Hey here's a thing not everyone knows:

Cetirizine (Zyrtec) has been shown to be as effective as diphenhydramine (Benedryl), without the drowsy side-effects. So now that cetirizine is available OTC and as a generic, there's basically no reason to take diphenhydramine (except as a sleep aid, I guess.)

Just a few sources, there are more: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10250918/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17883909/, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3205335/.
