HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Benadryl may be associated with drowsiness, it is one of the older antihistamines and has this as a potential side effect.
Allegra is a non drowsy anti histamine, though a small percentage of persons may still have drowsiness.
Allegra is a once a day antihistamine, this means that using the benadryl at night would involve taking too much antihistamines in a 24 hour period.
This excess would also contribute to your fatigue.
I hope this helps
