Suggest Treatment For Urticaria

I take Quetiapine at night for sleep. Right now I am experiencing Urticaria from a food allergy. I have to take the Benadryl all day long. Is it safe to take the Quetiapine at night after taking Benadryl during the day? Benadryl does not make me sleepy at all, the contrary, so it doesn t replace the Quetiapine.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, you can take the benadryl to help with your allergic reaction or you can use a non drowsy antihistamine such as loratidine, cetirzine or fexofenadine.

If you do feel very drowsy from the use of the anti histamine then you may want to consider with holding the dose of the sleep aid.

I hope this helps
