Does anyone else on citalapram (or similar) suffer from hayfever?

I've been suffering from horrific hayfever, I've never had it so bad before. Without thinking I brought some hayfever pills which were the ones that can make you drowsy. Well, I felt so rough and sick it made me feel worse. I have since been taking some non drowsy ones at the recommendation of the gp and pharmacist but I have been feeling really sick and my headaches are unbearable so I have stopped takin these too. Does any one else suffer with similar problems? Are there any good herbal remedies?

No sorry cant be any help. Have you checked the pollen count. Look up some remedies for hayfever, ie, washing clothes more often, and hoovering inside etc . I am not sure if you just got it lately. See if its listed as a side effect of your Meds.

Take care

Have terrible pains n head daily and in the night but not hay fever just put it down to stress and anxiety as usual. Take care Erstchay

It's worth having a word with the pharmacist. Everyone is different in their response to things. A few suggestions:

- a salt spray - e.g. Sterimar (preferably isotonic, not the hypertonic one)

- putting vaseline around your nostrils - may trap some of the pollen

- a herbal spray - I believe there is one called Prevalin out now which is supposed to be good

Good luck

You can also get a nasal spray called beconase. It works for me.

The nose spray sounds like a good idea, I will definitely try that x
