A member asked:

My friend mixed 10 mucenex with benadryl (diphenhydramine) and dayquil and a little bit of liquid mucenex. is she going to die?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Probably not: Since Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Mucinex have a very high safety margin, she will just feel miserable for a couple of days. However you have got to get her to see a psychiatrist asap due to the suicidal attempt.
