In reply to Can I take basic Benadryl on Nardil?, posted by UgottaHaveHope on April 7, 2007, at 18:09:47
Benadryl is an antihistamine. It's OK with MAOIs. It's decongestants (e.g., pseudophedrine) that are dangerous. What you need to beware of are pills that combine antihistamines and decongestants. Most drugs promoted as "cold remedies" fall into this category, and therefore cannot be mixed with MAOIs.
