I couldn't find any immediate research that they are contraindicated....I know that tamoxifen and benedryl are, though. Anyone have any knowledge of this? I take an occasional Motrin PM, and it has a benedryl-type drug in it for relaxation/drowsiness.

    I'm on aromasin, and I get benadryl prior to my Herceptin infusions every three weeks. If there was a problem, I don't think benadryl would be part of my regimen.

    Good to know, ElaineTherese, thank you. Aromasin will be part of my daily regime for 7 more years at least, if I'm lucky (and am still here...) and it causes hot flashes that wake up up at night. Hard sometimes to get back to sleep so I do like to take the occasional Motrin PM (1/2 dose) to help me get drowsy again. I have Xanax on hand but use it sparingly and prefer the OTC option when necessary. I hope others will weigh in.
