This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Do not fuck with benadryl. Do not even take it for allergies.
Best OTC sleep aid there is. Melatonin is not what everyone thinks it is.
Can you expand on that? I take melatonin every day, have I been poisoning myself?
It's more of a placebo than an actual sleep aid. It's not harmful though. If you want to take it, don't worry. If you think it helps, then in some small way it does.
Awesome, thanks!
But if you NEED to fall asleep in the next hour 25-50mg of diphenhydramine, 1-2 normal Benadryl or Advil/Tylenol/Motrin PM(with they're active ingredients) does a pretty reliable job if you let it. You have to get in bed and give it a shot at working but I find little failure with it. You will however be somewhat groggy in the morning, drink water.
