Anyone ever do this? Need to get a good sleep tonight but the internet says it may be dangerous. If it’s not bad, what would be a good dosage for each drug when combined.

    Standard doses of each should be fine unless you have a known liver issue, or have decided to drink a litre of grapefruit juice today.

    The concern is normally due to enzyme inhibition increasing concentrations of either, but in a healthy person the chances of an interaction are minimal.

    As a seperate point benadryl is not the healthiest thing to help you sleep, personally I’m a fan of magnesium glycinate 300mg and L-Tryptophan 600mg; clean sleep that still works just as well after taking it for 6 years as it did the first month.

    Benedryl as an occasional sleep aid isn’t great, but regular use is correlated with an increased risk of dementia.

    Take a half dose of each if you’re still concerned.

      I took 2 nytols which is 100 mg total. Then I took half a syringe of thc oil which is a low dose for me. Playing it safe. Also took 12 mg of melatonin

    I’ve never deliberately mixed them to try to sleep, but I have smoked after taking Benadryl for allergies. I didn’t notice anything other than the expected effects.

    Benadryl can have an effect where it makes it impossible to sleep (and you’ll get to meet the “hat man”) This is very much a 0/10 experience.

    I’d just stick to the weed.

      Not looking to get fucked up on it. I’ve taken it in the past and it did help me sleep. Just want to take enough to sleep but not to trip out or anything.
