Paradoxical Reaction to Benedryl

I don't know what to do. I am going days without sleep and nothing works. I don't usually take meds but I have been thru some medical issues and needed meds. I have even refused meds when I realized what was happening, hoping for some relief. I have a paradoxical reaction to Benadryl, ambien, anti nausea meds, morphine, Ativan, toradol, tramadol, codeine, and hydrocodone. They all make me wired.

I have springs in my eyelids and it's uncomfortable to close them and I get aggravating headaches that worsen when I lay down and try to close my eyes. It's more comforting to sit or stand and stay awake. Without meds I stay awake from anxiety. I just want to sleep.
