I take seroquel 300mg, which is not intended to treat my allergies, but does a fantastic job. in addition to being an atypical antipsychotic, it has some antihistimine actions.
Pdoc told me that the reason why some antihistamines make me sleepy (seroquel knocks me out like * that) is because they cross the blood brain barrier. Benedryl crosses BBB, but claritin doesn't.
I dunno about any of the others. I'm pretty satisfied with seroquel, plus 10mg claritin when necessary, and albuterol inhaler standing by for wheezing.
