Can I take Benadryl and a sleep aid together?
I'm trying to get rid of some allergic reactions but I also have severe insomnia. The drowsiness from the Benadryl isn't strong enough to actually put me to sleep. Can I take a sleep aid even though I have Benadryl in my system?

Its best to check with a pharmacist. You can call any drugstore and ask. But it would depend on the sleep aid. Melatonin is naturally produced by your body and is considered a sleep aid.

Linda Joy The benedryl page says " If you suffer from chronic insomnia that occurs at least 3 nights per week and lasts at least 2 weeks, consider the use of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) to resolve the condition instead."
