    I got an generic loratadine like Japher suggested. Thirty pills for under $8. Haven't tried it yet as these last couple have been moderate allergy days.

      Generic loratadine sells for less than $.04 each at sams. You got robbed.

      It's not a "traditional" antihistamine like the kind you spritz up your nose, you need to take it ahead of time. Although it may be anecdotal (and I couldnt find any quick data to support this view) many people (including me) find that the effects improve with constant use until they reach a plateau of effectiveness (OTOH that typeof effect is consistent with this drugs mechanism of action ie a competitive H1 receptor antagonist)

        yeah, I have to take it daily for it to really "work", though I do notice the effects just taking it as needed. It's just not as potent if taken that way

            As for the cost, I live in a smallish tourist town on the Oregon Coast 60 miles from anywhere. They tend to charge a premium for pretty much everything.

            I think I'll suffer a bit if I have to rather than take a med when it isn't absolutely needed. Whenever I go inland from the coast I really need something so according to your instructions I'll start taking it the day before I go, that should do the trick, and thanks.

                    You obviously haven't seen some of the "local honey".

                              Barnabas, I'm going out and getting me some O that.

                              Sloww, yes I've heard of that. It gets you used to the pollen, but doesn't work for grass allergies which is what I have. Thanks though...

                                It still tastes good.
