Question: Why does non-drowsy Claritin DM make me sleepy and extremely crabby!?
Answers:
It sounds like you are having an idiosyncratic effect to this medication!. Idiosyncrasy- An individual's unique hypersensitivity to a particular drug,food or other substance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

cuz ur too busy thinking about the side effects and different people react differently to medicinesWww@Answer-Health@Com

I can't take most of those DM formulas - it's supposed to be very benign, but the ingredients in them - that dextromethorphan or what ever it is, makes me so sick - it makes me drowsy and so out of it, I can't drive for more than a day!.
I think it just depends on how your body reacts to different chemicals!.
Take the claritin regular, and ask for Sudafed at the pharmacy counter, then just use it when you are congested!.
Or better yet, try the new over the counter Zyrtec - I love zyrtec, and use the sudafed as needed!Www@Answer-Health@Com
