It did help with I combined it with diphenhydramine, but I have no idea if that's even a safe thing to do. I looked it up but didn't find any answers. I was frankly desperate when I did it and finally just took it and prayed! That is TOTALLY unlike me -- I'm usually ultra-cautious with medications, both prescription & OTC. Shows what one will do when desperate, huh? It might be worth asking a healthcare professional about it -- it did work for me and I've done it many times now with no ill effects, but it's risky behavior nonetheless!
