Tired and likely to get more tired

I haven't run since last Thursday. Last night my allergies were really bad so when I got home I took 1 Benadryl, 1 Zyrtec and some nasal spray and crashed. At about 1pm the County attorney's office called and asked if I would be court tomorrow. I said no. When they asked why, I said because I didn't get a subpeona or 10 working days notice and if they had a problem with that they could call my supervisor. I fell back asleep only to be woken up an hour later by my supervisor asking me to go to court. I told him I had gotten 2 subpeonas for next week via inter office mail - they are supposed to be hand delivered. Went back to sleep. Got up at 5:30 to take care of the horses and eat. I still feel a Benadryl hang over and my eyes are dry.
Since I supposedly have to be in court at 9am and I get off work at 6:45, I brought my running stuff to work and will try to get 5 miles in - if they are lucky, I will take a shower and change before I roll into court. Of course, I have no idea what I am being called to court for and have no idea what court it is in.
This is how I forsee it will work...I will show up at 9am and they will say..."sorry, it's been postponed until 1:30pm" (this has happened before). If that happens, I am not going to be back in court because I'll be sleeping....I really don't like my sleep being messed with.
I got a nice email from Betty Sport letting me know that they are having everything in Rogue at 20% discount and it is the tax free weekend. I have my nice little $100 gift cert. from Rogue..woo, hoo!! I will be there at 10 am to get some good stuff!

My name is Susan Ward and i would like to show you my personal experience with Zyrtec.

I am 30 years old. Have been on Zyrtec for 3 months now. I thought I was dying! It must be cancer or some disease. I felt that bad. I exercise 6 days a week and I know my body very well. I new something wasn't right but never thought it would be an allergy pill to blame. Within three months these symptoms hit hard. I tracked it back to the day I started taking this medication. The side effects didn't hit me right away. I was just happy to be able to breathe. So I'm assuming the clinical trials for this drug were not long enough to witness these types of side effects. I'd rather deal with the allergies than these side effects. Glad to know others feel the same. I'm not just going crazy.

I have experienced some of these side effects -
Major fatigue, gained 13 lbs in 3 month period very unusaul for me). wild mood swings, major depression, loss of short term memory. Stop taking the pill and fill almost back to normal.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
Susan Ward
