I was once told by a nurse that antihistamines and decongestants work against eachother, to some degree, which explained why those supposed all-in-one allergy medications did nothing for me but make me tired. She recommended I use Tavist Sinus (which was different from Tavist-D in that is was ONLY the decongestant), and that was the first thing that ever seemed to work on my allergies. The best part is, because it's a decongestant, it works terrifically on reducing sinus pressure, because the whole point is to encourage everything to drain out.
Can't find Tavist Sinus these day, but basically anything with pseudo-ephedrine in it will do the trick. Yeah, the stuff they now make you ask the pharmacist to get. My attitude towards allergy medicine is if you don't have to go on a government list to get it, it isn't good enough.
