Best allergy medicine according to redditors

Diagnosed with a dust mite allergy about a month ago.

Washing my beddings once a week in hot water ( along with taking over the counter allergy meds ) makes a significant different in my ability to concentrate and in my energy levels.

---

EDIT

---

Some repeated questions, so here are some answers

• I was getting really bad brain fog and a lack of energy, so I went to an ENT ( Ear Nose Throat ) doctor.
  
• By brain fog I mean difficulty concentrating, difficulty thinking, and feeling sleepy all of the time, like I was drugged. It would start to clear up in the evening, after drinking a lot of caffeine all day and getting out of my dusty office.
  
• I was also waking up with a really bad cough, and my nose felt congested all of the time though there nothing to blow out.
  
• The ENT checked a number of things out, and ordered a blood test for common allergies.
  
• I had the results forwarded to an allergist.
  
• The ENT had me on flonase, the allergist said to continue with that, and also told me to take zyrtec.
  
• Zyrtec is bad for some people and I am one of them. It gave me worse brain fog and made me sleepy for several days. I called my sister to whine and she revealed to me she also has such an allergy and had a similar problem with zyrtec. My brother-in-law is a pediatricia so he told to just switch to allegra.
  
• I take generic ( Kirkland brand, via Amazon for a SUBSTANTIAL discount ) floinaise and allegra
  
• I put my mattress and pillows into a hypoallergenic sheaths. Didn't notice much from that, but my mattress is latex so that was already helping.
  
• Aside from the drugs, I noticed the biggest difference from washing my beddings ( including blanets ) once a week in HOT water.
  
• My allergist and pediatrician brother-in-law told me that most things promoted for dust mite allergies on the web do not work. The major point of contact for dust mites is your bed. If you have such an allergy you will feel you worst in the morning. If you are going to spend money on "stuff" get the mattress & pillow covers, and enough bedding so you can change it weekly.
  
• I was also told that dust mites don't survive too well in low humidity. I was diagnosed in the spring, so I just used air conditioning. I might get a dehumidifier for the winter.
  
• When I combined the drugs with washing my beddings my head got tremendously more clear, I had more energy, and things that were hard at the gym became much more easy.
  
• With dust mite allergies your nasal passageways become inflamed. That blocks more air from getting into your system. Less air, less energy, more brain fog.
  
  Here are links for the bed things I bought. Very pricey. Almost every product had complaints on Amazon. Someone sent me a link to their dust mite blog where he recommended these products & brands. No complaints on Amazon at the time I ordered them.
  
  Get tested before buying or taking anything ( feel free to wash your bedding ASAP though ), as these things are pricey

  Edit 2019 Oct 28
  
  ---
  
  
• I had my 3 month follow visit to my first appointment with my allergist.
  
• I told her washing the beddings in hot water, the allegra, and the flonaise help,but I still wake up with a cough and congestion
  
• She is having me take capsules of sliced & diced dust mite parts to gradually desensitize my immune system to the wee critters.
  

• She said I will notice a difference in 6 months, and the treatment will reach its maximum effect in 3 - 5 years.
  
  

Go generic or go home, homie.

Seriously, it's extremely cheap to buy generic allergy meds online now. There's no reason to get Claratin over generic Loratadine.

Costco is great, but check Amazon. We're in a similar position. 365 pills on Amazon is $15.99. Obviously Costco is awesome for other things but you might be able to save even more on the Zyrtec. Here is the one we buy for reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G9E1GYA/

Just an fyi in case you didn't know. The costco brand of claratin, zyrtec, and other allergy medicine is dirt cheap, and you can buy them online.

http://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Allerclear-Loratadine-Antihistamine/dp/B004ASER98/

http://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Aller-Tec-Cetirizine-Hydrochloride/dp/B0036DEALS

Except Tylenol PM has Tylenol (acetaminophen), and who the fuck needs that? Just get diphenhydramine -- 600 pills for $8.89 on Amazon. That's less than 2 cents per pill. I take 2 to sleep every night, and 1 bottle like this is about a year's supply.

