Which thread?

His Evangelion fanfic, I assume.

So I just took a Benadryl (or generic equivalent) for allergies and I noticed the active ingredient is Diphenhydramine HCl, which...is the exact same active ingredient in the OTC sleeping pill I sometimes take. Are there other things in both pills, or are they the EXACT SAME THING? (Well, other than dosage, my sleeping pill is 50mg as opposed to 25 for the allergy pill).
Mlle Germain:
Antihistamines also make you drowsy, which is why they are also used for very low-key, harmless sleeping pills. I took those for a while because I had trouble sleeping due to exam stress and they worked quite well for me (I also had some with Diphenhydramine).
So yeah, it's exactly the same thing and the paper that comes with the sleepy ones usually says you shouldn't take any other antihistamines on top (easier to overdose - I'm not sure how harmful it is if you do, but maybe better not try).
Method of Madness:
Well I don't take the sleeping pills every night, so I'll just make sure not to tonight.
