Ironically, whilst having terrible hayfever... Not taking Antihistamines at all seems to have had the most profound effect on me between the gen 1 and 2 meds. If I didn't know any better, I would almost figure I was having some sort of rebound effect from taking them in the first place. Which is odd, because I have been diagnosed with having Allergic Sinusitis, which triggers an inflammatory asthma if not careful.

I used 1st gen stuff like Chlorpheniramine and Diphenhydramine to start. Tried some second gen stuff not too long ago, and it worked pretty well too; but not as well just not taking any? It's weird. Meanwhile if I have an actual allergy attack, I keep Benadryl around for just in case. Because again, not taking any of these seems to just leave me without any allergies now? Or as bad at least. But Benadryl seems to still have some effect, where as I need a couple days of taking the 2nd gen stuff to actually get any effect; if any at all.

All in all, I'm confused now as to which I should even take considering everything in how my reactions have been to it all. So I just don't take any unless things are real bad now. Which they usually aren't.

Maybe I outgrew my allergies? I doubt it, cause I still sneeze around cats and stuff. heh.
