Hi Jean
Did a google search and found some links you might find helpful, best advice I saw was simply ask a pharmacist, so pop into your local chemist and ask or ring them up.

Hi Jean

I suffer from hayfever and have alergies but so far not taken anything this spring as have not suffered that badly. I actualy don't know if these two are safe together so will be interesting to see if somebody on here knows incase i need to take some myself.

Hope you ok

Hi Jean

Thanks for the info. I think because antihistamines can make you feel also bit drowsy same as the antidepressants the joint effect perhaps making you feel light and dizzy. I might have to take some soon as had runny nose and sneezed a lot past few days.
