Neurochemistry often has seemingly paradox effects. For people with "normal" dopamine levels, Methylphenidate (Ritalin) is a stimulans, similar to Cocaine (both are Dopamine-Reuptake-Inhibitors, among other effects). For people with low dopamine levels (i.e. ADHD) it allows them to calm down and focus. Perhaps there's a similar thing at work for caffeine.

You may be on to something -- I do have ADHD. I was diagnosed when I was much younger and... ... ... SQUIRREL! :-o

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is used by some doctors to help assist with sleeplessness (it's the "added ingredient" in Tylenol PM and other OTC pain meds that promote sleep).
Topical Benadryl cream probably would have worked better for Marbear, but it might not have been as fast acting.
On the whole, this reminds me of the wedding scene in Sixteen Candles, where the older sister took too many muscle relaxants before the ceremony.

I don't think Mari-bear's gonna be very happy with herself when she wakes up tomorrow and Momo tells her, or she remembers what happened.
Hilarity and angst ensue.

--- Quote ---So some UK "Benadryl One a Day Relief" is best, but Australian "Benadryl Chesty Cough & Nasal Congestion" would be useless, as well as containing pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, a restricted substance in both Australia and the US as it's a common precursor to Methamphetamine. The US version would not be as good as the UK one, but still effective... though possibly with some side effects.

Much to my intense irritation, cold and flu rememdies no longer have pseudoephedrine in them in NZ. As if meth manufacturers can't find alternatives. Grrr. It is my pet hate, because psudoephedrine + vitamin C was my approach to being sick and functioning. Phenylephedrine (replacement) is totally useless. *sulk*

And so she get hives again, and takes benadryl again...
