Hi

Tyler is taking diphenhydramine. Diphenhydramine is not a sympathomimetic. BENADRYL is used as a brand name for *many* OTC products, some of which contain decongestants. Decongestants are sympathomimetics which can induce hypertension when administered to a patient who is taking an MAOI.

AFAIK, Tyler is just taking plain diphenhydramine, nothing else.

Be very careful with OTC products. Be sure to read all the ingredients on every pack. BE AWARE that the same brand name is used for many different products, with DIFFERENT active ingredients - some of which will interact, and some of which will not.
