I suffer from Hayfever, Cat Hair, Dust.. you name it. I tried over the counter meds for years.. only to find myself tired , groggy and them immune to them eventually. I tried Several Anti Histamine products and they made me tired as well. I had a friend that was taking Zyrtec and almost immediatly started feeling better without any side effects. She gve me 2 tablets(10mg) I know your not suppose to do that! So don't ! But it worked on the 2nd day. The 1st day I was a little sleepy, so I went to my DR. and he put me on 10mg 30 pills. They are a live saver. Funny thing is I also suffer a little from Anxiety and Zyrtec is also has some properties in it that helps a little from that. The Upside - No More Allergies . I mean NOTHING! Downside - I get dry mouth a lot, and I constantly carry water bottles , yes this is a side effect. I have been on Zyrtec now for 2 yrs and it has changed my life. I have to take it year around now and that is another side effect that the doctor didn't tell me about, My Summers are worse and I stopped taking it in the winter for a week but I get itchy, I have been told since it blocks my histamine this does happen so owell I am on it all year around and I have not built up a tollerance for it same dose 10mg 1 time a day and I function like a normal Human. But I still don't like Cats!! Sorry all Cat Lovers! :)
I checked around on several online Pharms and even Walgreens wants $75.00 for 1 month supply. I get mine at medRxshop.com for $27.00 for a 2month Supply!! I am not selling here just suggesting to try this medication if you have allergies. But I have not found a better and cheaper place for this med than that site where my friend sent me. I can imagine living without it. It's at my door like clockwork every 60 days.
Check with your doctor and see if Zyrtec is the right med for you and please let me know if you have the same relief I did!
Happy New Years ALL!
I couldn't agree better with you but Zyrtect does work. But God only knows what Pharmacy you go to but my local Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS Pharmacies in Chicago have a bottle of Zyrtec which contain 30 for less than 20 dollars. If i'm not correct that's a month supply of being allergy free. Anyway regardeless of the price, Zyrtec works wonders.

I'm 33 and have taken allergy medications since I was 12 years old. At 12 I started the shots and continued for a few years. My body would become immune to one pill and the doctor would put me on a different one. Every 2-3 years I would switch pills. These were all 1st generation. My pills have always been a combination of antihistamine and decongestent. When I left one medical provider i was taking two pills per day. One for each symptom. I switched medical providers and the doctor oked getting these prescriptions renewed. I have allergies February - October and if anyone has a pine tree for christmas, you can add to that. Last year the only manufacturer of my antihistamine discontinued and per my doctors suggestion I started to take chlortrimaton OTC along with my decongestant. It has worked for the most part, but certainly not allergy free. Now today I found out that my decongestant is no longer being manufactured. AGGGG So today I bought MucinexD (600 mg guaifenesin & 60 mg pseudoephedrine HCI, clortrimaton and sudafed 12hr (120mg pseudoephedrine hydorchloride). My now discontinued decongestant was 600 mg guaifenesin with 120 mg pseudomedrine). I have tried zyrtec 10mg & i shouldn't have but even doubled and tripled the dosage, with no relief. I've also tried claritan & claritan D & allegra all having me show no signs of relief. I'm going to ask my doctor for Xyzal just to try, but i have my doubts. I'm researching Semprex-D now. Blue Cross only has a few decongestants in their plan and I've tried most of them, but almost all are sprays. I hate sprays. Almost every last one I had side effects of bloody noses, and nasty after taste. Astelin has been the best of 5 that I've tried so far. I will start my Astelin tomorrow but won't combine with the other OTC's I bought today and just try different variations. My allergy season starts in about 30 days! Does any one have any suggestions to what I should do now? I'll probably buy Entex LA (Reformulated)
Pseudoephedrine 120mg/Guaifenesin 600mg (called Entex PSE in the USA)
No prescription is required for this product in Canada. I'll ask my doctor if i can try Entex PSE prescription also. He thinks my allergies are in my head and no one should need anything as strong as what i take except people who take meth. I finally got referred to an allergist. Does anyone have any advice for me as to other alternate steps??
