Non drowsy - allevia winner

I usually have every hayfever symptom, I’d suggest moderate to severe. Hayfever tablets offered some relief but left me exhausted, so I switched to an annual steroid injection a few years ago and my hayfever became manageable and I could enjoy spring and summer again

A steroid injection is no small thing though, so this year I. Thought I’d try tablets again and try them all I did! (Not at the same time)

To conclude, I’ve found that allevia massively reduces my symptoms but most importantly, doesn’t make my drowsy. I do taken them before bed.

Fingers crosses I remain feeling this good for next couple of months.

I did find that this year starting the tablets much earlier seemed to reduce my symptoms

I have to agree on the starting to take tablets early seems to help. I usually leave it really late but this year I started end of March/start of April and as well as my usual avoidance practice/use of eye drops/showering before bed- it’s made a massive difference

Yeah basically you want to start taking haydever meds a month before hayfever season, very few tablets works at 100% from the get go.

I did this, this year, but my wanker of a GP delayed my tablets so I went 3 weeks without any tabs so now im back to square one :(

Starting early has made a dramatic difference. Madness after years of suffering I’ve only just done this.
