I've been taking Loratadine daily for the last few months but it doesn't seem to be making the slightest bit of difference at the moment. I searched online and saw a couple of news articles about a 'pollen bomb' that was due to hit the UK today and over the next week. Anyone else been hit by it?

I used to take Cetirizine and that made me drowsy, though I think it might have been slightly more effective against the hayfever.

I used to take it in my teens and wasn't a big fan of it, but bought some last week and it's made a huge difference. I had a really dry feeling in my mouth the first time I used it, but it's improved with daily use.
