To combine anti-histamines???

[LEMisdisappointed]

My hay-fever is a nightmare this year :( I have been taking Zirtec but not really having much effect on it. Zirtec is Citrizine hydrochloride. I found a couple of boots own in the cupboard so took those INSTEAD, and they are slightly better but again by the evening my nose is streaming, my mouth is itchy, eyes streaming and sore and just hellish.

I know my friend and her family combine (i dont know what ones) and remember being about it.

I suppose it would depend if the combined drugs are the same like asprin and ibruprofen, or ibruprofen and paracetemol.

I am also taking ADs but there are no contr-indications listed.

I can't take beconnase snorty hayfever remedies because they give me palpitations.

Today has been just blooody awful - its pissing me off, i totally relate to the treacle feeling, although i am on ADs as well into the mix Its going off a bit now but i just feel like i don't want to go outside at the moment - after looking forward to the nice weather for so long :(

I can't remember it being this bad - it went off when i had DD 7 years ago and has slowly crept back, this has been the worst i can remember for ages

You-it's fine for 8 as long as it's within the daily dosage. Although ds hasn't doubled up for hayfever before he's been prescribed piriton for nut allergy and that's ok if he's taken hay fever meds.

It was in boots btw!

Went to doctors she gave me steroid spray and said not to worry about the palpitations as hayfever is worse eye drops and more pills said to double up dose if desperate

I'm like a space cadet today,I took a pill instead of my usual syrup and just checked and it's double my normal dose! Hope ds is ok at school!! Will take half a tablet tomorrow. No hayfever but feel zonked

Haven't read replies yet but am about to...I nearly hung myself this weekend with hayfever...especially Saturday...I think I,m now immune to loratadine I,ve taken so much...need to step it up a gear..

Claret..thats how Cetirizene made me feel, I literally couldn't get out of bed and it wasn't until I stopped takign them for a blood test that I realised. I was taking two a day morning and night.
