Why do Second Generation Anti Histamines Cause dryness in the mouth??
Question: Also the causes for any other side effects such as dizziness/drowsiness would be appreciated
Answers: Hi Iravan
Here are some ideas to heal the dizziness issue.
Cause
Dizziness is usually caused by a sudden drop of blood pressure in the brain as a result of standing up too quickly (postural hypotension), fatigue, stress, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), temporary blockage of blood to the brain as in a transient ischemic attack, low blood oxygenation (anemia), low blood iron, and/or certain drugs.
Lightheadedness, giddiness, and fear of losing one`s balance may be a sign of depression or anxiety.
Some cases of dizziness can also be due to mercury poisoning from dental amalgams. If you have such fillings in your teeth, consider having them replaced by a holistic dentist trained in their proper removal (see Holistic Dentistry).
If dizziness is caused by standing after sitting or lying down, this can be an indication of adrenal exhaustion. The individual should take action to restore adrenal health by stopping the use of stimulants (caffeine, tobacco, alcohol) and via rest and normalization of lifestyle and nutritional balance.
Caution: Severe or prolonged dizziness needs to be evaluated by health professional and may require blood tests.
Natural Cures
Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet. If you are hypoglycemic (suffering from low blood sugar), eat smaller meals throughout the day and eliminate your intake of refined sugars, caffeinated beverages, and alcohol. If you are anemic, consume more chicken, dark green vegetables, and raw seeds.
Flower Essences: Take Rescue Remedy® for accompanying stress.
Herbs: Ginger and ginkgo leaf extract can be very helpful.
Homeopathy: Gelsemium, Phosphorus, Cocculus, Convallaria, and Granatum can help address underlying causes of dizziness.
Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin B complex, niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin E, and iron (in cases of dizziness related to anemia) are helpful supplements for preventing and minimizing the effects of dizziness.
For dizziness related to adrenal exhaustion, also include vitamin C (3-5 grams daily), vitamin B5 (500-1000 mg daily), and adrenal glandulars as part of your daily supplement program.
What to do: At the first signs of an attack of dizziness, take a few deep breaths and sit down to rest. When you feel dizzy upon standing it helps if you can immediately squat down or cross your legs (strongly pressing them against each other), as this forces circulation back up from the lower body/limbs to the trunk and head.

Because salivation is also controlled by histamine. Antihistamines don't discriminate which histamine effects they block, so in addition to the good effects of blocking histamine, you also get reduced salivation.
As for drowsiness- histamine is thought to be involved in regulating wakefullness in the brain. The older antihistamines (such as benedryl) block those receptors and cause drowsiness. The newer drugs actually cause a lot less drowsiness (if any) because they don't get into the brain.
