A member asked:
Can taking benadryl actually cause runny nose? could it cause a paradoxical reaction? i have been taking for year for sleep along with antipsychotics.

? the antipsychotics: rather than the benadryl, you didn't mention which one(s) you are on, be careful, drug-drug interaction is prominent with anti-psychotics, ask your doctor to revise all the medicines you are on, and avoid the dangerous combinations, good luck
