Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are right these effects can be seen sometimes with this drug. I would suggest you should manage the drug. There are many more antiallergic drugs that may work well. If it's side effects are bothering you, you can always change the drugs wit advice of your doctor. Piriton (Chlorphenamine) can induce sleep and may be more calming effect.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
