Unisom is typically more sleep inducing than Benadryl but it may have a drowsiness hangover too.
Yes, and my pharmacist told me that decongestants and my anti-seizure meds are often a bad combination, too. Since my accident, I never take any over the counter meds without talking first to the pharmacist. It's all too complicated for this addled layperson.
