Zyrtec helps my allergies, but makes me sleepy. Is this god's judgement for being gay, or an atheist?

I guess some people don't understand sarcasm, but it appears that many do (yay!)

You could always dope yourself up on energy drinks and whatnot to counteract the sleepy effects, but then you may as well down a bag of sugar mixed with coffee grounds.

Yeah, try something else. There are some odd reports from some people who have taken Zyrtec. Some have claimed that it's caused some odd weight gain and increase in appetite, sleepiness, depression, and even behavioral problems in their children who were on it. That's kind of bizarre.

Try something else; perhaps some kind of Benadryl? Anything; but from the sound of it you need to get off of that stuff.

One of the BEST things to use for allergies is a teaspoon of honey a day from a *local* beekeeper. I'm not kidding. Try it. I actually know people who benefitted so much from it that they were able to stop using drugs like Zyrtec.

"Honeybees will collect pollen from local species and it will be present in small amounts in honey that was gathered by bees that were working areas where these species are growing. When people living in these same areas eat honey that was produced in that environment, the honey will often act as an immune booster. The good effects of this local honey are best when the honey is taken a little bit (a couple of teaspoons-full) a day for several months prior to the pollen season.

When I’m asked how local should the honey be for allergy prevention I always advise to get honey that was raised closest to where you live, the closer the better since it will have more of exactly what you’ll need.

It may seem odd that straight exposure to pollen often triggers allergies but that exposure to pollen in the honey usually has the opposite effect. But this is typically what we see. In honey the allergens are delivered in small, manageable doses and the effect over time is very much like that from undergoing a whole series of allergy immunology injections."

Try taking the zyrtec when going to bed. You will sleep well and it wont make you sleepy during the day dear.

*raises eyebrows*

I don't know what being gay, straight or even into sheep and your religious beliefs has got to do with how your body reacts to Zyrtec...

Anyway, if Zyrtec is screwing with your body try Telfast. Its a lot less weaker. If you're still having probs, just go to a doctor.

If Zyrtec makes you sleepy try Telfast or another brand, there are heaps of them.

I'm ignoring your other smart a** comments.

no... thats only when you take in Benadryl. The Zyrtec judgement is meant for not going to dunkin donuts religiously

zyrtec is strong. I usually don't react to the side effects of medicine, but that stuff put me to sleep

Nope... just His gentle way of saying, "Switch to a different antihistamine."

(Zyrtec works for you but makes you sleep? For me, it did the opposite... it didn't make me sleepy, but it didn't work either.)

Try an inhaled antihistamine like Astelin.

Take the zyrtec and sleep well, take it just before bedtime.

I do.

For one, your NOT an atheist if you feel God is punishing you. It is just aside effect some people have while taking Zyrtec. It is not a punishment.
