   Eye Allergy Pain And Allergy Shots (Allergies board)

31st May 2006
The antihistimines you took don't work for a lot of people. You need them to prescribe Allegra. It is non-drowsy but works much, much better. Zyrtec works the best, but can make you drowsy, so with your job, I doubt they'll prescribe it. Make it clear that the loratidine and lorastine doesn't work for you. Allegra is the most expensive as far as the military is concerned, so they are sometimes stingy about prescribing it. Be persistant.

My eye allergy does respond to my Zyrtec, but not completely. I still need the eyedrop. The shots have helped too. Mine used to be so bad, a regular doctor thought I had bacterial conjunctivitis.

Which eyedrops have you tried? My doctor prescribed Patanol which I have to get in town and use my co-pay for. But it is worth it. It works the best and never irritates. it is technically not an antihistimine, but a mast cell inhibitor which is the precurser to histimine. So it stops the allergic reaction before it can start.
