I think Allergy medication makes me tired? Its non drowsy! Please HELP!?

Question

a couple weeks ago I went to the E.R because I felt like c**p, my ibs was acting up, I was tired, a had sinus pain throat pain and ear pain.

He said i had allergies. He told me to take allergy medication, so I bought some and have ben taking it since, but it says non drowsy and yet I'm always tired.

could this be because of the medication? or is it just my allergies?

or is it ibs related?

I don't have a fever or anything, im just very tired.

Answer 1

I've found all allergy medicines, even the ones that claim they won't make you tired, actually will make you tired anyway.  If you have a family doctor go to him then ask if he prescribe you something that is less tiresome than the others.  They make one prescription called AlleRx Dose Pack that has AM (non sedating action) dose and PM (non stimulating action-lets you rest) dose.  I've taken it before it works fairly good.  

Answer 2

It could be both, but I go back to your original visit to the ER. You stated you were tired then, before being on allergy medication, I suppose there is a different underlying cause.  

Answer 3

try changing medication, but specialy stronger allergy med tend to be drowsy by side effect, this can be battled by increasing your bodys stamina through making sure to get up in the morning and training during the day

the better shape your in the better you can figth off such a bi effect
