It depends on whether or not they also have serotonergic or adrenergic properties or not. I remember reading some time ago that diphenhydramine (which is the active in benadryl and unisom) has some serotonin reuptake inhibiting activity (how much I don't know), which if true would necessitate significant caution in using with an MAOI. Other antihistamines I'm not sure it just depends.

> Is antihistamines, like benadryl, unisom, and atarax (vistiral) or phenegran ok to mix with MAOIS. I am having a hard time sleeping probably because of this Nardil, and I want something to knock me out, tomorow is election day and I don't want to miss it due to insomia..
