Question 2

can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine) and dramamine together, i have seasonal allergies but i am also suffering with a slight inner ear issue that's making me nauseous?

Accepted Answer

SAME DRUG: BENADRYL (diphenhydramine) AND DRAMAMINE CONTAINE THE SAME ANTIHISTAMINE. IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF THE DRUG AS THEY ARE ANTICHOLINERGICS AND HAVE SIDE EFFECTS ( DRY MOUTH, URINARY RETENTION AND ACUTE ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA CAN OCCUR). IF YOU ARE HAVING INNER EAR PROBLEMS ASK YOUR DOC WHETHER YOU;D BE BETTER OFF WITH MECLIZINE.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

a can make you very : Tired.  See her doctor for one of the newer allergy medications that do not make your tired and allow you to function when you have an allergy problem.

Question 4

can meclizine (dramamine all day less drowsy) cause dizziness even though that's a symptom it can be used for?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This product is from a family of antihistamines. Each individual may have an unusual or "idiosyncratic" response to such meds that differ from most people. If the symptoms arise in a timeframe paired with taking this med &amp; nothing else explains it, it would be reasonable to conclude that it caused them.

Question 7

i have crohn's disease and am on imuran. i'm also taking a small vacation sailing. any reason i can't take dramamine (dimenhydrinate)?

Accepted Answer

No: Imuran and Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) should be fine together. Note you might look into Zofran (ondansetron), another good anti nausea Rx which can also be used for motion sickness.

Question 8

can dramamine (dimenhydrinate) help with nausea caused by anxiety? and can it help with nausea caused by a severe caffeine intolerance? thanks.

Accepted Answer

Check with pcp: Best not to self-medicate. Caffeine is a stimulant that may be triggering anxiety ---&gt; nausea. Have your pcp check for any underlying cause of nausea. Meanwhile, avoid caffeine and try to reduce your stress: eg, deep breathing, exercise, write down what triggers anxiety. Counseling with a therapist for stress reduction may be helpful. If anxiety/nausea persists, ask doctor about anti-anxiety meds.

Question 9

can meclizine hcl (dramamine nausea) cause upset stomach?

Accepted Answer

: Both meclizine and dramamine are antihistamine drugs but they are not the same. Both can be used for nausea and vomiting, i.e. to treat motion sickness but nausea and vomiting are also listed as their side effects. I do not know what you mean by upset stomach but stomach pain is not a common side effect of both drugs.

Question 10

i am taking junel 1/20 so my question is can i take dramamine for motion sickness or will
the birth control junel 1/20 loss it effectiveness and  cause pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Still effective: No change in effectiveness. Commonly-used over-the-counter medications (such as Dramamine) do not alter the effectiveness of birth control pills. This is assuming a person is not sick with vomiting or rapid diarrhea, or some other condition that decreases the absorption of a swallowed birth control pill.
