While fexofenadine (Allegra) is usually non-drowsy, it can occasionally cause insomnia in some people. It is generally safe to switch to cetirizine or diphenhydramine while using oral terbinafine and topical ketoconazole, as there are no major interactions. Diphenhydramine is more sedating and might help you sleep while easing the itch, while cetirizine is a good once-daily option that is mildly sedating. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure these options are right for you.