My main allergies include: Pine/juniper, eucalyptis, dust, mold, grass/weeds per skin tests. I can personnally can add many different flowers that I'm allergic to, like the lilly or iris families, and definately jasmine.
I hope I do get a response and thank you for reading all of this.

I can relate to your challenges. I am 38 and have been taking meds since I was 14, the year they began. I am one of the folks that was a die hard drixoral user, as it was the ONLY thing that ever worked for me. I got Drixoral from Canada as it is no longer made the US temporarily until the new Manf. plant is ready. The Canada Drixoral is NOT the same!(It is made by a differnt manufacturer) It did not give me the same relief and it made me tired--after four hours into the supposed 12 hour relief formula, I would crash and have to sleep or hang my head at work and pretend I was present. The US fomula NEVER made me tired ever!
So this year I had to come up with a new plan! I have tried every prescription and OTC remedy available to mankind so I knew none of the second gens. would work for me or anything else for that matter. claritin and Zyratec(sp) was a joke for me, not touching any of my symptoms.
Anyway, I went to a good homeopathist and got a script and I also cut out refined sugar from my diet. This was tough for me, as I love chocolate and I drink a lot of juice. I did it though and it gave me great results. I began baking using honey or agave nectar in place of sugar, to feed my sweet tooth and chocolate needs, and stopped buying anything with sugar in it. I also bought a juiceman juicer and am now making my own juice. I have made it through the allergy season with great results until this past week. It is almost the end of my allergy season and I am just now feeling bad. (This is great for me)The pollen count is peaking as tree blossoms peak and then fall to the ground releasing their pollen right now. In years past I have suffered horribly for months at a time. I feel much better this year. I live in a beautiful outdoorsy area of CA. so living in the bubble got old. And these are things that have helped me live a more normal life. I am allergic to every kind of grass, tree, weed, pollen, mold, dust, the list goes on.
Another thing that was life changing in helping my allergies was investing in a good Air filter for my home/work. I am told they make them for cars too, which I am going to look into. They sell them inexpensively at Cost-co if you have a card or friend with one. And they are good brand names. I have a Honey Well. It is a good idea to have one at work too. They now have the towers which take up less space. Anyway, I hope some of this may help you. I know first hand what a struggle it is.
Hi Keri,
Sure sounds as though you've been through the ringer! Don't let anyone tell you allergies are "in your head" (even though that IS where you feel the symptoms). I know you said you'd been through allergy shots as a child, but you might want to get a second opinion with an allergist who treats adults and ask whether you might benefit from another course of immunotherapy.
DO be careful about overusing decongestants, as they can have what's known as a "rebound" effect, actually worsening your symptoms. You might also want to look into some of the holistic or alternative therapies as a supplement to the prescriptions your allergist gives you.
I have not tried Cyproheptadine. First glance on internet says it's first generation. Most 1st generations I have not been able to get. Either manufacturer stopped making it, or insurance won't cover because of all the newer drugs available.
As the original poster said, zyrtec & claritan are a joke for people like us starting with 1st gen meds.
Since my post, I've received prescription for singulair (and also taking benadril). I tried it before for 2 weeks, it didn't do me any good. I'm working on week 2 now again, still coughing due to post nasal drip. Finally got approval for the new Omnaris steriod spray. Going to stop singulair and try that out in the next day or so. I also used a netti-pot for the first time last night. weird, but I guess I need to get used to it. I'll try that for a week or so also to see what improves. This is the worst time right now for allergies, and changing meds, is never good.
When going the alternative medicine route one is often left to research and experiment to find the right products and resources. Here is a new site that is beginning to gather all the resources in one place. You can research conditions for various therapeutic modes, including Ayurvedic medicine, and get information about the effectiveness of therapies and remedies. The site is also a launching point for researching integrated alternative medicine therapies on the web. Go to http://www.rvita.com .
My daughter has just started with her allergies flaring up again as she has inherited this from me, her mother... One thing that I wanted to say that I have tried that has showed great success, is a Neti Pot. For those that may not know what a Neti Pot is, I purchased mine from the local drug store, although you can also get them at any Health Food store as well. The Neti Pot looks like a little teapot that you fill with luke warm water and add a little packet of saline solution to it. In the privacy of your bathroom, you tip you head over the bathroom sink and insert the end of the spout into one nostril and let the warm water solution flow up one side of your nostril and down the other into the sink. The idea is to wash out any dust or pollens that get trapped behind your nasal passages and also help reduce inflamation from your sinuses.
