Pretty much. I saw an allergist recently and he said Benadryl doesn't really help with allergies, but was like, "hey if it helps you sleep go for it." ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Benadryl is good for immediate relief to allergies but doesn't last long.

    Tbh if your allergist said this I'd probably find a new one.

    Yes second gen antihistamines have fewer side effects but benadryl works faster (zyrtec takes about an hour and benadryl takes like 30 mins) so in some cases its called for.
