Does anyone know of an allergy med that doesn't have an antihistamine?


I have seasonal allergies and want to treat them with an OTC medication. My problem is that medicines often have the opposite effects on me and anti-histamines knock me out. I've been taking benedryl at night and that helps me sleep, but I'm miserable during the day. When it's really bad I've taken Nyquil a couple of times, but that just leaves me light-headed. Any suggestions?

Singulair is a prescription leukotriene inhibitor that has been recently used for the treatment of seasonal allergies.

As per OTC choices, you may want to try a daily decongestant, or nasal saline spray if you have an adverse effect to antihistamines.
