My oldest son has terrible allergies and took one of the pills the other night and said he seemed better during the following day. It made him sleepy, too, though......and he's 6'2" and weighs 225 lbs. So we'll try 1/2 pill each tonight and see how that works.

Thanks for all the input, ya'll. We'll figure out this allergy stuff yet!

Like I said earlier, the Zyrtec made me so groggy in the morning I couldn't get my mind working for several hours. I switched to Claritin during the day since it made me hyper and I actually noticed it worked better on my allergies than Zyrtec! It completely dried my nose out and opened it up. I think each person reacts differently to each drug. Has anyone tried Allegra?

I agree.....it's just like anything - MS meds included - everyone reacts differently to different medicines. Nothing's going to work well across the board for everyone.

I tried 1/2 pill last night and I'm definitely not as groggy this morning.
