My personal favourite is Aerius, but its expensive so Costco has their own brand and is super cheap and the exact same ingredients as Aerius and works great for a much cheaper price!

I have also used Reactine or benedryl in a pinch, usually save the benedryl for when I need help sleeping as it knocks me right out.

I live off of Allegra D, I also use an antihistamine spray for my nose. Occasionally I have to have a steroid shot when I get really bad (like hives bad). My allergies have always been off the scale.

My SO deals with seasonal allergies. When no pills would help, or any combinations of pills - we decided him to Flonase and that works better than expected.

From being absolutely? miserable, no matter what he took, to a normal condition, none or very light symptoms.

I take regular Claritin daily. Most of the others make me feel weird.

My mom took Flonase forever and then it stopped working. Her doctor told her to take a break from it because your body gets used to it and it stops working. Not sure how long she has to stop taking it.