Hijacking top post to provide Amazon links at 5c/tablet... Upvote to say Fuck You to the Australia Tax

Telfast is Fexofenadine.

Zyrtec is Cetirizine

Claratyne is loratadine

Rhinocort is Budesonide

bruh just buy a 600ct bottle of benadryl it's the same thing

Don't spend that high price on the Kirkland brand either: http://amzn.com/B00G9E1GYA

If you can't get Claritin covered by your insurance, I highly highly suggest Kirkland's generic. A year's supply costs me roughly $10 and it looks like you can even get it on Amazon now if you don't have a Costco membership

Allergies and dust can really mess up the sinuses. Would a Nettie Pot help? Not a doctor so check with yours. Also this type of Nasal Filter may be something to consider.

im allergic to cats and i have a cat. Just take zyrtec every day and you'll be fine. Take two on bad days, one in the morning one at night. Zyrtec is really cheap on amazon. Year supply for $17

You can buy loratadine (generic name for Claritin) on Amazon for a similar price: GoodSense Allergy Relief Loratadine Tablets, 10 mg, 365 Count costs $12.49.

The Vicks assassination team will be visiting you. That Zzzquil racket is their latest big thing.

And yes, more than you will likely ever use for under $10.
http://www.amazon.com/Diphenhydramine-HCI-AntihistamineCompare-Ingredient-Benadryl%C2%AE/dp/B000OTAJTO

>much cheaper than Claratin, Allegra, or other newer types

These can be bought as generics on Amazon for super cheap. This generic Zyrtec is 4 cents a pill.

Generic Allegra is quite a bit more expensive but not too terrible.

Generic Claritin is also super cheap.

The generic Zyrtec and Claritin are actually cheaper than what they sell thh Wal-Finate for (which comes out to a little over 10 cents a pill -- and they last all day instead of 4 hours).

I still have over half of my generic Zyrtec bottle from last year linked above.

For that matter, you can also get chlorpheniramine (what Wal-Finate is) on Amazon for much cheaper too. The Walgreen's website has their Wal-Finate listed at $7 for a 50 count of 4mg tablets. Amazon has $12 for a 1000 count of 4mg tablets.

You're welcome :)

There are many people who have been stuck in your exact situation. The spray could be making your situation worse. I've read of someone using a weaning method to get off of it by using it on a single nostril and at lower doses until they got off.

I was in your exact situation and I would give you a few pieces of advice:

1. See an ENT, if you can. I had gone most my life not knowing that I had broken my nose at a very young age and this was causing 80% of my breathing problems.
   
   
2. Wean off the nose spray.
   
   
3. Take an allergy test and find what you are allergic too. Then find an allergy medication that works for you and start taking it daily a month before and after the seasons that you are positive for. BTW, finding an allergy medication that works for you can be difficult. Many medications won't give you immediate relief, but will work great if you take them for a week or two. I use the Kirkland brand of Zyrtec which comes in a bottle of 365 pills for less than $20. If that doesn't work for you then find another med and see if Kirkland sells it.
   
   I swear there is hope, but know that it will not be immediate and it will take some work getting it all together, but it is SO fucking worth it.

You mean this, for $18.50 shipped with Prime?

Please people, stop buying claritin!

You can get an [entire years worth of pills] (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00HE66ZUC) for the price of only a [month of claritin.] (https://smile.amazon.com/Claritin-24-Hour-Allergy-30-Tablets/dp/B0000AYXBB?th=1) Its the same exact drug

400 tabs of Loratadine (Claritin) for $20 on Amazon!

He's probably going to be want to be on antihistamines daily. I'm allergic to cats and we have 3. It's not impossible. I take cetirizine HCL (Zyrtec or generic) 1x per day and fluticasone (Flonase or generic) 2x per day. If I'm on them, it's like I don't have any symptoms. If I don't, I turn into a mess. But I also have nonallergic rhinitis so I needed these meds since before we even had cats.

