Not in the medical profession,, BUTT
I think you should spend time determining the cause of your fainting spells, and less on the use of Benadryl to mitigate the symptoms.
Dizziness/fainting, be it physical or mental, is a NO-GO in SF,, and for most Infantry assignments.
When the time arises, and we are about hop over the wall and do bodily hard to the bad guy(S),, I would not be happy with a troop that says,,
"Hold on, I need my Benadryl and may need to wait 20 minutes for it to kick in before I can join the fight"
or call in CAS
or the HALO jump
or set the demo charge
or start the IV and triage
or lock-out of the dive chamber
or peel the potatoes in the mess
or .........
Kapish??
