Now that it's fall, I am getting like really serious allergies. I use two Rx medicines for it (one for day, another for evening use), but when I get attacks of sneezing in the morning, neither of them work for at least 4 hrs, then they work for another 3 hrs, then stop. I am getting really embarrassed and annoyed that my allergy fits interrupt school, assemblies, hanging out, and even sleeping. I am kept awake by my sneezing for up to 5 hours past the time I go to bed. I get up very early, so this is a big problem. I get up at least 10 times per class at school, which lasts 1 hour a class. Blowing and rubbing my nose makes it red, raw and painful. Any helo please?

You may need your prescriptions adjusted. Prescription allergy medication is as good as it gets. There's no use in recommending any over-the-counter meds to you as they're quite inferior. Set up an appointment with your doctor. Give your doctor all the information you have given here and you'll probably get something stronger or better. Seeing a doctor is your best bet! Good luck! :)
