Hi,
The generic name of Benadryl is Diphenhydramine. This is an antihistamine drug and it is used to reduce, allergy symptoms. Common side effects of Benadryl are drowiness and dizziness, so you can't avoid these side effects.
You can try taking it in the evening.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
