Do you get a hangover in the am from meds? I also have insomnia. Sleep meds, muscle relaxants, etc. make me feel bad for the first few hours in the am. I gave up on everything, and just suffer. Bummer.

Yes! I do, anyway. And the problem is, the best sleep I get is between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. All the hours before then I'm sort-of sleeping, awake, somewhat sleeping. __________________ |

I think if your doctor tells you its ok, then you have to take their word. My concern would be depression of the respiratory system. Any medication that makes you sleepy is going to interact with meds like benzos. You will be made more sleepy. But if you are someone who handles benedryl well then thats the way it is. I think as a general rule I am compelled to mention the risk because being more sedated is a fact. But it depends on the person and what their doctor says. I have had to take bendryl with benzos and have done fine.

I took some NyQuil High blood pressure cough medicine. I used that stuff when I had my really bad cold in January and I had no issues. Worked really well for sleep too.

I can't comment except to say...compare the price of Zquil to generic Benadryl, also called diphenhydramine. You are spending boo-coo bucks for Zquil.
Other than that, my advice is to talk to your doctor. What is fine for one person can be poison for another. __________________  You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. ~ Robin Williams Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? ~ Pink Floyd |

I've had pdocs who've prescribed benadryl, but it never works as well as ZzzQuil does. I have no idea why, since the active ingredient is diphenhydramine.

I’m going to the store in a bit to get some unisom. These sleep issues are driving me crazy. I’ve had Benadryl recently and I did just fine. It made unbearably drowsy though. If I can take handfuls of melatonin and cough syrup and still be alive, I think I’ll be fine with the unisom. Plus there’s no therapist to yell at me about it.

I take seroquel, lorazepam, and part of a pill of ambien to get to sleep. I am also on a cpap machine and oxygen. Nothing keeps me asleep the whole night but I go right back to sleep after I wake up.
Psych meds never caused my insomnia. I have had it since a child. And about hangover I also don't know because medicated or unmedicated I have always been over tired in the morning. I used to take hydroxizine and I also used to take benadryl. And we also tried the melatonin route. However I needed something stronger and that was before the cpap and oxygen, so it was a long long time ago. All meds I took, over the counter or not, I always ran by my pdoc or took on the pdoc's recommendation. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
