Claritin is not my any of my safe-lists, but both Benedryl and Zyrtec are. I have terrible allergies too - GL!

My doctor said you can take regular Claritin. Also Sudafed, Benadryl and Zyrtec.

I have taken Claritin D 24 for years and Singular. My allergies are so bad that I can't go with out it, so my Dr has kept me on it.

I was told regular claritin is ok.. however Claritin is one of those drugs that takes time to work, you have to build it up in your system. I think Benadryl is ok, I would take that since it works immediatly.

I take Claritin D everyday because like OP I have to or else I don't breathe. And oxygen is vital Smile

If it gets really bad, I take a benadryl at night. DS #! turned out ok, LOL.

Hey, claritin does better for outdoor allergies, Zyrtec does better for indoor and outdoor allergies. Zyrtec is perfectly safe. I take it every single day. Just the plain old ordinary Zyrtec.

Regular Sudafed is fine. And it worked for me.

My OB said Claritin and Zyrtec are both fine, but she prefers Zyrtec (just b/c she thinks it works better, not b/c it's safer.) I take Zyrtec everyday and so far everything has been fine.

My babies for now...

Please, Lord, let this be our keeper.
