Mixing 2C-x (2C-B) and Advil PM
Caution
Carries risk that is worth understanding before combining. Reduce doses and do not use alone.
Can you take 2C-x with Advil PM?
Advil PM contains ibuprofen and diphenhydramine. The most concerning part is 2C-x with Advil PM (Diphenhydramine): diphenhydramine tends to turn a trip confusing and unpleasant rather than stronger. Take less of each than usual, and do not use alone. MixSafe rates 2C-x with Advil PM as "Caution" — carries risk that is worth understanding before combining. Reduce doses and do not use alone.

Ingredient by ingredient
2C-x + Advil PM (Diphenhydramine)Caution
Diphenhydramine tends to turn a trip confusing and unpleasant rather than stronger. Take less of each than usual, and do not use alone.
Diphenhydramine's deliriant character muddies psychedelic effects and commonly turns them confusing and unpleasant rather than enhancing them.

2C-x + Advil PM (Ibuprofen)Low risk, no synergy
Neither substance is expected to meaningfully change the other. Both still carry their own individual risks.
No specific interaction is documented. Ibuprofen's standing risks — stomach bleeding and reduced kidney blood flow — apply in any combination, and matter most when dehydrated, not eating, or dosing repeatedly over a long session.
