Taking Allergex As A Sleep Aid

Hi there. I suffer from anxiety. It has its stages of being bad and mild but this whole year I have struggled to sleep. Even if I do sleep my mind is wide awake, I am never in a deep sleep and my heart is always racing. I’m just very tense all the time and the lack of sleep makes it worse. I take 2 Allergex every now and then to help me sleep. I’d take it every night if I could, which is what I’m here to ask? I’m scared of sleeping pills so I haven’t tried them yet. I’ve just recently gone onto 'stressam' for now which doesn’t help me relax when I sleep either, surprisingly. Please help. I'd love to take them every night as it’s the only thing that works.

Allergex is listed as containing the active ingredient Chlorpheniramine, which is most commonly used to treat, or prevent allergic reactions, though is can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and sedation as a side effect, according to FDA reports.

Many people do take it daily for allergy issues, but you should always double check with a medical professional.

Are you on any other medications, besides the Stressam?

Have you ever had your insomnia checked out?
