what allergy meds are you taking?

DandR

mine aren't cutting it.

I've been doing zyrtec and a nasal spray (nasonex I think??).  My eyes are about to be itched out of my head and if I sneeze one more time I may sneeze my brains out.  Oh, and breathing would be nice.

I do zyrtec at night but if I'm really sneezing bad I will take benadryl too.

Josh & Mandi does Claritin in the morning and zyrtec at night....I cant take Claritin because it makes me all funky.

Michelle does Claritin in the morning and Singulair at night

I taking the Target brand stuff and it's not so bad. I do Visine A for my eyes. it burns like a mofo at first, but really helps.

Zyrtec is the only thing that works for me at all. Well, Benadryl does, but it knocks me out, and it only lasts a few hours. My allergies are so much worse this pg, and baby is already invading my lungs. I'm like an old person; I can't walk more than a block without gasping for breath.

two things-- I made summer beer this again weekend.  Aren't you one who talked about it last year?   Beer, lemonade, and vodka?

 

And i saw on the news that the midwest is extremely high right now for allergies.  I came home today because my eyes are so freaking swollen.  Ridiculous

 

And to answer your question, equate claritin.   It isn't cutting it!

DandR

1. LOVE summer beer!  Ohh, I may have to make some this weekend.  It's supposed to be nice all weekend long!

2. Figures..it finally get nice enough to enjoy the outdoors, and I can't be out there.  might as well be 0 degrees and snowy! 

and WHY isnt't here better drugs for allergies!  Come on drug companies!

I would like to rename summer beer to "blackout beer" or "barf in your neighbor's bushes the next morning beer" or "pass out in your birthday party dress beer".

Yeah....I think those would be appropriate names.

Hypothetically speaking, of course...

We all take Zyrtec.   Also, take it at night; it can make you drowsy.

I take Claritin in the morning and Benadryl at night.

I'm right there with you, R. I take Zyrtec and usually, it works. HoweverN recently, not. so. much. Nasonex also helps me, but of course, I let my Rx run out. And, for those of you who are taking Benadryl on top of Zyrtec/Claritin, did your doctor or pharmacist ok that? Reason being, I've been told by both NOT to take them at the same time. Surely, it's hard on your liver. Then again, I'm not a pharmacist nor a doctor, but play both on TV.
