I suffer from severe anxiety, and a friend of mine suggested taking over-the-counter Benadryl for the relief of my symptoms. I took it and did get relief, but I am worried about getting addicted to it. I previously used to take Klonopin, but it just stopped working, and my panic attacks increased a lot. It took me nearly nine months to completely taper off of Klonopin.
Besides addiction, I would like to know if using it for a long period might dull its effects. My panic attacks usually happen during night time, and Benadryl helps me in getting good sleep. I am asking you for help because my GP gave me a very weird solution. She asked me to take a jog around the house or do some strenuous activity which might tire me out and force me to get good sleep.
Now it might have been a good idea had I not been half-asleep.
Any suggestions are welcome.