I don't use my Neti Pot all the time, but here in Michigan, I find myself using it 2 or 3 times a year when I start getting the first symptoms of allergies or sinuses acting up.
I also like to use pure Natural herbs as an alternative to getting OTC the medications and have had great success.
Thanks for letting me share my success story with you and help that someone else may benefit from the Neti Pot. You can easily do a Google search for "Neti Pot" and you will even find a live deomstration of someone using the Neti Pot.

Natural Pure Herbs for LIFE!
Hi, I used to have constant sneezing attacks as well as rashez, eczema and migraine headaches. I tried all kinds of medication and nothing seemed to help. It cured one thing, but the other symptoms still existed. About a year ago i heard from a friend of mine that a medical laboratory does testings for food sensitivities and she said it helped her. SO i decided to get tested for food sensitivities and to go through a really tough 6 weeks diet. Not only did i loose about 15 pounds, but i am also symptom free now. I still can not eat turkey, onions, msg, pork or wheat which is tough at some time - but it is worth it for me. I noticed if i eat turkey i get constant headaches. I would recommend this test to anyone who can actually stick to a strict diet and is tired of taking medicin for everything. It really worked for me, but of course i worked hard for it. They tested me for a 132 different foods and it was a little expensive - but if you add up the cost of medication i used to pay monthly - it is well worth it. If anyone is interested just visit sagelab.com.

Clarinex and singulair together have finally improved the quality of my life so my allergies are much better and I'm no longer short of breath. I had to fight my insurance company to continue to get Clarinex as they ruled there would be no more prescription coverage for allergy medication when Claritin when OTC - been there, taken that, as effective as a sugar pill. I researched Clarinex and found a lot of European studies that proved that this combo significantly improved allergy/asthma control. What I found incomprehensible was that the cost of attempting to treat the illnesses associated with allergies and asthma is so much higher than paying for effective medication. The insurance company's claim to care about being proactive and engaging in prevention is a joke.
Yes, it is incomprehensible that in emerging fields like asthma and diabetes, when it is the newer medicines that are the most effective, because they have the most recent knowledge of causation and what works behind them, health insurance companies won't pay for them. Instead, they are penny wise and pound foolish in pushing the less effective, older, and CHEAPER treatments. Simply to save money today, when tomorrow the costs of side effects, complications and death may be much higher.
Of course, when you don't have health insurance, like me, you are not constrained by those limits. But the most effective medicines are also totally priced out of our reach. Quite a dilemma...
There are a lot allergy medications and a number of different combinations have been used successfully (either as reported by clinical trial or by clinical observations). Which drug or combination regimen to take? No one really knows why some drugs or regimens work better in some than others. Even between drugs from within the same class (e.g. second-generation antihistamines), one drug may work better than the other from person to person. Unfortunately, the only thing for your physician to do is empirically try one drug/regimen after another until you find symptomatic relief. So, the best thing you can do is be completely honest with your physician about how you are responding to your medication.
I recommend Nasalcrom, an OTC nasal spray that coats the inside of the nose, blocking the MAST cells that initiate the allergic response. It's not very expensive, has no side effects that I'm aware of, and is not habit-forming. The one drawback is that for best results you need to start taking it a week or more before allergy season, since it takes time to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Hi, In the Spring/early Summer two years ago while living in Tucson, AZ I developed RA and within weeks I went from being a fit and energetic 60 year old to a person that could hardly walk or use my hands. As the prescribed medicine made me feel very sick I decided to try to establish if certain foods I was eating were having an adverse effect on my health. I isolated corn, yeasts and others as being 'danger foods'. This coincided with a move to Northern Arizona and within a few months I was feeling 95% of my former self. Unfortunately this Spring we had to return to Tucson and once again my RA has hit me very hard even though my diet is still controlled. After a lot of research I believe that the African Sumac tree could be to blame. It flowers several times a year and with the high winds in Arizona there is no escape from pollens and dust. So my question is do you think that an allergy medicine like Allegra could help me and is there any harm in trying one. By the way I don't show any other signs of allergies, like sneezing and sinus pains. I don't have health insurance so would prefer an over the counter drug so I can avoid seeing a doctor. I would appreciate any advice you can give. Thank you.
