I would take the benydril, considering the ER doc said it was ok (and I presume he knew you are on geodon?) Why would CVS refuse to sell it to you? It is over the counter. They shouldn't have to know anything about you?

I used to go to CVS as my pharmacy and the pharmacy guys all know I take geodon......that's why they won't sell it to me......

Well then I'd have your husband buy it. Or buy it from the front counter (and not the pharmacy). Honestly, that is very weird- have never heard of such a thing. Why is CVS refusing to sell it to you? What is their reason?

they dont have to know its for you. or have someone else but it for you. or go to another drug store..

the pharmacist there that knows me from the last time I tried to buy some for a sinus cold said that some antihistamines interact with geodon and he wanted me to be safe so he wouldn't sell it to me.....I had to buy generic tylenol cold and sinus.....CVS brand.....

Maybe this will be helpful

You are going to believe a pharmasist? Good luck, hope the reaction isn't too bad.

According to drugs.com benadryl interacts with both of the meds that I take.....respiratory depression......

So I shouldn't take them or I might not wake up in the morning.....

Princess

when u say bradford pharm says it shouldn't interact.
are you saying they said, you should not mix the two
or there should be no problem mixing the two?
its not clear to me.
if bradford also said don't mix it. then i would not mix it.

bradford pharm gave the okay.....

CVS said no it's not okay....and now that I think about it.....

I believe the CVS guy after what I read off of drugs.com....

I will not be taking it.

I will be waiting for my pdoc to call me in the morning.....

The ER visit sucked because I am left with nothing to take

and I desperately need sleep tonight........

oh. see there you go.
the three c's of the er doctor.
cocky careless confidence.

Princess, I undertand that these things like anxiety and lack of sleep bother you and you become anxious to find out NOW what to do......going to the ER can be more detrimental than helpful if you continue to use if for every little thing. Eventually, they will become crass toward you and you will get this kind of "brush off" care and pay lots of money for it. I am not saying it is right, it just is.

You have it in your power to see these things happening before you get to a weekend. YOu have known and posted about your sleep problems and anxiety while you still had time to call your pdoc. Honestly, if I were an ER doc, I would see you as a DRUG PREDATOR.........comeing in constantly to see what drugs you can get that your pdoc wont prescribe.

I am just cautioning you to be careful as this will all back fire on you one day and docs and the ER will not take you seriously.

Sleep is crucial but one more day would not make or break you at this point if you are resting and doing the other tings I recommended the other night. Hugs

try some warm milk

Why did they tell you to take cold medicine?

Maybe so she could "sip on some sizzyurp" and chill out
