I use Benadryl for skin reactions (allergic to things like bee and wasp stings, poison ivy, etc) and literally need it to survive the summer and be able to sleep without misery.

Regular Benadryl doesn't contains phenylephrine which the FDA is saying doesn't work for decongestion. "Benadryl Allergy Plus Decongestant" contains phenylephrine + diphenhydramine. So regular Benadryl should not be banned if they move forward with something .

It will still be available at 8 times the cost, with a doctors visit!
