Let me 'splain.
When I was 12, 13, and just starting to have really bad allergies, my friend's mom -- a nurse -- totally didn't give me and my mom free samples of a nifty allergy medicine called Seldane.
It was awesome. It worked beautifully. Stopped my itchy throat (the one allergy symptom I just can't tolerate) in its tracks.
There was only one problem.
Some people didn't read the drug interaction warnings, took Seldane and...something, and died.
No more Seldane.
I have been making do with 4 hour Chlor-Trimeton (only 4 hour; the other dosages just don't work for me), which is difficult to find and only sporadically available, since.
Then, last time I was at Costco (to buy this; yum) I saw that Zyrtec is now available over the counter. After some investigating, it seems that the double pack at Costco is more or less what Walmart charges for one pack.
But $25 is a lot to spend on something that might make me loopy like Claritin or not work at all like the Allegra I totally didn't borrow from Patrick once.
Well, Ralphs had a packet of five.
Oh. My. God.
Unless I wake up with a green forehead or some other ridiculous side effect...I finally have my Seldane back!
(Those of you who don't have allergies will not understand my elation. Those that do...will.)

Wish you had mentioned that you wanted to TRY zyrtec. I live on that stuff!!!!! I could have shared at least one so you didnt have to wait sooooooooo long!
Heh. To be honest, it wasn't like it was something I was pining away for, but just like I did when Claritin went over the counter, I thought I'd try it to see if it worked any better than Chlor-Trimeton.
Imagine my delight when it did. :-)
