Hi Gabe.

I think it will be OK. Every time I've been in the hospital they give me Benadryl on top of my meds before bed. That's when I was on about four different ones.

I think you need to call your doctor and let him know about your sleeping problem.

By the way I have taken the same one your talking about and your correct it is the same as Benadryl.

Hope you get some sleep . Sweet dreams.

High dosage for adults (300 to 400 mg daily)

So safe maybe. Max dose in one setting is 100 mg but, you are in the "grey area" when it comes to safety. By the way, the fact that the recommend dosage doesn't work should tell you that maybe you are taking it to often.Health Question & Answer

no it is not.

well train your body to sleep naturally...

Exercise makes you not wanna sleep. Why not eat some food.?

No it is not okay, because you are addicted to them.
