I have never had headaches like this in my entire life. My worst hangover over the last 2 decades have nothing on the last 3 days of hell.

I’ve done Sudafed, mucinex, water water water, hot shower, hot compress, Tylenol, aleve, ibuprofen.

This living organism cannot handle this amount of pain.

I’m gonna go throw up now

Claritin has been the only over-the-counter allergy medication that has consistently worked for me. It can be expensive, depending on where one buys it, though. The knock-offs do NOT work (at least not for me).

Don’t miss a day once you start taking it. It’s not an instant relief med, but has to build in your system for about 24 hours. In my experience, for example, missing Tuesday meant a headache on Wednesday.

Zyrtec and Allegra, I believe, provide same day relief. But I still prefer Claritin myself, for various reasons.
