Mixing medications...Nyquil and Benedryl?!
Question: Is it safe to mix Nyquil and Benedryl? I'm fighting off a cold, but I take Benedryl at night so my eczema doesn't itch so badly.

Hi, I'm a pharmacist and it is not advisable to take the 2 together. Just like one of the others answers says, you would be getting twice as much sedative medication as you should. That said, I don't think that it would cause any real problems other than making you quite sleepy.
I would not mix the two, mixing is dangerous, you could call your local pharmacy and ask a pharmacist if mixing them is okay. Thats what I would do.
anytime you take two sedatives the medications add to one another. I wouldn't recommend it unless you ok it with your doctor
Mixing medicationscan be very dangerous..Nyquil and Benadryl both have about the same effect on a person, image that doubled...I would not wake up for days.
to answer your question it is fine i have done it a couple of times with no negative side effects