When he finds allergy meds that work for him, I recommend getting a prescription and buying them through health insurance through something like a mail order in bulk because the prices tend to be a lot cheaper. Or if you don't have insurance, buy them out of pocket on Amazon in bulk for the best bang for your buck. Generic cetirizine is WAY cheaper on Amazon than it is in store at CVS/Walgreens. That link right there is a year supply of the drug for $22, not too bad. I also really recommend Flonase's Sensimist product - even though it's a little more expensive than regular fluticasone spray, I find it's far less harsh on the nose and it's a bit more effective.

Beyond that, the only thing related to the cats that messes me up is getting dander in my eyes. You just have to be careful when petting them and get in the habit of not touching your eyes. Wash your hands after interacting with them as frequently as possible. Keep some eye drops on hand in case dander does get in the eyes so you can flush them out a bit.

If you do go with loratadine (generic Claritin), do yourself a favor and buy them online or at Costco. So much cheaper than buying Claritin in stores.

Thanks for the insight. I think people are way too picky (ha) with their nose sprays. Costco also has a 300 day supply of fluticasone propionate for $22.99 on amazon here's the link so that's 7.6 cents per day vs. Nasacort at 28.7 cents per day (more than 4x as expensive)

I'm just gonna put this out there for ya:

Its a year supply for $20

Like /u/nuovo_donna mentions, there's not a lot a doctor can do for allergies aside from immunotherapy, aka "allergy shots". Nasacort + Zyrtec is actually quite effective, and fairly inexpensive. HEB has cheap generic Zyrtec (Cetirizine HCL), although you can find it even cheaper on amazon. There is no generic for Nasacort yet. The effectiveness of these drugs is significantly higher if you start them before you react to the pollen. Some doctors will prescribe a short dose of prednisone or a cortisone shot if you are having a serious reaction (to the point your reduced lung function is causing reduced blood oxygen or significantly low spirometry numbers), but those treatments are not something you can or should do every allergy season.

I started shots last year, in terms of cost, here's what was billed to my insurance between the first visit and reaching maintenance dose:

• Initial visit with allergist: $165
  
  
• Skin testing: $450 (pinprick tests on back) + $264 (additional intradermal tests on upper arms)
  
  
• Followup visit to discuss skin test results / treatment plan with allergist: $120
  
  
• Serum formulation (6 5cc vials for buildup + 2 10cc maintenance dose vials, IIRC), lung function tests, and initial cluster injection visit: $1775
  
  
• Followup visit after completing 1:2000 and 1:200 dilution , before starting 1:20 dilution: $120
  
  
• 28 injection visits @ $40/ea: $1120
  
  Total: $4014 -- Note these are the billed costs as reported by my insurance company's website, not the insurance plan discount costs, and I honestly have no idea how providers handle self-pay patients. I did not select my provider based on cost, but rather insurance acceptance and proximity to my workplace (so I could get shots at lunch) -- so you may be able to find lower costs if you shop around.
  
  I am allergic to a boatload of stuff, so I get two shots per visit, one in each arm, due to the sheer number of things I am allergic to. So that means $40 per injection visit instead of $30, and twice the quantity of serum vials.
  
  My insurance covered this except for the $50 copay on each of the 3 doctors visits.

Do you not take allergy medicine for your allergies? Seems pretty straight forward =p.

If you haven't gone that route yet, try these beautiful bastards cheap and amazing, and non-drowsy

Source: I'm allergic to life. I've tried a lot of medicines. I've ever tried allergy shots. Not taking something for your problem is dumb, because if you do take something for it you'll kick yourself for having not just taken one stupid tiny pill and fixed your problems.

Have you looked at investing in these

​

I assume someone with a Costco membership resells it on Amazon for a $1.50 markup then...

​

But holy crap that's cheap compared to the generic brand at any other store.

Amazon sells the same brand as Costco for $15 for a years supply without the need for a membership. You can buy it here. If you have Amazon Prime, you can get it shipped overnight for free.

