Question 1

is it safe to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) with clonazepam at night?

Accepted Answer

Its still unsafe: Run this by your neurologist.

Question 2

am i able to take benadryl with the medications i currently am taking? fluoxetine 40mg/1day. clonazepam/1 day. 
trazadone at night for sleep

Accepted Answer

No: All the meds you list cause sedation. Benadryl at bedtime causes sedation as well. If you can't fall asleep may need reevaluation or sleep testing at the lab.
Too many drugs interactions can be dangerous and you might not wake up. See a physician for expert advice when combining controlled and sedative meds. If you have sleep apnea none of the above will cure it. Oxygen is the answer.

Question 3

can i take  a benadryl (diphenhydramine) if on 1mg clonazepam a day?  having some allergies but don't want no respiratory or heart affects. thanks

Accepted Answer

Maybe: These 2 drugs have additive effects when given together although not contraindicated.  A better choice would be Allegra or Zyrtec rather than Benadryl (diphenhydramine).  Hope that helps!

Question 4

i accidentally took ibuprofen pm 38 mg of benadryl with 0.5mg of clonazepam and i am kind of worried to go to sleep now. should i have coffee?

Accepted Answer

: If you are wishing to try and sleep, I would not suggest that you drink coffee.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Most likely you can. But check with PCP.

Question 6

Question 7

hello, i took claritin and used benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream about 24 hours ago, is it safe to take pepto bismol for an upset stomach, or is mixing the two bad?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: No interaction between pepto-Bismol and Benadryl (diphenhydramine)

Question 8

is it possible for mixing like 20mg of clonazepam and 30 mg of risperdal to cause a overdose?

Accepted Answer

The only reason that: I can think of that someone would ask that question is if they were planning to hurt themselves.  When people announce that, even on an anonymous website, I view it as a call for help.  I strongly urge you to get mental health counseling, either by telling your primary care provider that you are having these thoughts or going to an emergency department.

Question 9

i know that mixing clonazepam and alcohol is dangerous, but if i took 2mg of clobazepam can i have a couple of drinks a couple of hours later? im 18

Accepted Answer

Very dangerous: Absolutely not. Combining benzodiazepines with alcohol can cause respiratory depression and death.
