Is 400 25mg Diphenhydramine Dosage Too Risky?
Hi. My fiancee struggles with depression and has not been able to continue her medication because she is out of state and her doctor won't give her a Rx because he wants her to come in first. She has been averaging 400 (yes, 400, not 40) 25mg Diphenhydramine in ~2 weeks and I'm wondering how risky this is and what I should do.
