Hello, D Jane! How are you?

There are quite a few other antihistamines available, some via prescription and some over the counter. But many don't help as much for anxiety, but one over the counter option would be Diphenhydramine and another prescription option would be Promethazine.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
