Lately, I’m sneezing and then runny nose. I took Cetirizine tablet as immediate relief but a few moments later, I felt drowsiness not the usual effects taking it in the past. It’s just early evening where I am and I’m not having my dinner yet which is usually taken at 8. Yawn!

All those medications are supposed to make people drowsy.

@ZedSmart The little that comes with this kind of medications always warns about this side effect.

That maybe the cause although I haven't experience it most of the time.

I was also sneezing this morning with runny nose. I did not take cetirizine because I am sure I will feel sleepy

Do you usually feel sleepy if you take them?

Getting sleep or rest will, most of the times make us feeling better. Thanks Allen.

They're supposed to make you drowsy. So you can rest.

It is said that antihistamines are non-drowsy but maybe in some instance.

Those medications sometimes do that, but we can also buy some that are "non drownsy"

Perhaps not all brands are non-drowsy that's why.

I take Sudafed in the mornings and Benadryl in the evenings. Both help my snotty sinuses. The latter put me to sleep.

It should be taken before going to sleep and just any time especially if we still doing our tasks.
