K-oops, wrote the wrong drug

Hi ,

When my hives were at their worst, I took Allegra/zantac during the day and the regular z/z combo at night. I could not shake the sedating effects of zyrtec in order to do my job effectively, so this was the compromise. It seemed to work ok for me. Now, I just take 10 mg of Claritin per day and I am under pretty good control with just a few isolated hives here and there.

Welcome to the group!!

I have not taken the Zyrtec for more than 2 days, it

made me so sleepy!! The claritan/zantac was not very

effective for me, but the allegra/zantac combo works

pretty well, along with the doxepin at bedtime.
