I’d be careful. I started taking Zyrtec for Summer Hayfever, and found that if I stopped, the allergy would resume, even in WINTER!.

It took 6 months to SLOWLY taper off the zyrtec so coming off didn’t cause the symptoms.

Yes, drug manufacturers are incentivized to create drugs that you need. And they’re getting better at it.

How many of you are taking something right now? And you probably don’t need it.

LOL...I was driving through a town Sunday, and saw a billboard that said “ALLEGRA IS HERE!”

I wanted to pull my car over and take a picture to post...people are always asking Allegra where she is!

Here in Central Texas, nothing really works. I gave up. I don’t fight it any more; I just bottle the snot and sell it at the flea market as an environmentally friendly lubricant.

It's not any better on the Gulf Coast. The pine pollen is killin' me.

Maybe I should try some Allegra?

Hey, try it! What do you have to lose?

One thing I found that helps during our cedar pollen season is a respirator mask.

It’s uncomfortable as all get-out and certainly doesn’t make a fashion statement. (Unless the fashion statement you’re seeking to make is “dork with allergies”.)

But it DOES work, at least for me. I can even go outside and work in the yard without being miserable.

HELPFUL HINT: put the mask on BEFORE your nose starts to flow. :-)

Allegra is the only allergy medicine that doesn’t make me really drowsy, and it works pretty well for me. Zyrtec and Benadryl make me fall asleep about an hour after I take either of them.

My son frequently travels to Canada on business, and he became my Allegra drug mule, since it has been OTC there for a long time. I guess I can fire him now.

Waiting for the Costco generic version of Allegra. Generic Zyrtec and Calaritan both work for me too. Each of those is 365 tabs for $13 and $16.

Branded Allegra at Costco is 90 tabs 180mg tabs ofr $35.

Wish I had thought of that! Now, if we can just find a way to make grasspurs into a cash crop...

btw, I find that Allegra helps, and Allegra-D is even better- and now I think I know why my insurance isn't covering them this year.

Allegra is the only allergy med that really works for me. Claritin doesn’t seem to do much, and Zyrtec has some really weird side effects that bother me. It makes me irritable to the point of losing my temper and going into a rage over insignificant things. This happened to others, too, so I’m not the only nut out here. ;-)

It’s about time Allegra went OTC. It will be expensive for a while until they allow production of the store brands. Our crappy insurance makes it expensive to get a prescription, even for the generic, so I’m very happy about the news.

Benadryl does that to me. I thought my doctors would think I was nuts when I told that but they said it has that effect on some people. It's well known among doctors.

This is great.

All the city girls can now venture out of the city limits without fear of an allergic reaction to the foul country air.

They can go visit their boyfriend’s grandmother and help her shuck corn.
