Pollen, pollen everywhere,yet not a pill to work.

[Snow Shadow 41]

I am on 4 psudafeds, 8-12 ibuprofens, and 3 zyrtecs. My nose still feels stuffed up and my throat is now scratched up. Am I alone in this situation?

[Aureity 3,055]

Never heard of anyone who needed THAT much medication to keep the pollen away.

So yes. From what I've seen, you're alone in this situation

[Nah 3,182]

Feel the same, but due to a late frost, it killed most of it, I use generic allergy meds for it. Hooray for frost, a little bit.

And you aren't doing your liver any favors, taking that much Ibuprofen at once.

^{I've been having a runny nose a bit, but other then that, it's been ok for me. Though you're not alone when it comes to my dad. The pollen was so bad one year he just gave up on medication and bought filter mask for whenever he went outside.}

[Kyreth 194]

I've got the usual runny nose, aside from that my allergies haven't really kicked in yet.

*looks out the window*

 

Nope, I don't think you can get pollen in a snowstorm lol

 

Also might wanna scale back on the drugs, high doses + mixing of drugs is not the healthiest thing to say the least

I wake up almost everyday with this really annoying pain in my eye balls, Tylenol, Motrin, Asprin, are all yet to work.

That seems a tad excessive,

my dad (I remember) was allergic to pollen and he put this weird white cream under his nose. ~

[CapnKrunk 307]

[TwiForLife 87]

Well they said that this year is the worst year for pollen in a *sneezes*...decade...

You people are complaining about your stuffy noses and sneezing and coughing, while when I go outside, my eyes start hurting and scratching. I needed prescription eyedrops, with burn and don't even help that much. Sometimes I just want to tear my eyes out because it's bugging me so much.

[Demi 545]

Wow, that's... a lot of peelz.

 

So far I'm only getting hit a little bit, sometimes my throat gets scratchy with a cough but nothing too bad. Been sneezing a fair bit more than usual too.

Why don't you try a generic allergy medication? I hear Allegra is awesome. And if you have nasal congestion, then get Allegra-D.

 

I don't know if I have a cold or if it's allergies, but my sinuses are killing me. Yesterday I went to CVS and bought their strongest nasal decongestant, but I had to get it from the pharmacy and sign something that made me promise not to give the pills to anyone else. It's a pseudoephedrine HCl and it works wonders, even though the wonders only last for 4-5 hours before I feel congested again. But whatever, if it's a cold then I'll get better, and if it's allergies then I'll still live.
