What's the best OTC allergy med?
I am in hell. Zrytec usually works for me but this year it's just taking the edge off, barely.
I have been taking it in the morning and Benadryl at night.
Anything work better? Allegra maybe?

Allegra D. The only thing that works for me when they are really bad.

Re: What's the best OTC allergy med?
I used to work in a pharmacy and the pharmacist swore that your body got used to the medicine and it didn't work as well, so he would switch it up for himself/his kids.if Zyrtec isn't working anymore, it can't hurt to try Allegra or Claritin.
Feel better!

Re: What's the best OTC allergy med?
I like Alavert the most...the active ingredient is the same as regular Claritin, but it dissolves on your tongue so (I feel, anyway...) it seems to start working quicker than swallowing a pill. I usually feel relief within about 30 minutes.
I can't comment on any of the ones with decongestants...those make me feel like I'm flying so I stay away from those.
Feel better!!

Try the 12 hour one- the 24 hour one can interfere with/cause sleep problems.
