That doesn't interfere with their anxiety meds. I used to take Benadryl, but the last 2 times I took it, it gave me palpitations for some reason.

I am on Zoloft and Xanax, so I need something that won't interact with them, and also doesn't cause drowsiness.

Thanks for any advice....Fox

I take telfast, well the generic type called fexotabs 180mg (active ingredient: fexofenadine hydrochloride). I'm in Australia so it might be called something different in other countries. I've been taking it for years and lately nearly every day. I never had any problems with it mixing with Zoloft but I've never taken xanax so I couldn't say about that. It's non drowsy too. there are lower doses if you don't want to go that high.

Telfast is known as Allegra in the United States.

Thanks Kitt, I didn't know what that was. I think I tried that before and it gave me the same problem as the Benadryl has been giving me. I was thinking of trying Claritin or Zyrtec.

Anyone have any experience with either? I'd just hate to waste the money if it's not going to work, because even though they are OTC, they're not cheap. LOL!
