I tried them all...Allegra, Claritin, zirtec, also the otc stuff. the big 3 didn't work for me at all. the otc stuff that you have to show id for works, but makes me drowsy, so I only took half of the recommended dosage, it took the edge off.

Someone suggested I try Flonase. after3 days, all seasonal allergy symptoms vanished !! I'm hoping that it continues to work for years ti come !!

Good luck, allergies can be miserable.....
