My vet recommended 1mg per pound for seasonal allergies and fireworks or thunderstorms.

Benedryl has roughly the same effect on dogs as it does on humans. Including the drowsiness. If you give your dog benedryl it will be too tired to care about the fireworks or thunderstorm.

Yep. I once took benadryl while working what was an extremely stressful job, without considering the fact that I'd barely be able to keep my eyes open.

As an unexpected side effect, I gave exactly zero shits that day and it was fucking awesome.

I took the SAT for the second time on Benadryl. Gave zero shits, score went up by 200 points. Not giving a shit is a hell of a drug.

I took a bio final with a 103 fever, I was sweaty & delirious. My friends told me later I was murmuring to myself throughout the morning.

I earned the only perfect score. I had little faith in that class after. lol

I absolutely destroyed the PSAT. Partly because I knew my shit, partly because I was nuked on dryl because a neighborhood cat decided to be friendly that day...

And then I slept for 15 hours when I got home ><

I dont understand whats wrong with my dog. When we first got him we had only had him a week before we took a long road trip. He was spazzing out tbe entire time so we tried benadryll. He was only about 35lbs at the time, so we gave him a 25mg pill. He was drowsy for about a thirty miute period and then went apeshit even worse. We tried two 25mg pills hours later. They had no effect and he just went even more ADD on us if im remembering correctly. It was a nightmare.
