BUT, it turnes out I 'was' congested. Within hours of taking Claritin "D" I was amazed at how much easier I could breathe!

Exercise was WAY easier, too.

Prior to "D", I couldn't ever get really 'deep' breaths while working out...

On days when I (somehow) forget to take the C-d, I'm absolutely WIPED OUT by 3 or 4 pm. Completely exhausted...

Well Kat, thanks for the advice. I hadn't considered that I may be congested, maybe I'll give it a try. Anything's gotta be better than the groggy Benadryl feeling. Thanks!
