Interesting. There recently was an article about how premenopausal and menopausal women are taking antihistamines with pepcid to help them sleep due to it going viral on tiktok.

> Then, a few months ago, Angela saw a social-media post from a woman who took daily anti-histamines (like Allegra, Claritin, or Zyrtec) plus Pepcid AC (a common antacid) for her perimenopause symptoms. Her results, as reported, sounded miraculous: no more brain fog, no more tossing and turning all night. Even her mood vastly improved.

Technically Pepcid is also an antihistamine, but h2. And h1-antihistamines have been used for sedation for a long time tho the effect is very much ymmv (first one I tried OTC would knock me out but not let me rest at all, not a keeper).
