Are there any indications that mixing these two would cause any negative side effects?

Call Walgreens and ask a pharmacist, its free and accurate advice.

I'd tend to think that the drowsiness effect might cancel out the Ritalin, even if only a little bit. Of course I get hyper from Benadryl myself :o so that's always a possibility too. Which happens to you with Benadryl?

I take Benadryl with Ritalin IR when my Wellbutrin gives me hives. I am fine. :)

This does not occur daily.....but when it does, all is well.

Smart to check ahead of time!;)

I've never heard of any interaction bewteen those two drugs, nor I was able to find anything online concerning an interaction between the two.

Please let us know how it turns out. ;)

Benadryl is the drug sometimes used in some OTC (over the counter) sleep meds. (e.g. Unisom or Sleep Eeze?)

It is similar to Dramamine (both are antihistamines; Dramamine is moreso an antinauseant, in effect though).

I find Dramamine and stimulant = normal.

PS Still wouldn't drive on them though.
