You are right, I just read this article:

Probably no more dangerous that unexpired benadryl (which is pretty dangerous) I had forgotten all about this, but I took most of a package of benadryl (15-20 pills?) because I had to do a weekend in county, and wanted to sleep through most of it (possible UA for benzos) Anyway, it took them forever to book me in, and I started to get some weird visuals where everything was gray and yellow. Yeah, I slept most of the weekend, and I even woke up. You might not be as lucky.

I use expired contact lens eye drops, does that count?
