I have a number of allergy issues, most of which are somewhat seasonal.
I take (generic) Benedryl for them, but I only take them at night. They
make me very tired and I sleep an extra hour or two in the morning, and
I feel groggy when I eventually get up. My son does not like to take
antihistamines because of the drowsiness, and the no doze variety have
stimulants to counteract the drowsiness.
