I used to have problems from early March until late summer every year. Worst for me is grass and tree pollens, but fun thing.. I used to live in Texas and was allergic to mesquite (loads of fun).

Several years ago, my doctor gave me two week trials of Allegra, Claritin and Zyrtec (before any of them had over the counter versions). He told me one would do me better than the others. I did two weeks on one, then a week off, then the second, etc. It was the Zyrtec that did the trick.

Then instead of taking it just during allergy season he had me take it all year for about 2 years. During allergy seasons he had me add a Chlortrimitron each day. I went off them at least 3 or 4 years ago and haven't had a problem since.
