Well, unless you really wnat a bad loong summer, you probably do not wnat to be taking Bebedryl, or anythin with Diphendramine in it. It will bother your RLS 9 out of 10 times. It is pretty universal, but always an exception to everything. :o) also, stay away from the ingredient Pseudoepinephrine.It is like speed, and why it is sold behind the pharmacy counters now in the US. I use the prescription allegra, and that does not make my legs any worse than they are. I only take them when I am absolutely miserable, though, just in case. Sudafed has a formula that is safe with neither of those ingredients. Good Luck!

sorry for typos. I am running on no sleep at the moment. My RLS attacked me last night, and I did everything the same way I always do. You never know.

I take chlorepramine for my hay fever which also has a sedative effect . My rls is worse at the full moon. My star sign is cancer. Anyone else noticed their rls worse at this time. Or maybe I am a werewolf . Any ideas ?

Interesting about antihistamine! I have noticed that when weeding all the nettles in my garden my rls is much worse that night. I have googled nettle contents and one of the chemicals is histamine.
