5. It works well for some.

Way back I took it as we were going through the drugs looking for something that would help. It was the pills for me. I agree with Warpy, I have given myself allergy shots and other shots over the years and it is entirely different than having someone else do it. Hurts less for some reason. Don't let that be a major influencing factor until you have tried it.

I hated the drug, it was very hard on me. We moved on after about a year of it. It did seem to help a little but my reaction to it was enough to make that not enough to stay on it. However, there are people who have no trouble and do very very well with it.
