Antihistimine Eye Drops

[AJESQ]

Yesterday, I asked: Can antihihistamine Eye Drops, enter your system through your eyes?  While the question seems somewhat idiotic, I am highly allergic to antihistamines.  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?

I’m exactly the same way!  Everyone thinks I’m crazy.  Patadas, Alaway, you name it.  My eyes don’t itch but I don’t know if feeling sluggish the 24 hours is worth it.

I found an OTC eyedrop @ Walgreens, labelled ALAWAY. It is  an antihistamine eyedrop, and the one I used that knocked me out after I put several drops in each eye (if one drop works.....). This, after my eye doctor told me that anything over one drop is wasted, anyhow.
At any rate, since using only one small drop of ALAWAY, my itching is relieved, significantly, and I don't seem to have the sluggishness I had with several drops.  Might give it a try.
All the best.

Yes! That's why some illegal drug users place the chemicals in their eyes...it apparently hits the system faster.

I have full empathy for you...I too suffer from many allergies...and I have tried every product out there to relieve the symptoms...and they all knock me out...even at "baby doses"...which do nothing to relieve the symptoms at that low of a level.
Can't use eye drops...or even distilled water in my eyes, as this burns the heck out of them.

Good luck.
