Image: 4 panels organized in a rectangle following a sequential order like a comic strip. The first panel is of a man with a very serious face stating, "Hey man, got any diphenhydramine?" The second panel is a grainy picture of the actor Tony Stark with a slightly inquisitive face and saying, "What's that?" The third panel is an identical copy of the first image and saying, "Benadryl the allergy medicine." The fourth and final panel is a grainy picture of Tony Stark rolling his eyes and taking a deep breath.

This meme is based off of a real life experience. I knew a guy that was taking NyQuil to go to sleep. I told him he'd save a lot of money and his liver if he just bought diphenhydramine since that's the substance in NyQuil that's making him drowsy. He said. "What's that?" I obviously responded, "Benadryl the allergy medicine," and he seriously sighed and rolled his eyes at me. He was so sick of my crap ๐Ÿ˜†

Edit: Yay!! I'm so happy people like a meme I created ๐Ÿ˜

Not autistic (never been tested, wouldn't surprise me though).

Anyway, I work... medically adjacent. IT support for medical folks.

Being precise with your medications and dosages is much appreciated by everyone involved. Keep it up!

Also, OP, depending on locale, NyQuil can have different things in it, including being up to 10% ethanol.

But yeah, 50mg of diphenhydramine HCL, and a shot or a beer would do it for most.
