I’ll share my experience with Benadryl. Claritin (including the -D with pseudoephedrine) crapped out on me, so I turned to generic Benadryl. It really relieved my cold symptoms and sinus pressure and has made me less vulnerable to allergic reactions. It has several negative effects, listed prior. Other positive effects are: decreased feelings of nervousness, less acid reflux/heartburn, improved mood when not tired, and less insomnia. I’m debating whether or not to make this my antihistamine during allergy season. Side effects: Drowsiness, absent-mindedness, mental fogginess, dry nose and mouth, decreased appetite, hypnogogic hallucinations. I purchase Benadryl through reputable http://www.lipmanpharmacy.com/ they’ve been very reliable so far. Check this FDA link about Benadryl http://google2.fda.gov/search?client=FDAgov&site=FDAgov-Recalls-Safety|FDAgov-Consumers|FDAgov-WarningLetters-ICECI|FDAgov-ImportAlerts-Industry|FDAgov-MedWatch-Safety|FDAgov-Section-Drugs&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=FDAgov&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_q=benadryl&num=20&btnG=Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&restrictBox=FDAgov-Recalls-Safety&restrictBox=FDAgov-Consumers&restrictBox=Medwatch&restrictBox=FDAgov-WarningLetters-ICECI&restrictBox=FDAgov-ImportAlerts-Industry&restrictBox=FDAgov-Section-Drugs&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&sort=date
