Give Loratadine a shot (brand name is Claritin, but it's available
cheaper as a generic). I was on Allegra for years, switch to Loratadine
when it went OTC. It seems to work a bit better for me.

Not much pollen up there, I guess.

My experience is the same as yours. When my allergies are really bad I
go flying.