Here is 1000 50-mg caplets of diphenhydramine for under $20.

Yeah it sucks.

If you have eye issues you can try Alaway (ketotifen fumarate) eye drops. These take about a week to improve symptoms.

Nasal steroids are now available over the counter (in the US) and work wonders for my sinuses during allergy season, they take maybe a couple days to improve symptoms. You can get Nasacort/Flonase in any allergy aisle, but I just picked up this Costco generic bulk pack on Amazon for super cheap.

Antihistamine pills make me so drowsy I can't really function, so I try not to take them. There are a few, mostly herbal, natural antihistamines and other items that help regulate histamine and allergic response, that I am looking into like quercetin, rutin, Vitamin C, and berberine to name a few. Those might be helpful to you. This article is more about histamine intolerance/mast cell disorders, but has some interesting info if you want to check it out.

Well, I haven't been in a year. I think it helped me out quite a bit. They tested me and I found that I had allergies to trees, grasses, mold, pet dander and dust mites. Oh, and I found out I have an anaphylactic allergy to shellfish. I also take 10mg of cetirizine(generic Zyrtec) every night before bed. I can get a 1 year supply on Amazon for around $15.

I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight!

Kirkland brand Allerclear is non-drowsy and you can get it on Amazon.

And here's the Amazon link for generic Benadryl. $17 for 1,000.

Try these. I don’t have it nearly as bad as you but these have helped for during the day. It helps keep crap out and inhaling doesn’t hurt as bad.

These are another option.

The advantage for me was having a runny nose I could pull these out quickly, wipe, and reinsert.

Amazon / Costco is definitely the best. Fred Meyer is great when I'm in another town and need a convenient place to get some.

Well, one box of 10 costs $13.40 at guardian. That's $1.34 per tablet.

In comparison, a bottle of 365 cetirizine tablets costs USD$16 on amazon. Even after compensating for exchange rate, it's $0.07 per tablet.

is this what you are looking for? https://www.amazon.com/First-Defense-Nasal-Screens-7-Sets/dp/B004KQF9QA

I think it's interesting too. I found the registered trademarks for HITMAN and Medal of Honor video games. Seems dumb to not use the ® that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to get. The USPTO's guide on page 15 states that "it is best" to use the ® but that you don't have to.

You definitely don't have to use ® or ™. I think it would annoying in writing if every instance of the brand has an ® or ™. Probably risky to leave out if discussing a competitor's product like generic medicines stating to compare their active ingredients to the brand name.

Get the generic brands. There's 365 pills in this bottle for 13$, and it's the exact same drug as Claritin. There's also Zyrtec for 15$ for 365 pills.

To piggy back on the idea of wearing a face mask, these were also a good tool to have when I was traveling when I was immunocompromised:
https://www.amazon.com/First-Defense-Nasal-Screens-7-Sets/dp/B004KQF9QA (They have different sizes for different sized faces- my husband accidentally bought the larges and they were comically large on my face)

They're more discrete than face masks and it was something to help filter the recirculated air in the plane without feeling so self conscious :)

> No offense, but I think self control is what you should be aiming to fix

That's kinda the goal. Removing one click near instant satisfaction helps with self control...

> A side note, generic Zyrtec is even cheaper at Costco (365, 10mg tabs for $16 vs. 45, 10mg tabs for $20)

Amazon sells the the same kirkland brand bulk medications, which is why I order them there (costco is in a part of town I'd have to go out of the way to drive to).

Well, try it. Buy the generic, diphenhydramine. Get Kirkland. I believe that is the COSTCO brand.

http://www.amazon.com/Diphenhydramine-HCI-AntihistamineCompare-Ingredient-Benadryl%C2%AE/dp/B000OTAJTO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382805793&sr=8-1&keywords=diphenhydramine

You can buy the same ones off of Amazon too.

Major Pharmaceuticals Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4 mg Anti-Allergy Tablets, 1000 Count

Pretty sure that's the link I sent ya. 1000 count is extreme but a 100 count is half the price.

