Question 1

itching & hives for 3 wks. taking benadryl (diphenhydramine) & synthroid. cut out sunscreen, nuts, soy, tomatoes, vitamins, switched laundry det. no relief. now what?

Accepted Answer

Hives: Hives are an allergic reaction.  There are many possible causes of hives-foods, medications, infections, inflammatory or autoimmune conditions. Did you start any new meds, supplements, foods, etc? Recent onset hives, if there is no apparent cause, are treated with antihistamines.  Hives lasting &gt; 6 weeks need a workup to look for causes. Please see your dermatologist right away for evaluation.

Question 2

interaction between synthroid (thyroxine) and  sleep-eze (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) ?

Accepted Answer

No significant: Medication interactions were noted when using a drug interaction checker. But that is never a 100% guarantee.

Question 3

can flagyl cause hypertonicity & limbs/face numbness as side effect? was also taking percocet, benedryl, phenergan, (promethazine) synthroid, & klonopin w/no issue.

Accepted Answer

Rule out alcohol: Flagyl can cause a build up of a toxic substance if taken with alcohol.  The alcohol can be consumed or can be assimilated by hand washes, mouth washes, etc.  The toxic build up would be my first guess as to the reason for the side effects noted.   With a pharmacist or online you can search for known side effects of Flagyl (metronidazole).

Question 4

what happens if you take too much benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): It ususally makes you have a dry mouth and get very sleepy.

Question 5

is it okay if to take 2 benadryls (diphenhydramine) and i melatonin?

Accepted Answer

Doses?: Depends on the dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine).  If you have insomnia, sleep hygiene is an often overlooked, yet more effective treatment, than medications.  In addition, the combination of medications could impair decision making, cause undesired drowsiness, and other side effects.  Speak with your doctor, before taking any combination of medications.  Do not drive/operate heavy machinery under their influence.

Question 6

would it be ok to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) that expired in 11/09?

Accepted Answer

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Taking medication that expired almost 5 years ago is probably not a good idea.  It may be safe, but I don't know for sure.  If we were in the Zombie apocalypse and you had no other choice I would say go for it.  But since generic diphenhydramine is cheap, why don't you make a trip to your local store and buy some new.

Question 7

what would happen if someone takes a benadryl (diphenhydramine) & 5mg vicdion together?

Accepted Answer

More sleepy: Nothing serious at these low doses although you may feel more sleepy since the sedation effects of ech medicine add up. But it should be fine after 12-18 hours.

Question 8

can i take benadryl with my cymbalta?

Accepted Answer

: No known drug drug interaction between Cymbalta and Benadryl. Drug specific side effects still apply and should be discussed with your prescriber and/ or pharmacist.

Question 9

can u take benadryl and trazodone together ?

Accepted Answer

Both depress CNS: Each of the drugs listed is capable of depressing the function of the central nervous system (CNS). The concomitant use of two or more drugs that have the potential to depress CNS function (either as a therapeutic intention or a side effect) is often clinically appropriate.
If not already drowsy by trazodone, you can start low dose of benadryl and see how do you feel. if too drowsy, suspend

Question 10

can you take meloxicam and benadryl together?

Accepted Answer

Should be ok if...: If a person had no problems taking meloxicam (Mobic) in the past for some medical condition, and separately had no problem taking diphenhydramine (Benadryl) in the past, then she should be ok taking the medications at the same time. If worried, she can ask her doctor who prescribed the meloxicam. Benadryl does cause drowsiness, so can be unsafe for certain activities such as driving or piloting.
