Last Thursday is the last time I took my Benadryl. Since I have a deviated septum, I have chronic sinus problems such as congestion, pressure, puffiness, etc, so I go through phases where I have to take Benadryl for extended periods of time when I go to sleep every night. Sometimes I have to take them every night for weeks at a time, and then it will ease up and I don't have to take any. (I know I need surgery, that this isn't healthy, etc but I have no health insurance, so please no lectures or "go see a doc" here).
Well last Wednesday night/Thursday morning was the last time I took the Benadryl, and since then I just haven't needed to really take it, so I stopped. Maybe I was taking them for a longer period than usual, but now I have horrible withdrawal syndrome.
I can deal with the fatigue, shakiness, and dizziness, but I'm posting here about the withdrawal headaches I'm getting. I have had a bad withdrawal headache from not taking the Benadryl since THURSDAY.
It's Tuesday.
It just refuses to go away. I have been laying on the couch inactive with this headache for 5 days. I am drinking water. WTF? Everytime it calms down a bit it flares up bad again. I try Excedrin, Aleve, Ibuprofen. Even Ativan. Nothing is knocking this out.
How long can withdrawal headaches last??? Is there ANYTHING I can do to make it go away? Enough is enough, I want my life back!
Also, when will the nausea go away?
