Just make sure it is straight antihistamine and not mixed with a decongestant or something else. I have used diphenhydramine hydrochloride(Benadryl) for years for insomnia. No problem. I never take any over the counter cold remedies. They are pretty much worthless anyway.Diphenhydramine inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, and if you take enough of it or are particularly sensitive to it, there can be an untoward interaction. I have taken it with no problem, up to 100mg. Your mileage may vary.
It is not the antihistamine activity per se that is of concern. Tread carefully.
