Ambien works in me and Benadryl does not. I would think that given that Benadryl is much milder, it is unlikely to work in you, but it is definitely safe, so maybe try it? It would not hurt to try it. Note that antihistamines can stop working, so if it works the first couple of times, it can still stop working later; it is an unreliable medication.
