When i take cetirizine for my hayfever i have noticed that it makes me feel good - stimulating but good if i take it in the morning, i also feel worse when i come off it.
So has anyone heard of this before, have any proposed mechanisms...as id like to carry on taking it!
thanks

It's plausible. Other anthistamines have antidepressant properties.

Hmm. I know that chlorpheniramine definately has AD effects. It is an SNRI.
