Please educate me why is benadrl bad for rls

[Guest guest]

I was taking Benadrl for a long time it was the only thing that really

helped me sleep that I had found until the doctor put me on Klonopin.

But it did not help me sleep well. It would just knock me out for short

an hour to so at a time.With out it i had night mares when resting.I

still woke often and it took me a long time to calm down and stay in bed

and go to sleep. And I had to take more and more of even even though I

went on vacations from it from time to time. I was taking 96 milligrams

a night.But I do want to know why is it bad for RlS. Jeanie Stout

Jeannie, Antihistamines have the potential to aggravate RLS for some

people. I personally found out that I can't take benydril, it will knock

me out but my legs get worse than ever. I couldn't wake up all the way,

yet my legs were driving me nuts, it was the most horrid feeling. I

don't know why the Antihistamines do this so if you want a technical

reason, I can't help you. Different medications react different with

people, if you took it in the past and it helped, great.

Best of luck
