personally I've never had 'spider nightmares' from taking Benadryl, either...
And I didn't need Benadryl to have spider nightmares
I never needed sleep to have spiders.
I will eat those spiders!
I don't even need to sleep to live in a nightmare
Oddly enough, too much melatonin gives me intense nightmares. 3mg or less for me or it's a guaranteed bad time.
I’ve heard of that! From what I understand, melatonin actually works better in smaller doses, like even less than 1 mg. But for some reason it started being sold in higher and higher dosages.
I'm not saying this to be elitist or an asshole, or trying to be "better than"/superior or whatever, but for the most part, people really just aren't that smart and don't care to improve that situation. Think of the dumbest person that you know; statistically, half of all people are dumber than that.
"MORE MG MORE BETTER!"
people in general don't really research drugs or medications very carefully. Myself, I'd ascribe a lot of the blame to manufacturers, who should know better.
I take 3 mg and melatonin actually induces nightmare !
Oh no you will: https://m.psychonautwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Diphenhydramine&_=
