There is an interaction between these drugs. That doesn't mean you cannot take them together, but rather that you need to be careful. You may get side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. If you aren't used to Benedryl, though, you may get those side effects anyway. Many people take Benedryl as a sleeping pill. The combination may cause impairment in thinking and judgement, and it's especially bad if you drink alcohol.
