I want (really need) to get over this and move on with my life. But where do I start? I take the medicine I’ve been prescribed everyday (Montelukast and Cetirizine), but they don’t do anything more for me than a Benadryl will. What’s the first step on the road to recovery?

If your current medication doesn’t work, then keep trying things with your doctor. Don’t give up. Many people have tried several treatments before finding something that helps them. I’ve outlined some treatments on this website and I also cover the most common ones in my book. Even with antihistamines, sometimes you have to try many different kinds to find one that offers some relief (although it may not stop all of your symptoms).
Again, for me, eliminating stuff from my diet and going through a lot of allergy elimination diets was very helpful.
I know it’s hard, but don’t give up. Keep fighting to find something that works for you.
