Welcome to H.C.M.

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Yes you can take Benadryl with medicines that already taking and there are not any significant interaction or side effects among these.

Therefore I would suggest my patients to avoid driving while on Lexapro , Gabapentin and Benadryl.
