Just an FYI in case anyone is desperate but Superdrug sell Allevia for £10'something buy one get one 1/4 price
I got some last weekend from Amazon at £4 a pack. Feeling absolutely splendid at the moment after taking 2 of these a day and also 2 piriteze a day as well, all at different times. The most respite I’ve had in years, especially after such a rough weekend last weekend. anxious_ant said:
To the OP, sorry for thread hijack but posting here as there are lots of helpful replies.
Still on cetirizine which gets me through the day. I take this in the morning and it takes about 30 mins or so for it to kick in.
However the blocked nose during night time is keeping me awake.
I wake up feeling tired and also feeling a bit dazed. Not sure if it’s lack of proper sleep or effect of taking cetirizine daily?
I sometimes have a beer or two in the evening, is this a bad idea?
Thinking of trying fexofanadine but not sure if it will have worse side effects for me.
My hay fever is definitely worse the day after drinking - even just 1 beer with dinner.Still on cetirizine which gets me through the day. I take this in the morning and it takes about 30 mins or so for it to kick in.

Try Becodefence nasal spray before going to bed and a few times during the day. It coats your nostrils with a gel and works wonders for me when I feel symtpoms coming on.
Also, Fexonedine was a life saver for me. I'd tried every other prescription and non-prescription pill under the sun and still found myself having to lock myself in a dark room most days throughout June. Now I use Fexofenedine hay fever is nothing more that a slight annoyance for me most year.
I relented and phoned the doctors today to try and get something stronger. I already pop citirizine like sweets and they hardly work now. Bought some Allevia (Fexofenadine) and they seem better but when out and about, only lasts about an hour. I have the beconase spray which also helps but isn't a fix. The docs couldn't give me much other than which I have. Said I cycle and they suggested a mask. In this heat I'd die if I did.
As for the bloating, lots of this stuff is lactose based and I'm lactose intolerant. So whereas before I may get away with dairy now and again, during hayfever season I can forget it.

I’ve been taking fexofenadine for many years (maybe more than 20) since it first came out. It’s excellent but I still find I get itchy eyes so use optichrom drops twice a day and sometimes beconase on bad days.
I’m a massive fan of fexofenadine - it was the only thing that managed to help.
I did have kenalog one year (before fexofenadine was available) which was like switching a light off - amazing but apparently not very good in the long term.

k Hayfever.Thankfully I don't suffer (I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy) but my youngest has just started with it. Time to try and see what cure works best for him.
I've never noticed so much pollen around. I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to keeping my car clean and this year it's been constantly covered in a layer of the stuff within hours of cleaning it.

Anyone getting a wet cough with this hay fever season?
My 2yo and I have had the same cough for weeks. Seems to be worse early morning late evening and very productive.
None of the other symptoms you’d get with a chest infection or covid etc and hasn’t affected my breathing in the gym either.
literally seems to tie in with my hay fever starting.

I was up until Tues/Weds when the Allevia kicked in for me. Cough was particularly bad in the morning.My 2yo and I have had the same cough for weeks. Seems to be worse early morning late evening and very productive.
