When is this allergy madness going to end?!?!

Thanks PP, for the info on singular. My son has severe seasonal allergies. he is miserable. We've been giving him children's allegra as zyrtec and clairitin cause him to have behavior changes(not good!).
Singular has always scared me as I;ve heard it can cause behavior changes too sometimes.(and horrible ones at that).
I know you are an adult, does anyone have a child who takes this drug who has shown sensitivity to medications in the past? Do the tolerate it well?

I'm jealous. I've heard Singulair can really help. I asked my DD's allergist for it and he said no, not the right thing for her (can't remember why). Wants her to stay on zyrtex at night and flovent inhaler when coughing. The flovent is helping but not putting an end to it.

I hate this time of year I heard getting the HEPA air filter might help. I always knew I had allergies but never to what usually stops by June and I talked to a co-worker who has allergies to the first round of whatever goes on , but then i noticed Im a tree person and also saw Maple high on the bad days. So guess what I bought a TH w/ a huge maple tree on my lot. Yay. Not 5min and I run back inside from my lil backyard. Argh..Im taking equate Cetrirzine hydrochloride . im broke and gave up on claritin that made me itchy and another one makes me dry mouth.

Im counting down the days

DS is on singulair all year long every night but his nose is always always stuffy, even with it.
We don't notice any side effects with him, but like is said he is still so stuffy. And if we miss one dose he gets a nose bleed the next day

My son uses two different prescription eye drops, a prescription steroid nasal spray, an asthma inhaler, and allegra. They help us manage his symptoms, but that's about it.

My husband uses the same line up, and still has bad days.

My DS uses prescription eye drops, steroid nasal spray, inhaled steroid (high dose), and swallows an inhaled steroid (for a GI allergic condition). He also has an IQ Air HEPA filter in his room for at night. Still, we have had to use Albuterol b/c of wheezing this season. UGH!!! Can't wait for it to end!!!

XYZAL has worked wonders this allergy season for my daughter. Normally she is continually sneezing and her nose is running. She has almost no signs of allergies right now.
