I found the side effects of OTC Claritin to be pretty intolerable (which is supposed to be relatively side effect free - I think maybe I get it worse since my body weight is low - I usually get most of the side effects of medicines), so when I finally decided to seek relief from an actual doctor last year he prescribed me Allegra (well, I got the generic kind at least). I find it to be pretty wonderful - clears up all the allergy symptoms with no side effects that I notice - no dry mouth, dry nose, jitters, elevated pulse, sleepiness or any of the stuff I'd get with pseudefed, benedryl, claritin etc.
