Does anyone take cetirizine as well as montelukast? Could it be adding it my tiredness?

[scorpiolass]

Hi, yes I do. Montelukast all the time prescribed for asthma. I use ceterizine during the pollen season; usually start about April & finish after leaf fall. X

I take both every day all seasons , and yes ii am tired I tried stopping cettirizine and I wasn't tired but sneezed all the time so had to start taking again

Thank you ladies. Wondered if that had something to do with it. Also had steroids which add to the problem. Montelukast is new to me so I'll see how I get on.

I take both of those all the time but put the tiredness down to rheumatic disease. I'm also on steroids so they do counteract the tiredness somewhat. I sometimes wonder what effect the combination of different drugs has, and how much research on that has been done on that - I'm on 17 different drugs.

We all seem to be rattling! Steroids exhaust me, I never seem to get a lift from them. We are all so,different with this one common factor COPD! Thanks everyone it's good to hear how you all cope. Feel not so isolated.

Hi.......I was given Citirizine twice a day for an unexpected skin problem. When that was sorted and the Citirizine stopped I went back to my normal sleeping of just 3 or 4 hours a night.

So now I take Citirizine at night plus one paracetamol for achey knees

and most nights I sleep well.
