that's one of the side effects of antihistamine...dry eyes, mouth, and nasal mucosa.

I used to have them REALLY up till 9th grade...I mean, I couldn't keep my eyes open most of the day because they'd be watering like crazy. I went to the doctor one time, got a prescription for Claritin D and Flonase, finished them and have never had a problem since.

I usually take the first dose (one in each eye) in the morning. The doctor said leave at least a half hour between when you put the drops in and when you put your contacts in. Then the second dose I take before bed or in the evening after I take the lenses out.
