oh, ps, I just saw the posts about allergy meds making people cranky, and we've had that too for me and ds: can't take zyrtec or the other major one, claritin for more than a couple days without starting to tear people's heads off or break down crying. Oh and digestive issues to boot.

Seriously they should put that on the label.

anyway you do have to fiddle with what works for each person/ how much. we usually go with partial doses around here. example: one whole allegra adult pill for me still makes me have tummy aches, one 1/2 pill I am good, allergies are pretty well under control as well.

also, I and ds are getting allergy shots to help longer term, and I do see some actual improvement, for both of us.
