I have some of the worst allergies. Mildew, pollen, dust, you name it, I'm probably allergic to it. Without medication, my nose is almost always itchy, stuffy, or runny, and my eyes usually red and itchy. I do take my fair share of OTC remedies (Zyrtec in particular) which sometimes works, but I'm always up for trying new things like homeopathic remedies. So this Zicam seemed to fit the bill.

With my first bottle, I actually began to notice a reduction in stuffyness and itchiness after about a week. When the bottle went dry, I got a large one at Costco, and switched to the lower dosage it recommends once effective. That was a mistake. It seemed to suddenly stop working with the new bottle, evern after another week. Since thn, I've stopped using it all together. I guess I either became resistant to it, or perhaps my allergies just got worse lately and it's not strong enough for me. Either way, it's worth a try to use it and see if it works for you, as it did for me initially, before it stopped.
