some allergy meds, like Loratadine here, keep people up. so when going to siesta/sleep, some take antihistamine to sleep. the dosage varies on patients, so some take stronger doses depending on the amount of allergy medicine they take, and type of sleep they need.
I used to go to sleep the moment my head hit the pillow (no drugs needed). But, I had a difficult time motivating myself to do anything during the day. Now, I need help to sleep and I’m super motivated. 🤷♂️
~Honestly, I’ll gladly suffer the insomnia for the motivation.~
I’ve been perimenopausal for several years now and the worst symptom I’ve experienced is the sleep disruption. Last week I basically stopped sleeping, so I’m on hormones now. There’s a slight relief, but at least I’m getting 6 very interrupted hours which is better than last week!
A good rule of thumb is that any drug that says “don’t drink alcohol with this” is going to absolutely wreck your liver if you take it too much. Consider supplementing with melatonin at bedtime, but talk to your doctor about it instead of a stranger on the internet lol.
Also, to be upfront with you, the withdrawal process from the regimen you described is going to suck. If you don’t have other support for your situation I guess I will try to help if you DM and I will try to shittily talk you through it.

I’m confused. Claritins active substance is loratadine, which is an antihistamine.
Youre saying it keeps people up but they take it to sleep?
I rely on three Benadryl tablets a night to get to sleep.
I guess you might already know this but that’s probably not good for your long term health
Better living through chemistry!

Is there something similar for men? I feel like things have been up and down for the psst ten years (I’m turning 50 next summer).
Holy shit, your poor liver. That is not OK. You WILL regret doing that.
I knew that Tylenol will wreck the liver, but not my boy Benadryl?
~I feel betrayed. 😥~

But a stranger on the internet suggested going to my doctor, then said not to trust them! 🤔
~/s of course!~
