I almost always react differently to medications than most people. Benadryl
which knocks the rest of my family out cold, glues my eyes wide open and
makes me jittery. Sudafed has been fabulous in every way - no drying at all.
The Claritin which is supposed to be one of the least-drying of the
antihistamines, made me so dry I could barely swallow, but I might not have
given it enough time for my body to adjust.

unless needed)."

Thanks Karl, I guess I remembered it backwards because my experience was the
opposite! I'll definitely check the archives, now that I know they're back
up.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions,

Laura
