I got a double dose of Benadryl with my 1st triple-dose of Herceptin.
I napped for almost 3 hrs while at the treatment center! I asked that they cut the Benadryl in half and that suits me fine. I really don't want to cut back on the Benadryl anymore, because that's the only really decent sleep I get! lol
My understanding is that the Benadryl cuts down on any allergic reactions to the Herceptin.