Hi George,
Sorry to hear you're having such a tough time. I'm no expert on RA or any relationship with allergies, so I really can't advise you on that at all. You might see an immunologist, though I know that's pricey when you don't have insurance. Still, it might yield some clues.
I can't advise you on medicine, especially in light of your other health problems, but I can tell you that Allegra (which requires a prescription) IS pricey. It costs me around $80 at Walmart. On the other hand, you can probably find Claritin (or a generic equivalent) or Zyrtec, both of which are available without a prescription, for about a quarter to a third of the price of Allegra. I personally find that Allegra works best for me, but other people seem to prefer one of the others, so you never can tell.
Good luck,
Kathi
Non drowsy medications sound great but they don't work for me at all. Iv'e tried clartin and singulair. They don't make me tired but don't do anything to help my seasonal allergies. I read clartin takes like 3 hours to work. I've been forced to take Benadryl, it makes me very tired but it helps me.
I need to find a medication that is in between the two, one that works fast but isn't a sleeping pill.
If benny works for you then your allergies are not that bad, i have been reading all these post as i suffer from sever allergies and wish i could find relief. You take benny and say it works.... well thats great, that also means your allergies are only light to maybe a small moderate. Maybe i am angry at you for being so lucky or maybe im just being mean, i dont know. However i do know that these allergies suck and im trying Zyrtec next.
I have been taking Brompheniramine & Pseudoephedrine Capsule SR 12hr, 10-120mg for years and it works better than Zyrtac or Claritin, and I have no side effects. It starts working within 30 min as opposed to the hour or more of the other meds. This is a generic which I have been told is discontinued. I have not tried the Histex SR tablets which I am told is the alternitive. The price is about double. But if they work it's worth it
I am a late bloomer (never had an allergy until I was about 45) and slowly developed some severe allergic reactions to unknown triggers. I had the normal symptoms of stuffed up head, raspy throat, labored breathing. I tried all of the prescription and OTC antihestines and decongestants. Some did help a little, but no real relief. And many had the familar side effects that just added to my misery.
What made me go radical was a new twist, the nasal dripping on back of my throat started causing me throat issues. Add a constant sore throat, swallowing problems, and not sleeping well if at all.
A friend recommended a fast, then slowly adding back food so I could see what, if any, foods might be causing my problems. I chose the popular lemonade diet (where you just go to lemon juice, grade b honey, and cayene pepper) for a few days to clense my system and slowly add back in food items.
It was challanging the first few days but as I got used to it, my allergies started tapering off. That was my real motivator to get through the diet, less allergy problems. If you don't want to go as radical on the fasting and clense routine there are alternatives that can have the same impact, although much slower. I think I saw one at the GNC vitamin store but can't remember the name.
Anyway, bottom line is no medicine now and very few allergy problems. The food that caused my allergies were almost all dairy products. Anything with milk (and you wouldn't guess how many things have milk or cheese in them) triggers my allergies. And I also lost about 10 lbs that I didn't need, and have shaken the sugar habit.
If you suspect it's a food item, this could help you find out which foods are the cause. And I had been tested before and for some reason nothing showed up. It just shows how difficult it can be to find the culprit.

Hi Kathleen,
I believe that you would be interested in the results of a prospective randomized double-blind, controlled crossover study of Sinol and Sinol-M - capsaicin based nasal sprays, in patients with allergic rhinitis.
Sinol is an FDA licensed homeopathic drug and has been available in the US since 2005.
A new generation product Sinol-M has just been launched.
Sinol-M is differentiated from its predecessor by the addition of MucoAd - a methylcellulose based mucoadhesive carrier.
The addition of MucoAd is intended to prolong the contact time between the active ingredients of Sinol and the nasal mucosa, thereby improving efficacy and reducing the frequency of use.
