I can take Benadryl, but I have a story about it, please don't judge.🙂 Awhile ago I was using Benadryl to help me go to sleep, I took too much and I my tongue swelled up, my cheeks tingled, itchy throat. I had to go to the er to be placed on pregnazone, if it wasn't for the er visit I would not be here today. So when I started with my rituximab infusion and felt my throat begin to itch, I notified the nurse and they gave me Benadryl. So weird it prevented my allergic reaction to the rituximab from getting bad, when it nearly killed me. Lesson learned.

I wish you good health and peace

They give me Benadryl before my Rituxian treatment and it puts me right to sleep. Still feel the effects until the following day

Hi Katie,
I'm fortunate in that I can take Benadryl before my immunotherapy.
Your Dr will find something safe for you...best wishes, Katie.

That is bizarre….😳🥰♥️- Benadryl was given before my Rituxan - sometimes it made me sleepy- most times, I was crawling out of my skin hyper! 😢
