Claritin all the way. Pricey, but worth it - only one tablet a day pretty much covers it. I take the Claritin-D 12 hour extended release tablets, containing 5 mg loratadine and 120mg pseudoephedrine sulfate.
Price is about $15-20 (depending if anyone has a good sale) for a month's supply. You can get it in smaller amounts too (and maybe larger), but 30 tabs at a time is the most economical I've seen.
Chlorenephrine maleate is tolerable, but still had an occasional tendency to put me to sleep. Benadryl is right out - diphenhydramine is the same ingredient in OTC sleep meds, it's just at half dosage in Benadryl. If I wanted to take sleep meds, I'd buy sleep meds.
