I have an uneasy relationship with allergy meds. I only take them when the allergy levels are soaring & I can barely function. Still, today is like that & I won't be taking them.
Allergy meds can have a host of side-effects. Google your specific med to check on those. Reactions vary between medications. For me, they range from annoying to borderline side-lining. If I take allergy meds for more than a day or so, I often experience:
- Over drying of my sinuses, throat & eyes
- Nosebleeds
- Higher levels of edginess & anxiety
- Lethargy, fatigue & the general blahs
- Heightened levels of S.A.D.
- More diarrhea
- Blurry vision
- Heightened heart rate & blood pressure
Unless my allergies are extreme, I avoid taking allergy meds for as long as possible. My reactions aren't uncommon, but could be boosted by my HIV status & my other medications. If you react oddly to allergy medications, you're not alone.
Cya...
