Re: claritin vs allegra vs zyrtec

I have chronic inflamed turbinates and the OTC stuff didn't cut it. I am now taking Singulair (a.m.) and Claritin (p.m.) and that has made a significant difference in my nasal stuffiness. I tried Zyrtec and Allegra but Claritin worked the best in conjunction with Singulair.

Made it through Sleep Study!!!

Hello All, I'm a newbie to the forum and to the sleep apnea thing altogether. I've dealt with the inability to fall asleep during reasonable times of night for years. I was not uncommon for me to drift to sleep around 2 or 3am but that doesn't work with having to report to work before 7:00 a.m. I be...
