Question by James M: is it safe to take Benadryl (severe sinus relief) every night?
Ive been taking Benadryl (2 pills) every night for the past couple of weeks to help me goto sleep (i dont have any severe insomnia or disorders, but im perscribed adderal (2 15mg extended release every day) for ADD and its impossible to goto sleep) and i was wondering what are the dangers in doing this i heard something about dependence but im not sure thats an issue here (due to not developing tolerance)
btw: the chemicals in the brand im taking are (in each pill)
Diphenhydramine HCl 25mg
Acetaminophen 325mg
Phenylephrine HCl 5mg
thanks in advance

Answer by Vincent Evangelista You could definately mess up your liver you take it on a daily bases. You could also become dependent on it, regardless of tolerance. Take it long enough and your body will tell you that you can’t go to sleep without taking the Benadryl.

I’m curious to know due to the fact I’m currently ailed with a sinus infection, however I don’t have the ability to see a doctor about it.
I found out that yes it is safe, due to Benadryl being an anti-hystimine, and AMOXICILLIN an anti-boitic.
Does it? If so ( or not ) what are good remedies for sinus infection. I had plans today and they’re kinda ruined because I got sick. I’m hoping to do enough for me to feel good enough to do things.
I had a sore throat which switched to a chest cold and now it’s everything combined. I feel like punching someone in the face lol I’m so desperate to get better I feel so miserable
I have post nasal drip, my lungs feel like they’re on fire, I have sinus pressure, runny nose, sneezing. I stopped by Walgreens and the pharmacy technician suggested I take Claritin D and to suppress my cough take some Delsym so I purchased both and took them around 2pm. I fell asleep for a few hours, but didn’t get much relief! My nose hurts, the sinus pressure is horrible. Now my question is, I want to sleep this off. I want to take some Benadryl to knock me out and clear things up. Would it be safe for me to take this now? Thanks everyone in advance. I’m going to make some tea with honey and maybe knock someones teeth out (I’m cranky when I’m sick)
I also forgot to mention that this is my first time taking Claritin D and I read up on it and it might take about 2-3 days for it to kick in my system. I can’t wait that long which is why I wanted relief right away. Has anyone taken Claritin D before or know someone who has? If so, can you fill me in about it? Thanks.
