Are there any effects on weight loss, metabolism, muscle anabolism or catabolism with common non-drowsy anti-histamines?

great question, worth discussing as I use Zyrtec and had been wondering the same…
ok experts, help us out here…
I’ve taken Claritin for awhile, long before it was over the counter. I have had periods where I didn’t take it and haven’t noticed any differences or any kind of effects like what you were talking about. I believe it has very few side effects in general. I take many medications(I’m a damn wreck!) and I always worry about training effects and pay close attention, but I’m not a medical expert.
I’ve been taking Claritin-D almost daily for years and the only difference I notice is how thirsty I am on the days I take it. I drink a gallon of water on non-Claritin days and more on Claritin days. I wish it helped with weight loss!
What about Sudafed as a fat burner? It contains 60mg of pseudoephedrine per tab. Now ephedrine is harder to come by than heroin or an assault rifle, would this be a viable alternative? Any opinions welcome.
Actually you can still purchase Ephedrine HCL in just about any gas station or drug store. It is not banned. Just the Herbal supplement Ephedra was banned.
The HCL in my opinion has always been a better choice anyway, you know exactly the dose you are getting as opposed to the herbal version.
Just my 2 cc,
