I have used this drug for 25 years or more for severe seasonal allergies. They used to make a 8mg time release tablet that was the best, not sure why that was taken off the market as it was the best ever and my allergist and other Dr's agree with this it is the only drug that actually works.

Taking the drug at night helps with allergy all day or allows for smaller dose in daytime so not so sleepy. Wish they would bring back the 8mg pill.

I have been suffering from hay fever for around 23 years. I have tried many medications and this is the ONLY one that works for me. The others either don't work at all or have some very unpleasant side effects that I can't handle. I was on allergy shots for a while, but they did not seem to give good results either and my allergist recommended just using the medication. I do get occasional drowsiness but it passes. I would rather deal with the temporary drowsiness than suffer with the allergy symptoms which would literally drive me crazy otherwise. Without the medication I get sinus headaches, sore throats, sneezing, watery itchy eyes and ears and my tongue and throat will even get itchy when it is really bad. Spring is the worst for me because I am allergic to the budding trees and the cottonwood from the cottonwood trees. I take the chlorpheniramine maleate along with pseudephedrine (decongestant). In the spring when my symptoms are the worst I do have to double up on the dosage of the chlorpheniramine maleate (2 pills every 12 hours instead of 1 pill every 12 hours) in order for it to be effective, but I do not double the pseudephedrine (sudafed). The only side effect that I am aware of is a lot of constipation so I have to take LOTS of fiber. I take the twelve hour dosage two times a day, in other words all day every day along with a twelve hour dose of generic sudafed (round the clock as well). I don't know how I would survive without this medicine.
