With the allergy season in full swing, I thought I'd get some suggestions flowing for allergy medications. Please tell us what you have tried, what you currently use (if any), what's worked and what hasn't worked, and the good and bad things about each one.. If possible, give both a brand name and a chemical/generic name.
Claritin/Loratadine - doesn't work at all for me, but it's supposed to be non-drowsy. It's dirt cheap, however - if it works for you you can get a 28-day supply at a dollar store for $1 and it's the exact same thing - even the same manufacturer.
Airborne Seasonal Relief - tastes NASTY! Not good if you're on the go, as it takes a while for it to dissolve. It worked a little bit when the allergens weren't too bad, for example in early spring.
Chlortrimetron/Chlorpheniramine Maleate - this is my #1 choice, and what I currently use! The package says it may cause drowsiness, but I haven't noticed that. It works fast too.
