Call your Doctor and ask him/her if you can take claritin non drowsy... I've read a few articles that say you can. I take benadryl, even though it makes me super sleepy... Good luck!
I am not an expert but my understanding is that one is not stronger than the other. However, Piriton is more likely to make you feel drowsy. Fexofenadine does not do this. You only need to take one Fexofenadine for the whole day, which is useful. Clarityn is another non-sedating antihistamine that you only need to take once a day.
Not sure if I shared with u when I went to the ER this summer I was told to take an antihistamine along with pain meds, and found that I sleep better in taking them...non drowsy for the day and the reg drowsy formula b4 bed....
Or could this be a food allergy? I take a wonderful antihistamine called xyzal. It works really well but when it wears off I'm in trouble. I'm getting an allergy test soon but have to be off the antihistamine for 5 days and I'm scared about that. I get so uncomfortable. Has anyone out there ever experienced this similiar problem?
It made me drowsy so I ended up only taking half a dose. For me, the half dose controlled symptoms just fine! Otherwise, no complaints with it.
Hello. Thank you for your question.
I usually recommend that patients either take one or the other, not both at same time. Benadryl is sedating (makes your drowsy), so I usually counsel patients that they can take that at night. Conversely, most patients prefer a nonsedating antihistamine like Zyrtec during the daytime.

The drowsy/alert effect varies from person to person but it won't affect the antihistamines itself.
The antihistamine I take is non drowsy and at the first sign of hives I will take 60mg (lowest dose) in the morning and at night until gone and this has worked well for me.
I suggest you start taking an antihistamine and get yr labs done.
They knock me out for extended periods of time, by making me lethargic, and extremely drowsy and sluggish. I used an antihistamine eye drop yesterday, and, shortly, had all the above symptoms. My question is simply, can one's system absorb antihistamines through the use of antihistamine eye drops?
Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (commonly sold as benedryl) is an antihistamine which makes patients drowsy, so is taken in higher doses at bedtime to make patients sleep. It is sold in 25 mg pills and as extra strength, 50 mg pills. I found a list of drug recommendations on the Janis & Friends site last year and it said that patients were allowed up to 200 mg per night while on IFN/ribivirin therapy and it's what I used for sleep throughout TX.
m in Canada, and here it is not an OTC, one can buy it just of the shelf, Reactine comes regular and non-drowsy which is what I buy, I take the extra strenght one, the main ingredient in it is Cetirizine Hydrochloride 10mg/tablet, not many antihistamines work for me as they make me feel quite sick and even more dizzy but this one has worked for quite a while now so I haven't had to change it, another one I've tried that worked but didn't buy it regularly as it is more expensive is Ae
My doctor prescribed me diclegis which is the B6 and an antihistamine. Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't make me the slightest bit drowsy. I'm supposed to take it at bedtime because it can make you drowsy. Works to keep away the n/v though. Might check with your doctor to see if that's a possible solution for you? Good luck!
Ive been on every antihistamine, OTC & Rx. Ive tried every sunblock. Ive even been on XOLAIR for 6 months, but stopped because i wasnt getting much relief from it. so im going back to antihistamines, but no matter which one i use, it knocks me out! l cant function. my doctor told me to take montelukast sodium with zyrtec. if i take these at night, will they still be as effective the next day? will i still be drowsy all day?

not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
Clariton is an antihistamine that has something in it to keep you from getting drowsy (antihistamines normally make you sleepy and can be used for insomnia). I suspect it is the additive in the Clariton that gave you the headache. Some people react badly to it. If you want to try a standard antihistamine get Benadryl. If your symptoms go away then you know it is an allergy and not an infection. If it doesn't work, go to a doctor.
When my son turned 1 I was done breastfeeding so my doctor said antihistamine in medicine dries ur milk up. Get the nin drowsy kind. Took about a week.
Do u have Hashimoto's as well? Have u tried an antihistamine?
