hey guys quick question I'm on 25 mg of Zoloft and tonight I took Benadryl because of my allergies. Does anyone know If this is safe? I would search the Internet but I stopped doing that cuz that increased my anxiety. Sooo if anyone knows anything let me know please!
I'm 22 no allergies, no high blood pressure or cholesterol. Medicines I take is Zoloft 25 mg ( I'm in the weaning process) after taking the medicine for 6 months.
Thanks guys!

Hey! I checked the drug interaction list at drugs.com and there is not a major interaction between those two....just moderate interaction, meaning it could cause s bit of increased dizziness and they don't recommend driving while taking the two.

Benadryl is not a cough syrup! Benadryl is used to temporarily relieve symptoms due to hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies. It's active ingredient is diphenhydramine HCI..........Antihistamine.


I use benadryl to help me sleep when my anxiety kicks in, it really works.

You mentioned you take benadryl for allergies, but a few sentences down you say you have no allergies. Benadryl is a over the counter drug, it shouldn't have any side effect with other pills other than feeling sleepy.

Well I said I have no known allergies meaning I'm not allergic to any drugs that I know of.
I think I have the common flu because I'm coughing way worse. Might need to see the doctor tomorrow.
I'm weaning off Zoloft so hopefully not weird side effects!
Thanks y'all for the comments :)
Have a great day!
