An allergy medicine that works for someone may not work for you. They are all different and you have to see which works best for you. We're a family of 5 and only two of us take the same medications. I have horrible seasonal allergies and basically allergic to outside. I have been on Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra, you name it. I've had success with xyzal. My allergist recommends saline nasal spray. Nothing medicated! If you have been outside, take a shower before bed to get the allergins off of you.
