Daily antihistmines

[somemonkey]

Are daily antihistmines safe? What do you take? My dr said to take any antihistmine..... I wanted more safety..... What do you think?

How much are you taking? I got 10mg pills. Seems to work. I took at night. So tired in the day. Is that normal? I take lots of meds though.

I am taking zyrtec starting tomorrow. I would try it and see what it does for you. I am hoping it works for me, I pray it works!! Try it out!! It is safe, yes, but it 'can' make you a little drowsy, but nothing major. It's safe to take, and will not 'up' your blood pressure. Let me know if it helps you and ill do the same. If not, I don't know what i will do...

Thanks!!!!! Should I try zyrtec then? My doctor said any. Are you switching to zyrtec? Is anyone else taking it? Something else? Is it safe?

I just started taking Claritin (Loratadine) but it hasn't helped at all! The nurse at my school said to take Zyrtec everyday and that it really doesn't make you as drowsy as they say. I just don't know what time to take it, or what time is best...I should know this because I'm a nursing student, but, I am no physician ;)
