ive found anything with loratadine (sp) doesnt make me that tired. alegra, claratin, and the like. anti-histimines dont work great for me overall though so i just gave up.

Yeah...I'm really susceptible to meds that make people drowsy and I've also found that Claratin is really good for not putting me to sleep.

Singulair is the best I have found, but it is perscription only, and a lot of insurance companies will only cover it if you have asthma or breathing trouble, since that is what it was first made for.

Allegra works great for me and its now in generic form (only $10 for 30 day supply with my insurance copay)!

Plus, the first year you take it and you smoke up or drink when it starts to kick in...it gives u a nice cross buzz.

id start with the ones that say nondrowsy on the box, or something to that effected

Claritin isn't supposed to make most people drowsy, but when I took it in high school it made me tired all day long.

I would suggest Claritin-D 12 hour

the 24 hour kind seemed to actually keep me awake for longer than I needed to be

also I have a prescription for Zyrtec, which I also think works pretty well


finally Flonase, stuff you can squirt up your nose, works exceptionally well

I just always forget to use it, even though I'm supposed to

Claritin and Allegra.

Zyrtec makes me sleep.

2/1/2006 11:00:08 AM

after you take zyrtec for like 3 days, the sleepiness factor goes away

also I was prescribed 2 a day, but I only take one

or only took one, since I'm out

Loratidine works for 24 hours and is non-drowsy. If you want fast acting there is nothing available that won't make you feel out of it. I've tried EVERYTHING!

Claritin has always worked for me.

I used to have horrible allergies, and had shots for 7 years... either the shots worked, or I "grew" out of my allergies - but when I'm around fluffy bunnies and cats (snd dust and mold...) and such I still need meds - I take Claritin and i'm fine, it's never made me drowsy.

I'm super sensitive to allergy medicines, so even Claritin made me sleepy. I can take half a Benadryl and be out for 12 hours...no kidding. I always take Alavert when my allergies act up. It lasts for 24 hours and never makes me sleepy.
