Topic: benadryl, otherwise known as "i'm an idiot"
Diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benedryl, has local anesthetic properties which probably explains what happened.

Try a tablet next time instead of a capsule. I don't know for sure if Benedryl makes tablets but Claritin (loratadine) does for sure. It's not the same drug, but works just as well.

P.S.- Thumbs up on the vegetarianism and knowing capsules are made of gelatin.
