There is a homeopathic medicine (liquid drops, alcohol based) for animal dander. It's been the most effective to help me live with my cats.

I have personally had terrible alergies. Eyes, sneezing, coughing, the whole works. I have had them so bad it feels like I have a terrible flu rather than alergies. I took Claritin and after just a couple days, maybe sooner, I felt like I had never had any alergies. It is the best medicine and most fast working that I have ever taken. If you have eye troubles, such as redness and puffiness and itchiness and soarness (like I had), You say that you have already tried it but I have had different experiences with it also. When a Doctor prescribed it, it worked perfectly, when I bought it over the counter, it didn't work as well. I don't know how you got your Claritin, but if you bought it over the counter, I would advise getting it from a prescrtiption, for some reason that seems to work better. Patanol is great in that department. I put one or two drops in my eye and everything went away less then 10 min probably. If putting eye drops in your eyes is trouble, a good trick is to close your eye, and put the drop in the corner close to your nose and then tilt your head and it will go in, without having the uneasiness or hardness of putting the drop in. (I always had to hold my eye open and it would twitch really hard and try to shut) Hope this helps.

Instead of a general practitioner, you should see an EENT or an Allergy Clinic. They do a panal on your blood for possible allergens. They will try out different medications until one, or more works for you. If all else fails, they will start you on allergy shots. From what I have witnessed, the best way is to use a combination of allergy medicines. Ussually a nose spray and a pill. Good luck. Talk to your doctor! ;)

The trick is finding the right medicine for you. I know several people who had success with Allegra. I would advise working with a allergy specialist to help you find the right med.

My boyfriend had the same problem. In the spring he gets allergies sooo bad. He had tried allergy shots that did not help at all. He finally tried Actifed allergy and sinus, voila, it worked!
After he had tried every medecine known to man, the actifed did the trick. If you haven't tried it yet it may be worth trying.

It might be wise to see an allergist and start taking allergy shots once a week to build up an immunity to the allergy.

Ask your doctor about Allegra D. If Claritan doesn't work for you, that should. I have 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 rats. I used to have 5 cats! I know the feeling. I love animals but I'm super allergic to them. I took Claritan for years and became immune to it and now it's too expensive for me to buy since it's over the counter. But the Allegra works wonders on me! It couldn't hurt to ask right?

Totally same thing with me. I take Zyrtec and it's so great that my dog can sleep with me! It's the best stuff that I have ever taken!
