Can anyone recommend an allergy pill that doesn’t cause depression I was taking Claritin for almost a year and it may have just been adding to my depression any suggestions?

Hi, barbiecorn,
Nearly all the OTC remedies I researched seem to have the potential to cause depression as a side effect but it depends on your response to the medications.
I have severe depressive episodes barely controlled with drugs but I take cetirizine (generic Zyrtec) and that doesn't affect me as far as I can tell. I only use it as needed so that may make a difference, I suppose.
You'll probably need to ask your doctor or pharmacist for suggestions. Perhaps there's a prescription medication that might be helpful?
Good luck!
