    I call bullshit. Melatonin comes in a bottle, Benadryl comes in those foil snap packs.

    Also, in Canada at least, 100 melatonin = $10; 100 Benadryl = ~$40

      Benadryl can come in a bottle. The generic can be bought 35 capsules for $1… what I call bs is 3 = spider nightmares… most are 25mg which means they were only taking 75mg. That’s hardly anything. Itll knock you out for newbies, but def won’t give the hallucinations the op is talking about.

        I’m thinking the OP is talking about Unisom, aka doxylamine. Unisom is a sleep aid brand with two different forms, DPH (Benedryl) or Doxylamine. The packaging does make it seem like it’s melatonin sometimes. Doxy is like the heroin of recreational Benedryl use, not as uncomfortable and takes a very low dose to cause the visuals. 1st gen anti-histamines are just colloquially referred to as Benedryl so it’s makes sense to me. Even when I was taking Doxy often, 3 pills could get me started on a trip

      It does come in a bottle. Had an amoxicillin reaction. That bottle was a lifesaver every four hours of the day, or night. But I also think this is BS. Benadryl will plug you up like nothing else.

      Calling bullshit because you don’t know things… What’s more classic?

      Benedryl comes in bottles if you generic. My 50 count bottle of benedryl is $1.25 from dollar tree, 100 count is $3 at Aldi. Plus, Benedryl is often sold as a sleep aid under different brands like Unisom, Diphenhydramine is just colloquially called Benedryl.
