> I'd like to know how effective benadryl is in treating eps in the short term. ex. restlessness and dystonic reactions to meds
I was given Benadryl 50mg I.V. in the ER for a dystonic reaction to Stelazine year ago. The dystonia stopped within seconds after the injection. They sent me home with 25mg capsules of Benadryl to take 4x daily for three days. If you are getting significant EPS symptoms from your AP, you might want to see if you can switch to an AP that doesn't cause it.
hope this helps,
Mitch
