1 more Zyrtec ?-Sleepiness?

Pedi OK'd DD taking Zyrtec (3/4 tsp) once a day. Will it make her sleepy?? Should I wait and give it to her at bedtime or now?

I think it depends on the kid/person.  It makes Griffin a little wired for a while, so we give it to him a few hours before bedtime.  DH, on the other hand, gets very drowsy and takes it right before bedtime.

I was going to say the same thing - I'd be more concerned that it would keep her awake so I'd try it tomorrow.  if it makes her sleepy, then she'll just take a nap, right?  but having her awake until midnight or whatever does not sound fun.
