A member asked:
Is it unsmart to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25mg at night with seroquil for sleep...bad idea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, bad combination: Would increase CNS depression and psychomotor retardation, and possibly cause respiratory depression. Good that you asked, always exercise caution when using multiple medications
