I'm taking Nyquil and Benadryl out the wazoo. My tear ducts refuse to dry up. The area behind my eyes, nose, ears, and throat are on fire. I plan to see the Doc as soon as he can get me in, calling for an apt in the AM. My daughter, who DOES have genuine allergies has gotten no relief from zyrtec. My husband who has full blown allergies has had great success/relief from Stinging Nettle (herbal). Haven't tried Singulair -- the commercials and "might be" side-effects put me off. The Doc I'm trying to get in to see is a full MD plus has a huge knowledge of alternative therapy, herbal stuff, etc. If I can see through my puffy eyes to get there.....

It's allergy season, unless you're like me and have chronic allergies. So, from one who knows, you *can* overdose on antihistimines and decongests. In fact, I did it last spring. Blew my system on OTC benedryl (too many) with chlortrimeton, since nothing was helping and I was sneezing nonstop. Literally. And what happens when you OD on this stuff? Your bod gets rid of it, you feel lousy for a few days, and you relent and see the doc for prescription meds. Zyrtec in the morning and Singulair at night are controlling my histimines pretty nicely.
