I'm dealing with some really bad basal allergies and a persistent cough. I took Leon 500 mg and Lukotas HD at night, but then I just couldn't sleep the whole night and ended up with a terrible headache the next day. Even opening my eyes was painful. How can I avoid these side effects but still tackle the allergies and cough?
