12:00am -Start time-
Content, happy, I take 8 off brand Benadryl (Equaline) each pill 25mg.

1:30am
No effects, I take additional 3 pills, getting me to 11 all together and at a 275mg dosage.

2:45am
I left my apartment to go get cigs, but got lost on the way to my car (the lot here is tiny) I wander around, but I'm not sure how long. I heard people arguing in a car that I walked past, and started talking to my friend about it, only to realize that the friend wasnt there, nor was the people in the car that were arguing.

3:10am
I get to the gas station, I go in and am attempting to say malburo red 100's but it was like I forgot how to speak, I kept forgetting where I was driving to and why I was driving there.

3:30am
Home now, the effects have not yet gone away. I walk into the bathroom to take a shower and notice my body has red blotches all over. I cant tell if I've overdosed or another hallucination. I cover up and go to lay on the couch but my body feels the need to move, laying down almost hurts.

4:15am
I try working on my online school work but forget what I read after I read it. I also attempt talking to a few of my friends who are up but cant seem to really talk or make any sense. If I try and focus I forget what it was I was focusing on and finally give up.

4:30-5:00am
Sleep hits me somewhere between this time. Once I fell asleep I woke up at 10am that morning.

Overall, this experience was scary. I enjoyed the hallucinations. The next morning I woke up still slightly feeling the effects of the benadryl, and two days later I am still having slight memory problems.
