"diphenhydramine is an extremely effective sleep aid. it takes half an hour or less for 25 mg to knock me out. 



the biggest problem i have with diphenhydramine is that it makes me feel kinda&#039; groggy and nauseous the next day. i feel like i&#039;m walking around in some weird twilight and food just doesn&#039;t taste good to me.



still, out of the three sleeping pills i&#039;ve tried, diphenhydramine is by far the most effective. ambien made me feel like i was on a roller coaster and melatonin mainly makes me fall asleep a little faster."
