Can 3 Tablets Of Benadryl 75mg Be Taken To Lessen Anxiety About Closed MRI?
I will be going for a closed MRI next week. I do not want to take Xanax or valium, which do not help. Can I take 3 Benadryl (75mg). I know this will work, but I usually take 2 (50) if I need it and it calms me and I do get drowsy from the Benadryl. So, I thought 75 would lessen my anxiety about the closed MRI.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
You can take three tablet of benadryl. That would help to get sound sleep and feel you relax while MRI scan. Number of patients have claustrophobia and they feel anxiety during MRI scan. You can also try some benzodiazepine like clonzepam to decrease the anxiety. That would keep you relax and calm. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
