Take medicine and live with the side effects or don’t take it and live with symptoms….
July 8, 2009 Medication, symptoms 1 CommentI think I mentioned that since that last round of attacks I had been perhaps a bit too eager to take my allergy medicines to try to fend off the next round of attacks. Well, after the really big slip up on a Thursday of Zyrtec the night before – 2 benedryl and then alprazolam (xanax)…. I had decided to not take zyrtec at all since 1) it was 24 hours and I had a tendency to forget the next day that I had taken it. 2) It really hasn’t been as effective as the benedryl. So…. I had been taking two benedryl at night (the full dosage and one in the mornings, one in the late afternoon to fend off the beginnings of stuffy ear. To put it simply the last few weeks I’ve felt fairly lousy. I seem to have no energy, no get up and go (all got up and went…) Well, Sunday evening it was almost a week since my last shot so I thought it might be time to lay off the benedryl and I didn’t take it before bed.
