Question by e!: Do drug tests test for diphenhydramine (benadryl)?
I have a drug test next week and was wondering if taking benadryl would matter. Is it tested for at all? Will they see how much was taken?

Best answer:

Answer by ckm1956
They only test for “drugs of abuse”. While you DO see stupid questions on here like “Can I get high on cxd?”, all benadryl does is dry your mouth and make you sleepy. Also, since it doesn’t require an Rx, they don’t test on it.

There is a test for benedryl and it does show how much was taken.

However, it has to be specially requested, it costs a little more and any typical drug tests are not going to test for it.

So you will be fine.    Read more...
