I take Allegra for full body itching and it helps pretty well.

What type of allergy medication are you referring to? Is it an allergic reaction or seasonal type allergy?
I have seasonal allergies and I use Zyrtec 24 hour but I also use Singulair which is prescribed and that really helps my allergy symptoms more than anything.
For allergic reactions I have taken Benadryl. It helps, but I need the non-drowsy formula or I pass out rather quickly after taking it. The store brand versions work just as good as the name brand for me.

I have used Reactine for years, it's the only thing that works for me!
