I am on 50mg of zoloft (sertraline) for anxiety and wondering if i can take diphenhydramine to help me sleep. i worry about them interacting but i can't sleep:(?

Go ahead....: If you know that Benadryl (diphenhydramine) helps you sleep( that is its typical effect), then go ahead and use it as necessary. In general Benadryl will work better if you don't take it every single night. Use it when you need it.
