For Allergic Rhinitis "This is the only allergy medicine I use after trying multiple ones. It works best for me without any side effects except very slight drowsiness. I also have an anxiety disorder, but this medicine doesn’t affect it at all, if anything, it helps. I take it as needed and sometimes daily if my allergies are bad or if my asthma kicks in. I’ve used it on and off for the last 7 years. My allergist recommended it and said it works the best for me after allergy skin tests."
