What are the long-term effects of yearly drug abuse (400 + mg of dyphenhydramine a night)?

Question by Edward: What are the long-term effects of yearly drug abuse (400 + mg of dyphenhydramine a night)?
I’ve recently caught up with an old friend and I’ve just learned about his ‘addiction’ (Bottle says ‘non-habit forming’) to over the counter sleeping pills containing dyphenhydramine, and he claims that he’s been taking four hundred plus mg a night of this stuff for years and has built a very strong tolerance so he’s had to take more to get the same affects out of it. He said he didn’t start out at four hundred mg, but his continued abuse of it led to more and more pills.

He’s really odd now. What are the long-term effects that this could have caused too him?

Answer by essentiallysolo
I’ll bet he’s odd. His liver is likely all fouled up and putting out toxins that damage the brain. Your friend should see a doctor before the damage is irreversible, if it isn’t already.
