After walking around for two months in an allergy-induced daze, I finally wised up and saw my doctor yesterday for my allergies. I can't believe how much better I feel after taking Allegra and Flonase this morning. I guess I didn't know how bad I felt until I started feeling better.

I discovered the joys of Claritin D and Wal Mart brand nasal spray. Use them together and you will breathe your ass off, but your heart will race like a mother****er.

I seriously thought I might have a heart attack and die combining those two together.

I've been thinking about trying a cocktail of Claritin D, Wal Mart brand nasal spray, some weed, and viagra. I'm not sure exactly what it would do, but I bet it would make me horny and sinus free all at once. Not a bad combination if you ask me.













It's been a long time. Long time.

Might want to get your blood pressure checked. I have high BP, and have to be extra careful when taking allergy medication. I was initially prescribed the Allegra--Flonase combo, and it worked like clockwork. However, I didn't want to continue using the steroid-based Flonase, so stopped taking it. My problems eventually returned, in a every bad way.

I then went to a drug store to pick up some Claritin D. While it worked to pefection the one time I took it, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling as if I'd just returned from working out at the gym, i.e., heart was racing big time. That is the worse feeling in the world, to be physically tired like all get out but too alert due to the medication.

I'm now using Allegra and some sinus spray that does not have the steriods. It works pretty decently, but no where near as effective as the Allegra-Flonase combination.

DM:

Mine was 120/75, and I'm generally pretty healthy. But I do hear what you are saying. Last night I took my first dose of Allerga around 6, and had a little trouble sleeping. I wasn't jittery, I just felt good. My doctor said to take it in the morning and the Flonase in the evening. Claritin did absolutely nothing for me.

It's just so nice to be able to breathe again and not have my ears plugged up.

I used to have allergy/sneezing attacks every morning of everyday of my life. Then, 4 years ago I started taking the Allegra and Nasenex combo. I think I've had one allergy attack in 4 years, AND it just so happened, I had run out of both drugs the week before and forgot to refill them. I am a 110% believer!!

Classic!

yeah, i was getting killed by allergies this year. Took me 3 miserable weeks of almost being debilitated before i went to the doctor. I had been on Claritin D and it wasn't doing a thing. He gave me a steriod allergy shot and put me on Allegra D and the very next day I felt 1000 times better.

Its been 2 weeks since the visit and I haven't had a single problem with my allergies since. Its amazing!! Only wish I had gone sooner. But I too sometimes notice my heart racing, and I think it is the combo of medicine/steriod shot I guess.

Usually it doesn't last very long, but always bothers me a bit when I all of a sudden feel my heart beating out of my chest lol. My BP was just like yours at the doctors, 120/70 or something similar....so doubt its blood pressure related.

The Flonase would make my nose bleed instantly.
I stopped using it and have used strictly Allegra for about 5 & 1/2 years and it works great!!

Sounds like a commercial for Cialis and the four hour erection!

horny and breathing is always a good thing.

lol

The first few hits I took of Flonase were strong, but I got used to it fairly quickly. You usually won't get the shakes after taking Allegra if you eat afterwards.

Do y'all take Allegra and Flonase together in the morning and then again at night?

Astellin in the mornings, astellin and zyrtec at night. Works wonders.

Take Allegra once a day as prescribed since it will become effective throughout the day. Then sometime before bed use the nasal spray.

My warning was for those who may suffer from high blood pressure. They should check with their doctor before using any allergy meds.

i thought allegra was twice a day? at least mine is....and since I really need mine during the day and if I take it too close to bed it'll keep me up, I take one when I get up around 7am, then take another around 3pm...

My doctor gave me a steroid injection to open up the nasal passage.

After about 3 days, I was up to 100%. After months of breathing difficulty last year, I found breathing heaven. The best part was it lasted the rest of the year and I have had no other problems in the year since I got the injection.

Also, no having to take prescriptions every day or taking the OTC stuff which never seemed to work with the exception of the nasal sprays.

Best $20 for an office visit that I ever spent.

Good luck.

I, too love the Flonase/Allegra combo.

You Claritin D people better be careful with the racing heart. A few years ago I had to spend the night in the hospital, have echocardiograms, stress tests, etc. b/c of all the heart problems I was having.
It ended up all being caused by Claritin D - which I had used for years!

My allergist says he can't believe that the FDA approved it to be over the counter because so many people have problems with it.

Flonase ain't got nothing on the Afrin 12 hour spray. You can actually hear that stuff working.
