A member asked:
Do you think benadryl is to blame for my dry tongue? also on 80 mg geodon (ziprasidone).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The older class of antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) possesses strong anti-cholinergic action which tends to dry up your mouth (the same action which dries up the runny nose).
