benedryl and xanax?

Question

can i take them together if not, how far apart

Answer 1

Give me a break. It all depends upon your tolerance.
I wouldn't start taking these meds together when you have to drive but when you are about to go to bed, the combo will not do any harm.
You won't die, i promise.
Just take the recommend dose of both.I do it all the time.

Answer 2

That is a loaded question - they are both quite sedative and, depending on your weight, metabolism and any other drugs you may be taking, you could end up really really really really out of it.

I personally would not take both together without talking to my doctor first. If you are having a severe allergic reaction, then the benefit of taking the benadryl may be worth it. If not, I would hold off until I spoke to a medical professional......

By the way, you can always pick up the phone and call the local hospital. Most have an R.N on staff to field calls like this at this hour.

Answer 3

If you want to wake up, do not take them together. I personally wouldn't even take them on the same day, but you should ask a pharmacist about the spacing of taking them.

Of course, if you don't want to talk to a pharmacist because you don't have a prescription for xanax, then you really shouldn't be taking it at all.

Answer 4

Well, I can only tell you that we use them together as a pre- op med for a patient getting ready to go to surgery. What do think will happen if you take them both together while not being in a controlled environment like a hospital? Yep,.that's right. Bad combination. You need to call your doc and ask him/her.

Answer 5

I wouldn't take those 2 together. They both tend to make a person sleepy. ask your doc about how far apart to take them.

Answer 6

They are different kinds of drugs. Except they both make you sleepy. They won't hurt you together, but if it makes you feel better about it, take them about 2 hours apart.

Answer 7

If you want to sleep-beware you may stop breathing
