No antihistamine, presciption or OTC, has even been shown to be more beneficial than good, old Benadryl (or the generics). Only problem is that Benadryl can make you major drowsey.
Decongestants can be habit forming, can exacerbate prostate problems, and can raise blood pressure: avoid them for long-term use.
Some have had good success with Nettle from the health food store. Did wonders for me for about a year, then seemed to do nothing. My brother-in-law was apparently allergic to the nettle; caused him more problems.
If your allergies are pollen related (as mine are), I highly recommend Nasalcrom, an OTC inhalabale histamine blocker. I start using it at the first sign of spring and it works wonders. Generally, I use it for about 60-90 days, and then the heavy pollen season is over and I'm good to go until the next spring. It's also good to use when traveling, starting about a week before you go to a new location (where you're sure to encounter new allergens).
