I can't find anything online to definitively answer this question, but this was my experienc last night: I took a Zicam before bed, then about twenty minutes later took two Benadry. I woke up hot and cold and twitchy. Then I threw up a ton and felt a lot better. Not sure how much of this was the combo of the medicine or some mystery ailment, but my stomach hasn't bothered me since last night, so I'm inclined to think it has something to do with the medicine I took.

Can used Fexofenadine together with Benadryl?

Yes. You can take them at the same time. They are both antihistamines, but Allegra is a long-acting antihistamine and Benadryl is a short-acting antihistamine. Fexofenadine is Allegra. I have been given both at the same time to treat a severe sinus infection. You may get very drowsy or run down. But you will be ok. Because of this, it is recommended that Allegra be taken in the morning on a regular schedule and Benadryl be taken at night when needed to help with sleep issues due to allergies.

While Benadryl or diphenhydramine can be used safely for dogs, if proper dosage is carefully applied, diphenhydramine is not an anticonvulsant, and as such will likely not work for this application. In short, not deadly; not effective either.

Yes. Sedatives and tranquilizers should not be used with Benadryl. But I could locate no warnings about tylenol. Myself, I don't like taking stuff together unless I have no choice. So maybe take these two meds an hour or so apart, and not at the same time.
