Antihistamines

Yah, you know the class of medication that blocks the release of histamines so you do not get symptoms such as runny nose and itchiness etc. Problem with the first generation antihistamines is they cause drowsiness, that is why you will be cautioned against driving and operating machinery. For aunties I always add in that they should not be cooking after they take antihistamines. No, I am not worried they'll mistake sugar for salt or vice versa. I am more worried they go take a nap, leave the soup to boil and then... you get the idea.

I took one that is combined with a decongestant last night as I was again experiencing post-nasal drip. Really should not have done that given the history that I usually have carry-over effects. Woke up this morning feeling groggy although it's been more than 8 hours after I took the antihistamine. Sighz... and I still have to work.
