Is Zyrtec doing this to me?!


Question: Is Zyrtec doing this to me!?
here's the problem: I have HORRIBLE spring alleriges!. enter zyrtec!. the box says it makes one tired!. that's an understatement!. i take a nap after breakfast (8 a!.m!.) wake up at 10 a!.m!. and nod off all day long!. I doze at stoplights and tell my kids "wake mommy up when the light turns green!."
this afternoon I tried to groom the dog and fell asleep in her bed!.
But here's the kicker--by 10 p!.m!. i am WIDE awake!. its 11:30 now and i cant fall asleep!. i can't live like this!.

would things be different if i took the Zyrtec at evening or what!?

thanks for any experiences you might share!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Try taking it at night and see if it makes a difference!. I would also go check with the chemist about its effects because im pretty sure it would come with a heavy warning if it had that effect on most people!.
However different people are effected very differently by different medicines!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try Claritan! My doctor prescribed it to me before it became an over the counter and works great for me! Never tired, and allergy free for the most part, although to warn you I get the occasional bloody nose on it but its worth it! Before Claritan I was taking Benadryll which knocked me out cold!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Could be that and the allergies!. I'd suggest taking it at night as it does last for 24 hours!. If that doesn't work, you may want to use something less strong!.!.!. like Benadryl!. It has different side effects for different people!. Doesn't make me tired at all, but for people that have drug intolerance, it can make you really tired!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is vary possible,Zyrtec didn't work for my allergies,so I take double dose of claritin every day,but I cant take the clarinex,for that makes me so tired,I cant keep awake!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yea take it in teh evening so that the medicine can help you when your asleep!. ANd that way you won't hurt yourself or the kidos during teh day!. I take mine at night tooWww@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you are narcoleptic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take it at night before bedtime!. Our allergy doctors has my son to take it at night!. I take it during the day because it doesn't bother me like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