A landmark clinical study, performed at the Institute for Asthma and Allergy in Wheaton MD, compared Sinol and Sinol-M, demonstrated the efficacy of both Sinol and Sinol-M versus no treatment in patients with persistent allergic rhinitis.
This data was presented for the first time on Jan 31st 2009 at the Western Society of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology meeting, in Maui, Hawaii and will also be discussed during the American Academy of Asthma Allergy and Immunology meeting which will be held in Washington DC, next week.
With the upcoming of the spring allergy season, I believe that this data would be of great interest to your readers.
Please feel free to contact me by phone or email at any time.
I too like Allegra (as much as I like taking prescription medicine, at any rate). My cousin would share her tabs with me when I lived with her in 2001. It worked very well. You're right though, very expensive without prescription (no generic yet?? how's that possible??). A few years ago, my previous insurance company made me try another medication for 30 days since they didn't have an agreement with Allegra. It was a big to-do, and I never did go through the hassle of using something else first to edify them. Never got to taking Allegra. I now have a different insurer, and, since summer's here, I should have meds. Not sure if my new carrier covers it. I sympathize with those who don't have coverage. I've been without coverage at different periods in my life, up to about 8 or 9 years total. It's hell.
Benadryl is a no-go. It's great to have around (esp the children's liquid) if you need relief ASAP. But when I take it, I'm a zombie. So it's of absolutely no use when I want to mow lawn or something.
The diet stuff is very intriguing. Sari Mellman is a world-renowned nutritionist who bases her diets (the diet she gives you) around an allergy test. Not many other docs/nutritionists out there are very progressive when it comes to this. They'll give you the standard scratch test and prescribe medication. If you can avoid problems by changing your diet, why take meds??
I know that Costco carries Kirkland Signature (their store brand) versions of Claritin and Zyrtec. If you want to try those, you can get a big bottle (300 tablets) of the generic version of either drug for $12 to $15. I just bought the Zyrtec one (first time trying it). You're supposed to take one a day, so this should last me an entire year (don't need it in the fall or winter, so will last longer actually). You could try going that route.
Lastly, 4 summers ago I lost a bunch of weight. I was eating clean and taking different supplements. One of them was an amino acids complex. I've tried nettles, quercitin, and butterbur....none of them do much for my allergies. I don't know if it was just the eating cleaner (less immune response because your body is not chronically inflamed from processed foods) or the amino acids (or both), but my symptoms were MUCH better with no meds. Something to think about.
This is a response to Kerry's posting (I think that was her name) regarding Entex LA...
I can't tell you how many dr.'s and pharmacies I've spoken with in the past 4 months; you can NOT buy the 600/120 mg guaifenesin and pseudoephedrine formulation known as Entex LA in the U.S anymore or any generic formulation or reformulation in the US for whatever reason????
I found a generic in my medicine cabinet that was a 3 year old prescription. I know it was dated and probably not as strong, however it worked great for my allergies and sinuses since I quit smoking.
Adams Mucinex does not make a 600/120mg formulation. I tried their 600/60mg formulation Mucinex D, I believe. There is only 60 mg of pseudoephedrine so it does not break up my mucus as well. Then I start getting a "pull" in the back of my neck and my sinuses get all out of whack. Then I went back to my 3 year old prescription and was good to go. I called Adams and they do not if they will make a 600/120mg formulation. Their Maximum Strength is 1200/120mg, I've tried that as well and its way too much guaifenesin, so then I am all medicine head and my head feels super dried out..
Entex LA used to be in the US years ago, then the generics came out. Now you can buy the 600/120 mg formulation at all in the US, even OTC... After 15 years of chronic sinusitus, finally finding something that really works from an old prescription and you can't get it... Sincerely Dave (Pittsburgh PA)
I'm a 22-yr-old from central North Carolina who has suffered from allergies/allergy-induced asthma since infancy . . . and I've done it all: shots, (until anaphylaxis almost killed me), meds of all kinds, air filters, diet modification, etc, but I STILL suffer from terrible allergy symptoms year-round. For a few years I would switch back and forth yearly between medicines (mostly Claritin and Zyrtec) as my body became used to the medications. But when Xyzal came along, it worked like a miracle.
