I swear by Children's liquid Benadryl, hits your system faster. None of the 2nd/3rd/4th generation antihistamines work as well for me. Yes, the side effects are stronger, but it actually works for me and does so very quickly. I do think it differs by person. Claritin and Zyrtec do very little to help me, Allegra was better, but you still have some side effects for what I find is far less efficacy.
I took the Big B twice this week. The first time, I got tired quickly and fell asleep. The second night it did have nearly the same soporific effect, but still helped with the allergies. I will say that Benadryl tends to dry you out........fast. Sometimes that means less drip, but being stuffy.
