Sorry to hear the turbinate reduction didn't work for you, that was actually what I was considering next.

I seem to remember that the dementia thing was to do with long term use of first generation antihistamines (the drowsy kind). I can't quite remember if second generation antihistamines were a problem or not so might be worth check out with a doctor if you're worried.

Thanks for responding. Yeah, I don't use the 1st gen. The drowsiness is a deal breaker, since I'm already on the edge of drowsiness most days. I only use loratadine, and it doesn't do a lot. But I probably don't need to be using it every day anyway, since it doesn't do a lot.
