A member asked:
Is it ok to take nyquil with 3mg of xanax (alprazolam) when the xanax (alprazolam) has been in my system for 3 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OTC cold med: Nyquil contains doxylamine, an antihistamine which is sedating . It will interact with Xanax (alprazolam) still in your system to increase drowsiness and may cause dizziness. Ask your pcp or pharmacist to recommend a cold med with a non-sedating antihistamine which is safer. Hope this helps.
