I asked my doctor this same question. She says it's not advisable, but if your allergies are very bad, you can take Zyrtec in the morning, and then Benadryl before bed. Zyrtec makes some people drowsy (although not me) and Benadryl makes most people drowsy, so mixing them can put you to sleep. Zyrtec dries out your system, as well, so drink extra water. Don't do this too often. Too much antihistamine can be bad for you, but doing this occasionally is okay.

It is very risky to give Valium to a patient, who suffered concussion type head injury. You have to keep watch for at-least 24 hours on such patient. You have to cheque periodically, whether the patient is conscious or not. (Say for every two hours.) For that you gently slap the patient on the cheek, when he is sleeping. If he responds to your stimulus, he is alright. If he becomes unconscious, there may be intra-cranial hemorrhage. In such case you may have to go for surgical intervention. If you give Valium to such patient, you may miss this very important sign.
