Benadryl and melatonin?

Question

ok i have to go to work in the morning but like an idiot i drank three cups of coffee about thirty minutes ago. my question is would it be safe to take 3 mg melatonin and 2 benadryls to help my get to sleep? i have never taken them together though. i am 115 lbs if this helps

Answer 1

take one or the other not both... melatonin would probably not work against the coffee... take the benadryle with a cup of milk

Answer 2

They wont hurt you to take together, but you will be groggy and miserable tomorrow. 3 mg og Melatonin is very strong, you'll need to get 8 full hours of sleep to feel okay in the morning. If that's not going to happen, then I would take a Benadryl, they wear off faster.

Answer 3

There aren't any drug interactions between the two.

Maybe try taking one Benadryl first and then if you still haven't fallen asleep after an hour or two take another.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

i take benadryl all the time.  i've never taken it with melatonin.  (honestly dont know what that is).  benadryl alone will knock your *** out cold.  take about 3 of them.  benadryl is a anihistamine blocker and it dries you out so you get really really drowsy.  it also gives you the munchies.

Answer 5

Jeeeez, so you're gonna have the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems warring. How well will you work in the morn ?  (I take melatonin a lot but not to neutralize caffeine.) Its a dilemma but I'd sure not mix in Benadryl.
