In reply to Benadryl helping my GAD better than Xanax, posted by garyengelm on December 18, 2007, at 22:41:30
Anyone know if Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is contradicted w/ MAOI's? I would worry since it has some SSRI qualities. Is there a risk of hyperserotonemia?

> How could this be. I found this out by accident. I've been having terrible anxiety lately and 0.5mg of xanax doesn't touch it. I even increased my dose to 1mg at times which is high for me and still nothing but a little sedation. I took some Benadryl for the heck of it as it felt like Akathisia, and boom, all was gone and resolve within 15 min. Whats up with that.
