    Benadryl causing thirst
    I was taking 3 bebadryls or a month and a half. The other day, I began to feel thirsty and exhausted. No amount of water made me feel better. I stopped taking benadryls two days ago, but still feel groggy and thirsty (although not as thirsty). How much longer will this last? What should I do?

    Two of the side effects of benadryl are dry mouth and thirst. This should wear off as soon as stop taking it. Should last a couple more days.

    All I can suggest is drink a lot of water (yes I know) and flush your kidneys rapidly. As for diabetes, yes thirst is one of the symptoms, but so is excessive urinating. Which you are going to doing lots of in the next few days if you want to get the benadryl out of your system.
