Are you taking the mucinex with a full glass of water and then keeping up with fluids? You need fluids to thin the mucus just as much as the meds.

Are you buying the allergy med + decongestant or just the allergy med? Claritin D makes me feel like I'm sleepy and about to have a heart attack, but the plain 24 hour claritin works well for me. Plus it's cheaper and you don't have to get it from the pharmacist. You could also try phenylephrine, but that might make you sleepy too. I would try the claritin 24 hour without decongestant if that is not what you've already tried.
Eta: if you are taking mucinex, you need to drink a TON of water, or you will get dehydrated and it won't work!
