Benadryl By Mrsboz By mrsboz on Jun 23, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I have bad sinuses. I have always had bad sinuses. It seems like i will try a product and it will work for awhile and then it will stop being effective. At times I have taken the kids liquid Benadryl. I didn't find it too effective but when you had nothing else to take even something that will help a little bit is better than taking nothing at all. Well, this time I figured that I would buy the pill form and see how it worked. The pharmacist seemed to have nothing but positive things to say about this medication. I told her that I had tried the liquid kind before and even taken more than I should have but to no avail it still didn't seem to work effectively. Well, she said you must try the pill form it will do wonders for you. So, I figured that she knew what she was talking about and tried it. Well, never again. I was in such a fog it was horrible. I felt as if I had taken the biggest horse tranquilizer there was. I couldn't stay awake and you're talking to someone who stays up nightly until about 1:00 in the morning and gets up daily at 6:00 a.m. It wasn't effective at all with curing any of my ailments either. So, here I was someone who couldn't keep my eyes open, couldn't concentrate and still had the miserable watery eyes, scratchy throat and stuffed up feeling. Never again I say. Well, maybe if I need to sleep for three days straight!
