If you're taking Claritin, not Claritin-D, you can take basic allergy medications like Benadryl. The side effects include drowsyness, etc. If you're looking for an alternative, Zyrtec has come out on the market, and it has 12- and 24-hour varieties. I've heard that taking allergy pills (Claritin, Zyrtec, etc...) are more effective when taken twice daily in people that metabolize the medication more quickly. It's something to try out. Get the Claritin 12-Hour and try that for awhile to see if it works better for you. Otherwise, consider seeing your physician about Allegra, an allergy medication that is still available via prescription or talk to him about using an intranasal administered antihistamine together with your current Claritin.
