[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 417029, member: 1233"] Zyrtec knocks MANY people out. I find it FAR more sedating than benadryl. Claritin doesn't do much for me and the kids/husband have to take it for at least 3 weeks before they get any benefits that are noticable. I just saw that Allegra is now OTC and it is very effective. If we could afford it, I would have us all on that (ins won't pay for allergy medications except claritin and zyrtec here). One of my friends buys locally grown honey. She has severe allergies and eats a teaspoon of RAW, locally grown honey and it has helped her more than any medicine. The times she has moved to different areas she had problems until she found a local beekeeper who sold honey. While most honey in stores is pasteurized, this somehow makes it less effective for allergies. Raw honey should never be given to infants or kids under about 12 (according to our allergist), it is quite safe for adults except for those with very compromised imune systems. The honey works by helping your immune system get used to the local pollens, etc... that the bees eat or come into contact with. [/QUOTE]