Of course. Generic still has the same active ingredients.

Go with the Kirkland "Claritin" and save lots.

> The other consideration that a lot of Americans don't talk about is that most states have tax in addition to federal tax, plus sales tax and property tax.

Still less than the tax in most EU countries, especially if you include VAT.

> often thousands per year even for things as simple as allergies.

Uh, not for most allergies. For most people, seasonal allergies can be controlled with over-the-counter medicine, like Zyrtec (cetirizine). I can buy a year-long supply of that (365 tablets) for $15.

Other allergies, like most food allergies, don't need constant medication to treat. The cost there is in the emergency drugs, which (hopefully) don't have to be used in most cases because you'd avoid whatever food it is that makes you react.

> I wish I could find it but I've seen a graph a couple times showing US average taxes + OOP healthcare costs. Trust me, you're better off there.

Depends entirely on the person. If you're in decent health and don't have high recurring medical costs (most physically-active younger people don't) then you're probably better off, tax-wise and healthcare-wise, in the US.

I have been using this variety of generic Zyrtec.

cheaper than prescription!

I'm allergic to everything. I have a stockpile of Allegra and Claritin, and I should be getting this (price keeps fluxuating- I actually got it much cheaper) in the next day or so. The pollon and dander from trees, grass, ragweed, flowers, etc. is going to be a killer, especially combined with my asthma.

Loratadine!


Cetrizine!

I got you

You can get 1000 50mg pills from Amazon for 20 bucks

My ENT said I probably had some allergy, but we never tried to figure out what I was allergic to.

After the surgery, he put me on a nasal spray that I used daily. The prescription expired and I looked at what’s in the spray and it turns out it’s basically a combination of Flonase and Claritin. So I have been ordering those from Amazon and taking those daily.

Maybe if you do the same, it might be good for you. I’m not a doctor, so it’s only a suggestion. The two are over the counter, and either I’m used to them or they have no noticeable side effects.

The claritin https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074F18H5N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Flonase https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H40O42I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It’s basically $35 US for 6 months supply.

Regards,

This is the allergy medication I use. It works just as well as name brand Zyrtec for me at a fraction of the price.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G9E1GYA/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1

Posted this the other day. I swear by it.

It's off-brand Zyrtec and it's fucking amazing.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074F145Y1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_olRzDbX6Z3SJG

Not OP, but here's the diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and here's the cetirizine (Zyrtec). Costco has a one year supply of generic Zyrtec for less than 10 bucks when it's on sale, and the Benadryl has always been about 5 bucks for a 600 count bottle.

What works for me is if you are going to bet at 6 or 7 or 8 am, just try to stay awake through that entire day. If you can't do that, then take a nap. Go to sleep at like 11 AM, create an alarm that will wake you 2-3 hours later. Then just stay awake until 9pm by playing a high energy game like counter strike or something. Then take one of these at around 9 PM that night and you should be set.

This is one of those things that, once you realize it, you wonder how brand names can get away with charging so much. Either advertising or brand trust I guess.

I bought a bottle of 1000 50 mg diphenhydramine HCl capsules some time ago from amazon. It cost me $0.40/gram. A three pack of 25 mg benadryl (also diphenhydramine HCl) with 24 pills in each pack costs $10.54/gram. That's 26x more expensive. And there are a lot of other OTC drugs out there with similar discrepancies.

Buy some allergy medicine? I recommend cetirizine hydrochloride, which is Zyrtec, but get the generic from Amazon.

The other two are Benadryl and Claritin, but those seem to cause drowsiness. Try em all, they're pretty cheap.

This is what I use but there are others.

http://www.amazon.com/Allergy-Advanced-Nasal-Filter-Count/dp/B003JBX158

How much did you pay?

Oh, wow. I've never seen generic sleep gels for that cheap. That's about the same that I have paid for generic Benadryl (~$4 for 100 25-mg capsules or tablets, although you can get it cheaper online).

They're also on Amazon for about $15 for a year's supply.

Yes, but these are cheaper.

