I take Allegra 24hr in the morning, Zantac 150 too; then a Zyrtec 24 at nite. Ive heard from several sources that taking Benadryl for a lenght of time is very hard on your liver, so be careful...

I don't see why that would be true.  Benadryl is just an antihistamine... and antihistamines in general are incredibly safe, even at high doses over long periods of time.  That's true for both the H1 and H2s.  Personally, all of my liver enzymes are quite low, which tells me that my liver is nice and happy.  Also, anaphylaxis is much harder on your internal organs than antihistamines.  IMO, there are much better reasons to take them than not to take them.

Where did you hear this information?  Do you have any links?
