Dear Angie,

A few years back my dad had some sinus problems. As usual he was

having a problem, with a sinus condition and took his usual Benadryl

that usually took care of the problem. After taking the Benadryl a

short while later he passed out standing at the kitchen sink. I took

him to the hospital and found out that the Benadryl he took caused a

problem with his regular medication.

I'm not saying taking Benadryl would not help, and I certainly would

not assume to know more than . To me I think she is one of

the best advisors on this board and has helped me out with a number

of questions, and problems I've had. I think of as one of

our guardian angels. She is right the beadryl will make you drowsy.

All I mean is check with your doctor or pharmacist about taking

anything OTC to make sure it will not conflict with your other

medications.

Sometimes even doctors can make mistakes. About 2yrs ago the doctor

put me on Ultram a new pain med. on the market and I took it with the

Phenergan I was on for years. I had 2 episodes of seizures and had to

see a neurologist and found out that taking the two drugs together

had caused the seizures. I'm no longer taking the Ultram but I still

have to take medication to keep me from having any more seizure

episodes.

Just to be safe now I always check with my doctor and my pharmacist

to make sure.

Good luck and I hope you are feeling better soon.

LOL,

Janet
