> I got some Benadryl for Allery & Sinus Headache.

> I did take a Benadryl on Emsam with no problems. But it was the most basic one. I cant remember if this is the same box. Is there a more basic box (and not the non-drowsy type)?

>To be safe, stick with JUST the antihistamine diphenhydramine HCI. You may have a reaction to phenylephrine (a stimulant related to pseudoephedrine). Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is safe.
Things TO AVOID:
pseudoephedrine
phenylephrine
dextromethorphan*although I have never had a reaction to any of these, many people do. Ask your doctor what s/he thinks.
