Piriton has really knocked me for 6! 12 hours since taking it…

How long can this last? Took a piriton at 2am and I’m absolutely exhausted been lay around all day getting up to a simple task is hard. Never reacted this much before! Usually wears off after a few hours. This exhaustion is another level!

I don't know how long it will take but it knocks me out too. I take Cetirizine or Loratadine as they don't make me drowsy.

@ApolloandDaphne thank you I will look in to getting these instead. I’ve never reacted for this long before it’s only usually a few hours.

I'm really sensitive to Piriton too. I usually take the child's dose or even half the child's dose.
