I got full dose of Benadry (don't know how much that was) with my 1st loading dose & 2nd dose of Herceptin. Since this made me sleep most of the weekend, I asked to have it cut in half. Now I get a very very nice nap during the treatment and sometimes I take another nap a few hours later at home. Then I'm good the rest of the weekend. I LOVE those naps. It's the best sleep I ever get!
The nurses told me to take a double dose of over-the-counter benadryl at bedtime if I'm having trouble sleeping. They said that would do the same thing for me as what I get at the treatment.