Now, it's been 2 years and my body is acclimated to Xyzal. What is out there that is similar in strength? Would going back to Zyrtec or Claritin be a "step back" in potency and thus be ineffective? Or would the change still be a shock that would "shake things up" and snap my allergies back in line?
Dorm rooms are notoriously unkind to allergy sufferers and I have a HEPA-type air filter in my room, but I need some kind of medication to prevent the sneezing, puffy eyes, and general allergy misery. Any advice?
Wow, i was in a lots of sinus pain dying for a pill, when I ask the clerk where is the allergy section she pointed to me... Bang I was shock and confused of how many competition we have for allergy pills. BTW i didn't buy anything didn't know what to buy or what works.

Allergies are an altered immune response of the body to allergens giving rise to various symptoms. Recent research and advancement in natural therapies have found safe solutions for treating them. Homeopathic allersodes, OM Factor, etc from Biogetica give excellent relief from symptom and help correct the altered immune response for faster and lasting relief plus cure. These basically teach your body to process an allergen without having an allergic reaction. These natural solutions are really a worth a try.
I am allergic to wool alcohols/lanolin. If you know about this allergy you know that I am allergic to cosmetics,ointments,creams,lotions,soaps.topicaldrugs,paper,inks, polishers,furs,waxes,lubricantsand cuttng fluids. I have taken zyrtec, xyzal and generic. I am looking for a medicine that will be covered by insurance. I am 75 and and was diagnosed in 1975.

7 Tips for Dealing with Seasonal Allergies 
Are You Allergic to These 10 Everyday Items? 
10 Things to Know About Food Allergies in the Classroom 
Seasonal vs. Year-Round Allergies 
Hi Diana,
I'm not really allowed to give personal medical advice online; only information. But I CAN tell you that one of the very best ways to control allergy symptoms is to avoid your allergic triggers. Of course, the first challenge is to figure out what those triggers are.
But, if for example, your boyfriend knew that he was allergic to dog dander, then avoiding touching or being with dogs would be the way to prevent symptoms. If he's allergic to dust, then using a vacuum with a HEPA filter and not having carpeting and upholstered fabric furniture can help.
Avoiding triggers is not always possible, but the more he can do in that direction, the better he should feel. As far as alternative methods, research has not yet proven that most of the methods touted actually have value. But this may change. I hope so, anyway, because I hate taking medicine!
I have allergies similar to your boyfriend and have had them for pretty much my entire life. Here's what works for me. Get a netty pot or some kind of nasal irrigator. They are a life-saver. I use mine sometimes as often as twice a day. I have also tried accupuncture and had some success with that as well. Totally worth checking out, especially if your health insurance helps cover part of the cost. I would guess, if he's like me, that it's a combination of both airborne and food allergies that he suffers from. So I would recommend he keep a food journal and write down how he feels after eating differnt kinds of foods. You may find, as I did, that eliminating certain foods will help ease the symptoms. In my experience the migrane headaches are a result of the sinus cavity being signifcantly swollen. In those instances I usually use the netty pot and take an anti-inflamitory like Aleve.
Hi, Diana
You might consider. Although this product says it may take a few days, it worked for me right away. I received the item in the afternoon and normally the mornings are fough because I like to have all the windows open. Prior to taking Clear Guard, I was a sneezing and snuffed nosed mess as soon as I woke up. Sometimes I woke up extremely early because I couldn't breathe and couldn't get back to sleep. After the first day taking it and ever since, I have no issues breathing, my nose isn't stuffed up, and I can enjoy a day without sneezing and watery eyes. This is for seasonal allergy.

Allegra D will not work for him as bad as his allergies are. He even has headaches.
If the shots do not work and whatever the allergist is doing for him do NOT work...Then just say.."thanks, but things are not working here. We do have to go someplace else." and just walk out...Ignore what they say...just keep walking.
What is wrong with this allergist??? He doesn't APPEAR he is helping...geez!
Poor kid!
Good I will try that...Clear Guard...thanks a bunch!!
