I know this isn't a recreational drug use thread and also not talking about 'tripping' on Diphenhydramine as people say the results are pretty scary; I simply want to know what I should ask my G.P for.
I use an OTC medicine called, Pirition (chlorpheniramine maleate) along with a decongestant containing the compound, (xylometazoline hcl) to have a better nights sleep. I suffer from allergies to dustmites and of course try prevention first before the cure by washing my mattress sheets and vacumming the carpet however I find that using an antihistamine during the day while taking all three along with a beer before sleeping helps me fall right asleep and wake up without a stuffy nose.
Now, I was wondering if there are any antihistamines that could work in the long term as opposed to short term. I assume they'd be stronger. I don't know whether this is B.S. or not but I read that unlike psychotropic drugs, antihistamines don't have varying strength so almost all antihistamines-only products are OTC. Is this true?
