So when allergies are really bad, I take it morning and night. And the stuff is cheap at Costco (or Amazon).
OTOH, strong coffee is hardly a bad thing, from my perspective at least. Mine is Peet's Major Dickason's this morning.

I took loratadine long enough to get a bit of an immunity. I take certirzine (zyrtec) now. But fall allergies are BRUTAL to me no matter what I take daily. I just have to power through a few weeks of it and it will go away. But until then, I have to pop a benadryl or two whenever the symptoms are just too overwhelming.
