Last night I had some sleeping pills, but I never use them as I sleep fine. The substance that it contains is Diphenhydramine. I was just looking for a neat "high" just to get by, and each pill was about 25mg. I took about 300-400mg worth of it over the span of 30 minutes as I was playing a SMITE game. Now, it was probably about 10PM when I headed to bed and I wasn't really feeling anything. It was just maybe a few motion blurs here and there, but I felt fine.
I went to sleep, and I kept waking up which is ironic due to it being a SLEEPING pill. I woke up, or it felt like I woke up, every hour. When I woke up the first time, I was not feeling too hot. It's the kind of feeling you get when you know you need to throw up, and your stomach is telling you to, but you can't. Intermittently of me waking up, I'd go get a drink of water, milk, etc and try to go to bed. At about 2AM I woke up for around the 4th time and I could not get back to bed. About the drug I had taken -- over 300MG is basically a threshold high I read, and this is where I started having hallucinations. I've never had any hallucinations before as I usually stuck to weed a few years back, but I did not expect this.
I saw spiders -- everywhere. Now, I'm a bitch when it comes to spiders so now as a sober me, I realize it's not that weird for me to not be hallucinating spiders everywhere. At first, I felt like they were crawling all over me and I'd try to hit them off. It only got worse. 15 minutes in, I see baby spiders everywhere. Little black motherfuckers, I could of sworn they were real. I got out of bed, got another drink, but was too frightened to go back into my room. I slept on our living room couch only unable to sleep, and I continue to feel crawled over. I tried hitting the spiders, getting em off, but the feel of them BITING me was everywhere. I even felt them biting around my balls.
I tried to not think about it and go to sleep, and as I was staring in front of me at our window with some curtains, I saw spiders crawling down it and spiders coming from the roof of my house onto me. This is where I had lost it. I wanted to just wake up, and go play some computer games. I go into my room, get my clothes real quick still with the fear of spiders being everywhere, and head downstairs. The feelings come back of spiders crawling up my leg and biting me and all over, and it honestly got old. I wanted to stop this or go to bed, but it wouldn't stop. I still had an uneasy feeling in my stomach, but I couldn't think about that. I go back upstairs and my Dad just tells me to try and drink some milk and go to bed. I went back into my bed, and I only saw more spiders everywhere. I went into the bathroom and could swear I could see spider bites all over my body, on my upper back, and even on my forearm.
I go into my Mom's room and attempt to tell her what's going on. She says to take a shower, and then I tell her to come see. She says she saw no spider bites, so I take her downstairs to show her the spiders. When I get downstairs, only 1 light was working so light was dim. I could see in all 4 spiders. 2 huge albinos that were fighting, and 2 misc ones. I kept telling my mom, "Do you see? You see the spiders?" and she continually said no. I swore it was real, and to prove her.. I stomped on them with a show, only thing is, in my eyes, the spiders didn't die and no spiders were on the shoe or ground. My mom asked me if I was on drugs, and I attempted to throw her off of that accusation. We go back upstairs to check my room, and still, no spiders could be seen. She goes back to bed, and I hop the shower to try and throw off my head from this, but I kept seeing the baby spiders I saw in my room fall off my body and go down the drain.
As real as everything felt, it finally ended when the hallucinations sort of went away and I tried to keep myself together. Went back to bed in my room, and finally slept until about 9:30AM, and stayed up till about 11AM and went back to bed until about 3AM. I slept a lot, and finally I feel normal again. I'm only glad it's over, and I don't plan to do this drug ever again.
