I saw an allergry thread here a few days ago, but didn't click on it so I'm sorry if this is OFN.
I have horrific seasonal allergies. I'm a +4 on pretty much every living thing outdoors. I've been on a current cocktail of Flonase, prescription eye drops, Claritan in the morning and Zyrtec at night.
The crap isn't working. I wind up taking Benadryl at least two to three times a week and of course, it knocks me out.
This is no way to live.
I was seeing an allergist last year getting antigen shots twice a week and it was helping a little, but the day my daughter went into severe anaphylaxis (after they failed to inform me they were upping her antigen) and had to have a shot of epinephrine right there in the office (ambulance ride to the ER followed), we stopped going there.
What works for you? I've heard good things about Allegra, but I'm afraid that after awhile I will just build up a tolerance for it as I have the other medications.
Sucks.

We used to live in PNW. We moved to metro Denver 4 years ago. Ever since, it's like I've been hit with the freaking plague.

I take Claritin (loratadine) during the day. On bad days, I take Claritin-D. I always take a benedryl or two before bed.

I know this sounds kind of lame, but have you tried the "eating local unpasteurized honey" thing?

I realize now I do not fear death. I fear my daughter will not be free when I die.

If you are taking all that crap and it isn't working, I suggest you see an allergist. I've never had to take that much stuff for my allergies.
