NBR: Any of YOU take Allegra? (or recommend your allergy meds please)

So it says "non drowsy"..... does that mean that you take in the morning?  Did you have any side effects (yes, I know that could differ from person to person), but just curious how you felt afterwards.

I am taking a generic zyrtec and it was working great the first week and now isn't at all and I feel horrible.  I'm desperate to find something as we're leaving on vacation soon.  BUT I also don't want to try something and then be all "drugged up" during the trip either.

    Allegra works better than Claritin for me. Zyrtec makes me pass out, it's insane. Maybe you need a prescription allergy med? I took Flonase for years, it worked great.

    When do you take it?  It says non-drowsy but does that really ring true???  I don't want to take it in the morning and then get knocked out.  LOL

    Allegra should not make you drowsy (neither should claritin).  You should be fine taking it in the morning.

    I take Allegra, and while I take it in the evening, I do not notice any effects on me in the way of drowsiness. I like the Allegra a lot- I don't find it to have any side effects, and my allergies have never been better!

    Hmmmmm....I was going to start it but not sure when.  I'm afraid to take it tonight and then be up all night...but then afraid to take it tomorrow morning and be falling asleep during a very long drive.  I can't wait to try it!!!  These freaking allergies suck.

    My allergist said the best was Kirkland (Costco) Brand Allergy. You get a one year bottle for under $20 and they work too! Non-drowsy.
