Of Cetirizine. Yes, that's me now. Though I took it last night before bedtime and it is almost 21 hours past when I took it. I still feel so sleepy and sluggish. So I might go to bed early.we will see.

I take Cetirizine as one of the Prescription anti-allergy meds I take every morning. Loratadine is the second anti-allergy prescription med I take every morning. Aren't they fun? I've taken the two of them for so long they don't make me sleepy anymore but I can sure tell if I skip taking one of them. I get a stuffed up nose and sneeze all day long.

@rakski Yes, they're two different types for different things that cause allergies. (I have allergies to dust, feathers, pollens, pet dander and other people... I can't find an anti-allergy tablet for that last one.

Oh yeah, I feel the same way when I take those kinds of medicines. I think it’s better to just go to sleep so the meds can work more effectively.

That's right. Being sleepy and sluggish is not good on a weekday

If it gives you such unpleasant effects you could find some alternative
