I've been taking Chlorpheniramine 4mg tablets for my allergies, and while they do help with the sneezing and itching, I'm finding them to be incredibly drowsy. I've been trying to take them at night, but I'm still feeling groggy the next day. Is this normal? Does anyone have any tips to cope with the drowsiness, or should I talk to my doctor about switching medications? I've heard that some people take a lower dose and it helps, but I'm not sure if that's safe. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
