yes, i have to take both on occasion, and yes i prefer them separate.
the antihistamine can slow the "runny nose" (and reduce sneezing but i still get at least 2 painful ones a day), but it also clots up what's in the sinuses themselves.
pseudofed i take separately for that, but only in the 4-hour pills, to handle that, but i still also need guaifenasen, the expectorant, to reduce the inevitable sinus drainage.
so its a 24-hour claratin, with occasional 4-hour "blue liquid-pills", usually generics.
i can't take any form of 24-hour psuedofed. i discovered that the 24-hour ingrediant and psuedofed don't get along in my system -- all the psuedofed gets into my system at once so i breath brilliantly for 4 hours, and then the kickback's a bitch.