I have no idea where fez is. I haven't really cared to find out. He and half my former followers betrayed me during the Waralago Doxxing Incident - I see you witnessed that as well. No clue what mobileinvestigator4 is doing here either. He or she is a fucking creepy weirdo and I thought I banned them from CoT too. Not to mention, when I asked them to solicit some game developers to make a Waralago/Church of Trump themed game, they did the exact opposite and scared them shitless with rants and ravings about piss consumption and inflatable Trump dolls instead. Fucking lunatic that one.

The pills fez spoke of were simple allergy pills - bulk, store brand tablets. He told me he had a severe allergy to his parent's dog after he moved back in with them, and I wanted to help him out since he was obviously quite disturbed at the time.

Waralago is being revamped right now. It became too predictable, like every other boring political sub. I'm still not sure where to go with it, to be honest. The Soros/Hillary shit was getting hella repetitive, fez's argyle architecture and bazoon theory rants were fascinating but didn't pull in many views, and the Qanon train is a one-way ticket to reddit bantown so that's a no.

I'm surprised you even remember The Blake Project - it never got more than 5 or 6 views per submission except that time I linked an article about Trump nuking the moon... but now I'm using it to test a bot which uses reddit's API for achievements/rewards. Looking to take it live on WaL and CoT once it's ready.

Look for Maximum Strength Sleep Aid. Or shit, go to Amazon and search for Diphenhydramine 50mg, I saw a jug on there of 1000 for $20. I don't know why anyone would buy that much, but it's on there.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Benadryl-Allergy-Diphenhydramine-Capsules/dp/B001X45QII/

Hardly off label, its what puts the PM in tylenol PM without the nasty acetaminophen, and generic benadryl is 10x cheaper than unisom or anything for the exact same drug.

Its non habit forming, but as sleep aids go its not great. You will get tired and fall asleep, but its not a great sleep.

https://www.amazon.com/Allergy-Advanced-Nasal-Filter-Count/dp/B003JBX158 when outside for long periods + using a neti pot before sleep are life savers.

Both of my pitties suffer from allergies, especially when after they sunbathe. I wipe them down with some pet wipes, but my vet said I could give them OTC allergy meds. I do have Benadryl if needed, but I find that these Chlorpheniramine works better. I order on Amazon or get it at Costco. It's super cheap and I give them a pill twice a day in some PB and they do much better than with Benadryl. My white pitties breaks out in hives too, and he has a tendency to lick his paws to the point that they are raw if his allergies are acting up too badly. This really helps prevent all of that.

Yes I have taken Zyrtec daily for the last 15+ years. Started with actual Zyrtec, then switched to generic Allertec from Costo about 6 years ago and then switched to generic GoodSense about a year ago: https://smile.amazon.com/GoodSense-Allergy-Cetirizine-Tablets-Count/dp/B00G9E1GYA/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=zyrtec&qid=1557496795&s=gateway&sr=8-8&th=1

I have not tried wiping cat down with a damp washcloth. Is this something I should do daily?

Amazon also has it for a reasonable price. $19.75 for 365 pills. That is where I load up for my wife.

Just look for the active ingredient as loratdine you should be able to find it cheap.

GoodSense All Day Allergy which appears to be 10 mg antihistamine

I bought this after realizing that Unisom, other sleep agents, and basically anything over the counter is diphenhydramine. This is by far the cheapest option:

http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Benadryl-Allergy-Diphenhydramine-Capsules/dp/B001X45QII/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452141881&sr=8-2&keywords=diphenhydramine

For those with allergies. Try the Costco (Kirkland) brand of Zyrtec. They sell them on Amazon, which is a great help to those who don't live near a Costco. I did this just recently and picked up two bottles for $44, which has provided me with over 700 pills (24 hour pills no less). Good luck!

