    My doctor said that all medicines are poisons that have some beneficial side effects, so yes, I have had beneficial side effects from taking meds.

    I will sometimes take the antihistamine diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for itchy skin. One side effect is drowsiness, so I only take it in the evening to help me sleep through my shoulder pain.

  • I was going to say what Element said. Sometimes the drowsiness caused by Benadryl is a good thing.
