Hate to break it to you, but 50mg is pretty much a common dosage for most people taking Diphen. At least where I lived over the past few decades... This is mostly due to the effect of 'if 1 pill is almost enough to do the job, then 2 pills should be adequate'. You see this a lot with people who take Tylenol and/or Advil. Tylenol overdoses are more common because of the frequency of acetaminophens use in other medications in combination with people taking Tylenol not realizing they are doubling/tripling their doses.

So having people end up driving on 50mg+ doses of the dryl is not uncommon in places like Canada. Pair it with a dose or two of pseudoephidrine hydrochloride as well, and you basically have a breath easy cocktail that might put you to sleep, or might keep you awake all night.

Yeah this makes sense to me. We have lots of people driving around at 0.1% BAC too.
