Mixing 2C-x (2C-B) and Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
Caution
Diphenhydramine tends to turn a trip confusing and unpleasant rather than stronger. Take less of each than usual, and do not use alone.
Diphenhydramine's deliriant character muddies psychedelic effects and commonly turns them confusing and unpleasant rather than enhancing them.
The risk here is to the experience — intensity, panic, thought loops, confusion. Physical harm is unlikely at ordinary doses. Setting, company and dose do most of the work.
