I’m looking for information about the long term effects of low dosage
chlortrimeton use in humans for chronic allergy treatment, particularly
regarding side effects and addiction potential.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Chlorpheniramine maleate is one of the oldest and most widely used
antihistamines on the market. It has absolutely no addiction or abuse
potential. It can cause drowsiness in some people, though this incidence
is less than with some other antihistamines like diphehydramine (Benadryl),
and with chronic use, often remits. Like most antihistamines, it has
some degree of anticholinergic activity, so it can cause symptoms like
dry mouth (this "drying" effect is the only reason such drugs are
included in cold preparations.)

Before non-sedating antihistamines were available, I used to have to live
on chlorphenirimine maleate for several months each year, during allergy
season. I was very susceptible to the depressant effects, and would have a
miserable time for about 3 weeks at the beginning of each allergy season.
Surprisingly, after taking it consistently for this time, the side effects
would drop away through some form of adaptation mechanism.

Take a look in the Physicians Desk Reference. The PDR is available
at most libraries.

OK, you asked for it,
ADVICE
I’m a pharmacist. As you can see from the school’s standard sig, I’m an MBA
student now. I get the feeling that you are a lot like I was as an
Undergrad. Kind of restless, and not looking for a "standard" pharmacy career
(see also — count pour lick stick bag tag). I joined the Army. i had a lot
of fun in the Army. I always looked at it as I was an officer first and a
medical person second. I have left the army to persue my business interests.
This is the stem of my advice.
Don’t lose the passion youhave for pharmaceutical chemistry. Instead, temper
it with other interests. This is what I am doing now and I find myself in
some very diverse fields. To give you an idea, i am doing relief work for the
summer to pay my way through school. I’m also consulting to drug stores. I’e
been discussing a project for a mutual fund company. And I’m doing a little
charity work as well as working for one of my professors.
The long and short of it is that my future now may lie in the pharmaceutical
field, or perhaps in some other area (like you I’m considering the MIS field,
as I’ve had an attractive offer to form a partnership).
I would say, don’t turn your back on the profession, but don’t limit youself.
