Allergies anyone?

For some reason my allergies really hit me hard today. I'm seeing an allergist next week but need something to hold me over. I feel like my head's going to pop off. I took a decongestant but now I'm passing out at work. A lot of the OTCs give me a headache. Any advice would be great!

I'm not sure how helpful this is, but I've had really awful allergies this season as well.  I never responded well to Clartin, but the generic OTC Loratadine has worked for me (and I'm thankful I took it this morning after I saw my car covered in pollen!).  I usually get the CVS or Walgreen's brand and they work well. 

Good luck getting through the day!

I have the worst allergies also!  I've been taking zyrtec in the morning, claritin eye drops and then take a benedryl at night.  That seems to keep mine under control.
Hope you find some relief!

mine are really bad too and i've tried everything. the only thing that has helped me is zyrtec-d (the one that they keep behind the pharmacy counter) i haven't noticed the drowsiness but even if i did it would be worth it not to feel like crap anymore!

I know I am coming in late to this discussion, but along with any medications you may take, you should also try the Neti Pot.  It helps soothe nasal passages.  I have one, and it works great!  you can buy one at any CVS oar any other drug store.