Zzzquil is just diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl. You're better off buying a store brand 'Allergy Relief' medicine with bright pink labels. It'll be $5 for 100 25 mg. tablets, vs. $10 for a small bottle or box with far fewer doses.
The internet's best deal is Amazon's! $9.35 for 600 pills. That's a few years worth, for sure.
Can you buy the store brand's sleep medicine that's also diphenhydramine? Of course! But it's usually more expensive, and has a blue label.
Note: The hot pink labels really do seem to be universal in the U.S., you can walk into any drug or grocery store like Target, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Safeway, Giant, Costco, Food Lion, Vons, and the 'Allergy Relief' pills will have a hot pink label.

Seriously though, there's no reason to take Tylenol PM unless you have a cold w/fever and can't sleep.

I been using these for the past couple years (same active ingredient as Zyrtec). I think adding Flonase might be what I need.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G9E1GYA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jQJQCbDCC57MT

Cheap as fuck.

http://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-AllerClear-Loratadine-Antihistamine-300-Count/dp/B002VLZHMM

I take them for sleep, and get them at Amazon, 1000 50mg capsules for $19.

http://www.amazon.com/Good-Sense-Cetirizine-Tablets-Count/dp/B00G9E1GYA

Although I remembered the price wrong, its $16 now. I looked it up and I paid $11 a year ago.

With 365 tablets it is more (much more) than I'll use before it expires (3 year expiration), but (at the time) it was cheaper than any of the other sizes on Amazon or locally.

There are other generics too, Wal-Mart has them and I'm sure CVS/Walgreens does as well. What you're looking for is "Cetirizine hydrochloride" (aka Cetirizine HCL, aka generic Zyrtec) and the regular adult dose is 10mg. Most I've seen come in 10mg, some come in 5mg - which is fine, you'll likely just have to take two.

Would you recommend this intranasal LLLT device?? It's on sale

I'm also a magnet for mosquitoes and itch horribly for an hour or more from each bite. Several years ago my doctor told me that Benadryl will relieve the itch for a couple hours, but Zyrtec lasts for 24 hours. I've taken a Zyrtec a day for several years now and get ALMOST NO REACTION to a mosquito bite. I still use repellent if I go out at night since they still bite, but I don't suffer from each bite anymore.

About 6 months ago I switched from Zyrtec to a much less expensive generic and it works just as well for me.

I'm hoping I can help out a fellow sufferer with this info.

Open offices are terrible, so, just get it over with. Sensible people will hate the open office far more than they hate you for having allergies.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ASER98

^ This might be worth a try. Far cheaper than Claritin or similar drugs. Just beware that it does make some people's heart "race" a bit (it does nothing to me, but my GF can't really take it).

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001X45QII/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

Watch some dumb ass YouTube videos or something to take your mind off shit. It's the frustration from not being able to sleep that's like a cycle, that then prevents you from getting sleep. Otherwise try Sudoku or something to keep your mind occupied.

I just remembered one more if that does not work, which I actually like better:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TM1YIG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's a lot cheaper, and it doesn't have the withdrawal effects.

Amazon link!

I bought this a few weeks ago, and it's the same one as the OP. Works great.

I saw this product on the TV show Shark Tank and many of the Amazon reviews swear that it works great for allergies.

I've never used them myself but if I was in your shoes I'd try these out and see if they work.

I take generic claratin daily when I wake up and a couple hours before bed. Then I use generic flonase as needed when allergies flare up. Neti pot and saline rinse do help sometimes as well, especially in the morning.

The generic flonase was a lifesaver for me, I was constantly irritated no matter what allergy pill I tried (I tried nearly all of them). They all help a bit, but the flonase helps actually stop my acute symptoms of uncontrollable sneezing, and itchy eyes and nose. It also works relatively quickly.

I could really use some supplements and pain relief that my doctor wants me to take. Specifically, the Calcium, the Arthritis Acetaminophen and the Loratadine. I really could use anything off my Needed HBA Items list, but those three I either need to add to my daily regimen per doc request or am flat out of.

I appreciate the help everyone!

I buy these on Amazon. 365 zyrtec for $16.

You can also get 600 pills for $10 on Amazon.
