As you've indicated, Cetrizine can cause drowsiness:

For hay fever (among other things), I'd prefer Loratadine:

It generally doesn't cause drowsiness but the advice is to try it out first before committing yourself to driving or similar activities.
Loratadine also has the advantage of being really cheap if you buy it under that name (rather than under the various brand names that it's also available), particularly from Co-op pharmacies.
However what suits one person might not suit another so well. It's a case of trial-&-error (combined with advice from your pharmacist, of course) really.

I used to have Loratadine, but they got 'less effective', so upgraded to Cetirizine, which I have used for the last 3 years or so (no drowsiness problem at all). Eyes have started running again and as my eyedrops are the strongest I can have, my Doc has now upgraded me again to Fexofenadine, so we'll see how those go.
