In the past I have taken Zyrtec, Claritin, and Xyzal....
Zyrtec seems to work best for me. You
can get both
Zyrtec and Claritin over the counter,
and both come in a generic form (I take the generic form of Zyrtec). This helped my allergies tremendously, I would recommend taking one daily while your symptoms are in full-force, and then backing off to just whenever it's needed when your symptoms settle down.
