What are some good antihistamines that won't cause excessive sedation?!


Question: What are some good antihistamines that won't cause excessive sedation.?
My husband is on lots of seizure medication. He has a bad cold at this time and wants something to unclog his passages. I was thinking something along the lines of DayQuil, but I'm not sure. I had wanted to give him one of my Vistaril 25 mg pills because it is an antihistamine (I take it as an anti-anxiety agent and one pill works for 48 hours for me -- I am on a little bit of antiseizure medicine myself), but I'm afraid to give him a Vistaril as I think it will sedate him excessively as he is on lots more seizure medicine than I am.Health Question & Answer

Don't give him Vistaril. Better give him cetirizine (ask for brand names in a pharmacy, it is over the counter) It is not sedative and doesn't ente the brainHealth Question & Answer
