Technically yes, but it is not recommended. The two drugs basically do the same thing, and, as opposed to mixing say naproxen, Acetaminophen, and ibuprofen, there would be no benefit - just more drowsiness and dry-mouth.

I wouldn't take Benadryl and Sudafed (Pseudoephedrine) together if you're looking for something non-drowsy. Instead, go to the store and buy Claritin-D or Zyrtec-D. They both have psuedoephedrine in it, which acts as a decongestant. If you already have the Sudafed, then you can just buy the generic version of Claritin or Zyrtec. Wal-Mart offers it on their $4 generic list sold over the counter. Loratadine (Claritin) or Cetirizine (Zyrtec).

Depending on the dosing.

I assuming that you are using these drugs recreationally, which is not safe on its own.

If you are allergic, or ever had a bad trip on either of the drugs, dont do it.

Can you mix guaifenesin and dextromethorphan?

If you buy anything with "DM" in the name, it probably already had Dextromethorphan in it. So yes, Guafenesin can be taken with Dextromethorphan but taking too much Dextromethorphan can cause a few undesirable side effects. It's unlikely that you'll be able to buy Dextromethorphan by itself anyway, it will likely come with Acetametaphin and Phenylephrine or Guafenesin.

Can you mix azithromycin and Benadryl?

The short answer is yes. I was prescribed Azithromycin for a sinus infection. I felt that the medication was not working. So I called Walgreens and spoke with the pharmacist who stated that I can take both Benadryl with the Azithromycin 250mg. The best thing to do is to contact your local Pharmacist and tell him/her everything you are taking. Please remember that both drugs have a drowsiness effect. Therefore, I would only recommend taking one Benadryl with the Azithromycin. If you are in doubt, contact your primary care physician and the pharmacist.
