Claritin makes me feel weird, sort of light headed.
Back in the eighties in Seattle I would take a Benadryl every morning, because I was allergic to just about everything (I was poke tested). Eventually I downgraded to chlor-trimaton. So I guess I'm potentially doomed.
Here in Denver I rarely have allergy issues.

It's all poker and you're down on the pot but it just means you need to learn to play a different better hand. At least it's the approach I found to be beneficial.
- a3n 11y agoIt's certainly the only sane approach, I agree. It's like Lyle Lovett said, "You have to try ..." My mention of doom is because I got the impression that the rise in risk (10%) was associated pretty hard with long term use, which I had, and distant past wasn't mentioned as a mitigation.

- maxerickson 11y agoI dislike the way I feel on Claritin (I would call it a bit "fuzzy"). I've been taking Zyrtec lately without noticing any side effects. Maybe try the other 2nd generation drugs next time you feel the need (Allegra is yet another compound)?
