects. It has helped me sleep very sound, and I don't feel drowsy or irritable the next day. I take 50 mg of the Benedryl sleep aid at night about 1 hr. before I go to bed.
