Not perfect, I have fairly severe asthma and take a med that helps with asthma AND allergies daily and I need it but I rarely need zyrtec anymore. Pre-psych meds I was on it for about 4-5 months per year. APs and some ADs more than other drugs. And of course hydroxyzine actually is an allergy drug...
Oh nice! But I grew out of the allergies before all the lovely psych meds I started taking
