I have bad hay fever myself, and I once made the mistake of taking two Benadryl before a big meeting. For those who don't know, Benadryl are notorious for making you sleepy - hence the warning about not taking them before operating heavy machinery. I fell asleep during the meeting and got chewed out (nicely, but still) by my boss afterwards.

to those calling ydi on this situation.. I've been in the same situation. first of all, hayfever is not really a fever. Its a powerfull allergic reaction caused by the pollen of plants. The symtoms very mutch from person to person. I myself am very allergic and no amount of medicine will cure the symtoms. My boss however was only mildly allergic (he had a smaller case of hayfever) so he would not believe my symtoms and tried to fire me as an addict too. This might seem an easy case for the lot of you but if your boss is the kind of "Clint Eastwood" hardass there ain't mutch you are going to do about it. I went to court and won some money back but hardly enough to pay the legal fees.

i am the same as the OP. Im taking Zyrtec, nasonex and singulair every day. It is the only combo that works for me and they are non drowsy meds, so it wont affect your work performance.

Flonase is the only medication that actually works for me. It's the only thing that keeps me functional during ragweed season. highly recommend it.

Thats what eyedrops are for

Riiight.

Make yourself some special brownies, that'll make you feel better about yourself. Or it'll make you feel nothing but hunger, either way...

Twinkiestar wasn't talking about the South. S/he said "Southland" as in New Zealand, which is where the post is from.

Dont go to work sick

Don't feel bad. People think I'm always tweaking because I have dark circles under my eyes (have had them since I'm a kid), am pale, and shake a lot because I consume nothing but sugar and caffeine. Use it to your advantage and sell your friends Advil for 15 bucks a pop. Just don't tell 'em what it is and say it "***** you up good, man!"
