Brief Answer:
Risk of excessive sedation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.

The only problem which could arise after taking benadryl would be increased sedation. There is no other interaction.

You have already taken too much of sedative drugs (klonopin, ativan).

Donot indulge in driving, swimming or any kind of machinery work after taking drugs. Take complete rest.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
