When I was first given Zyrtec it was a few years back and at the time I was also on xanax for anxiety so I thought the extra anxiety was just where my xanax wasn't working; well about a week ago I started taking zyrtec again after being off for 2 years. Here's where it gets interesting; my doctor had taken me off xanax the same day I was taken off the zyrtec. So I started again last week a ... Show Full Comment

Here's where it gets interesting; my doctor had taken me off xanax the same day I was taken off the zyrtec. So I started again last week and today I woke up with a massive panic attack after feeling depressed for the last few days. Praying this stops. I don't want to be back on xanax again.

Upon running out of the medication after long term use, I have been experiencing SEVERE PAINFUL BURNING ITCHING ALL OVER MY BODY. I am planning to titrate down over the next few weeks. Upon researching it, I have found TONS of similar complaints. WHY IS THIS WITHDRAWAL SIDE EFFECT NOT INCLUDED ON THE LABEL OR ACCOMPANYING INFORMATION SHEET??????

My boyfriend and I have been taking Zyrtec daily for three years. For me, it began with seasonal spring allergies which proved to be an effective antihistamine. Before I knew it, I was experiencing uncomfortable allergies throughout the year and I pivoted to daily consumption. Every year, we purchase seventeen 45 count bottles of Zyrtec Allergy Relief Tablets from Amazon, Costco, and local pharmacies at approximately $17-$20 each per year adding up to $340 for two people. Approximately 24 hours after ingesting the pill, we experience identical reactions such as a severe full-body itch and hives. I have been weaning myself off the medication due to fears that my reactions will evolve into more extreme symptoms such as thyroid or liver conditions as cited in other Consumer Affairs complaints. It is my 10th day off of Zyrtec and I am still experiencing unrelenting pain.

I have allergies all year round (trees, flowers and grass pollens, weeds, ragweed dust, pet dander, perfumes, and colognes). My allergies are much worse during the Spring, Summer and early Fall. I love Zyrtec. The minute I take it -- it starts working. It stops the sneezing, coughing, sniffling, stuffy nose, and itching. I don't experience any side effects either which is the best thing.

I love Zyrtec. The minute I take it -- it starts working. It stops the sneezing, coughing, sniffling, stuffy nose, and itching. I don't experience any side effects either which is the best thing. I tried both Allegra and Claritin and experienced side effects from both. I have taken Zyrtec for years and never once experienced any side effects.

For BP my doctor added losartan 25mg because 5mg norvasc was not enough. I had allergic reaction from losartan 25 mg i.e swelling of lips. I took the generic zyrtec and felt good. Next day I took norvasc 5mg along with Zyrtec and my pressure remained under control. Two days went well with this combination but today is the third day and I was unable to sleep and feeling restless, though feeling s ... Show Full Comment
