This is a bad idea.  Both have similar effects and enhance each other.  This is a good way to end up in the hospital or an early grave.  Depressant/sedative drugs should not be mixed with other drugs or alcohol

Benadryl or cheaper, but identical generic allergy medications containing diphenhydramine hydrochloride.  Each capsule contains 25 mg.  I take 2 or 3.  It feels like you're falling asleep naturally, which is not the case with over the counter drugs sold for the purpose of putting you to sleep.

i am guessing that benedryl, an antihistamine would be given, or adrenaline. it depends on the reaction.

I used to do a lot of reading about this stuff...\nIf i remember correctly,caffeine won't stay in your system for any longer than 4 hours.

Well, I know they make a Tylenol PM which is basically Unisom and aceteminophen. And there might even be an ibuprofen version I can't remember. So in my opinion there is no problem whatsoever, IOW it would be at least as safe as Tylenol PM and probably safer.

never take Nyquil and Dayquil together with Benadril. Talking cats might be funny, but when they start changing colors, you need to see a doctor.

Shouldn't affect you, but make sure you don't swallow any saliva for a few minutes after. If you are still not sure, ask your pharmacist. They know their stuff!

alternating 600mgs of ibuprohen and 2 hours later a couple of extra strength tylenol works well for people who can take these drugs without problems

Yes it is very dangerous.Both are depressants and could cause deadly affects.

Not really. When you say "in between", that would assume that the drugs are similar. As you say, Adderall is a stimulant and Wellbutrin is an antidepressant with benefits for ADD'ers. (I take that, and I find it quite helpful, I'm not as impulsive.) It wouldn't address sleep at all, though. To clarify, if you are trying to do two different things, there is no "in between".\n\nOver-the-counter things you could try could include two or three benedryl (I've been taking four for years, pharmacologically safe, a "loading dose" as a pharmacologist would say). Things that your doctor could do could include amytriptylene or trazodone. What I absolutely would avoid would be habit forming drugs like Xanax or Restoril, and especially alcohol. ADD'ers have very high rates of substance abuse, so avoid those like the plague if you know what's good for you.\n\nGood luck, and be an informed consumer with your doc.\n\nWith regards to the previous comment, listen, just go away. I honestly have better things to do with my time than to honor you with attention, but here goes. Please, find a reason to exist. Be helpful. Channel your feelings into making the world better, not your whipping boy.

Ibuprohen works the best for me. I can double the dose and not have any problems. Okay, my doctor said it was okay to double the dose! sheesh! Asperin doesn't do anything, as well as Tylenol. Advil is the same as Ibuprohen but costs more.

Well....as an ALLERGIST/IMMUNOLOGIST I can tell you no doc worth his/her salt and interested in helping patients MAKES a patient wait, so it's likely as you stated your delay is your elective choice due to insurance issues.  Until then, you are taking OTC meds, some of which have side effects, but not really to a young person's kidneys.  For Benadryl watch for sleep cycle disruptions (you may get easily sedated to GET to sleep but awaken feeling "hung over" due to this!), and sudafed is the opposite -- stimulation, caffeine-like side effects (also therefore NOT a great choice at bedtime!).  For OTC relief until Sept., I'd recommend a non-sedating antihistamine such as Claritin or Alavert for AM use or PM use, with an added Sudafed for congestion if necessary earlier in the day (AM or PM, but NOT bedtime!).  Nasal saline washed 4-8 times a day are wonderful, zero side effects and very cleansing of nasal mucosal tissues, which helps avoid pollens from adhering to them, thus precipitating allergic symptoms!! GOOD LUCK!!! Let me know how you're doing (and where you're at...I'll let you know if your selected Allergist is board-certified!).

No-well I guess if it's a REALLY strong one you could sleep for awhile but not 3 days.  Everyboey reacts differently to med's if I take a benedryl I"m out in 1/2 hour if my hubby does he is amped.  It all depends on your body.\nBe careful

I'm sorry you are in pain :(\n\n  Maximum allowable dosage of ibuprophen for an adult is 800mg, that will take the edge off and is an excellent anti-inflammitory. I would personally stay away from alcohol, or over the counter numbing jels or mouth rinses. Most of those contain alcohol, which is full of sugar, dries the tissues and irritates the tissue. \n\n     Cool liquids to drink, stay away from extremes of heat of any type. Applied heat can really worsen any type of situation. \n\n  If you had an infection, you may have been given antibiotics. Take the entire rx until they are gone. \n\n        Good luck, feel better soon!
