Cetirizine is the best antihistamine I've used (lemmy.world)

I don't really know where else to post this, so here it is. I consistently have allergies/itchiness and this works extremely well. I'll never use diphenhydramine again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetirizine

Has anyone else used this and experienced the benefits? It's like a clean benadryl without the drowsiness or worry about anticholinergic.

It works fine for me - it has a bonus side effect - I don't get itchy insect bites; I don't even notice I have been bitten unless I look.

Loratadine doesn't work much and traditional antihistamine is a no no because of sleepy.

The latest all singing anti-histamine that is expensive and just been removed from "prescription only" status here in the UK doesn't work as well for me as cetirizine.
