Suggest An Alternative To Zyrtec Tablets Prescribed For Allergy

Allergy season. So many different antihistamines on the market. I am stuffy every night. Zyrtec makes me tired into the next morning - even a half one. Claritin seems to help minimally. I am a 67 year old female about 115 pounds. I take amlopodine for high blood pressure so am reluctant to take a decongestant, though that is what I feel like I need. I think the ideal for me would be a 12 hour, time-release something to take only at night - maybe even a child sized dose. Any suggestions.?
