There are 8 people in our family, and 6 of us suffer from seasonal allergies. We were frequent users of Benedryl, which worked great, but made us very tired, restricting use to evening and bed time. During the day, we would just suffer rather than take the chance of falling asleep at a most inconvenient time.
Then one day I received a sample of Zyrtec. As I was suffering from allergies that day, I decided to try it. I totally forgot that I had allergies until the next day. It was almost exactly 24 hours later when my symptoms returned, reminding me that "Oh, yes, I DO have allergies!"
We do still use Benedryl at night when we don't have allergies too bad and can wait until the night to medicate, but when we have the symptoms bad and need it during the day, we definitly use Zyrtec. In fact, I have recommended it to all my friends and family who suffer from allergies and they have been pleased with the results also.
