Stay away from Benadryl, folks.
Kratom is cool if you’re trying to quit opiates or alcohol.
I can’t recommend kava if you don’t live in a place where it’s cheap, but if that isn’t an issue it has reverse tolerance and actually gets more fun the more you use it.
Yeah DPH sucks. I would never recommend anyone ever take it, but especially after early 20's avoid it. Easy way to speed run getting early onset mental disease.
Most I ever took was 800mg, typically dosing around 250mg. I never really hallucinated that much, just the typical spiders, etc. Never saw shadow people (or Hat Man? I don't think that was even a thing back then lmao). It mostly just made it impossible to sleep despite making me feel incredibly tired/high body load/uncomfortable.
It's only really "fun" if you are able to do something that you can zone in on, that keeps your brain engaged and distracts you from the negative side effects, like a really engaging video game. Most of the time I'd just end up feeling too tired to do anything and would just feel miserable for the next 16 hours, though.
I abused it for like a couple days to a week, last month, basically for its chemical lobotomy effects because I was severely heartbroken and had no way of getting fetty (which I would have possibly used to yeet myself). I took 200mg and let my mammalian brain brown out.
