I'd totally forgotten about allergies this winter. Cottonwoods kick my ass when they start dropping their white snowy looking seeds. I talked to my doctor (finally have a doctor) about this, and she did not want to prescribe me anything until closer to the season. I should call her soon before it's bad.
I can't stand Claritin, I have to take it day after day (don't like taking meds to begin with), it doesn't really kick in until 4-5 days into taking it, and it makes me feel out of place. Not sure how to describe it exactly.
I'm not a big fan of Allegra, or the other antihistamines I haven't found one that does not put me in a funk and requires taking days, or weeks before your allergies strike.
Until I find a better solution (hopefully my doc will help me) I generally stick with washing my hands constantly when my allergies are acting up, using nasonex, or an equivalent, and rinsing my eyes really well in the shower. If they are really bad, I do what I have to do for the day, go home and dose on NyQuil and pass out (same solution I have for a cold).
