User Reviews for Cetirizine

Zyrtec (cetirizine): It works great for the symptoms of my allergies and hay fever. It does make me extremely sleepy though. But, I suppose that is better then having a pounding headache or a sneezing/coughing attack.

Zyrtec (cetirizine): I have had cholinergic urticaria for a few years now. I break out into hives when I start exerting myself physically or it's hot. After taking Zyrtec 1/2 an hour before my workout, I didn't experience that irritating itchy feeling all over nor did I get hives. My skin got red but no bumps. I don't care as long as I don't get the irritation which works to create an aversion to exercise. I took a 5 mg dosage. After my workout, I went to sleep at 7 p.m., woke up for an hour and then went to bed at 9 p.m. only to sleep the whole following day. I was unusually fatigued and sleepy. I'm going to try 2.5 mg today to see if that helps.

Zyrtec (cetirizine): The doctor gave me Zyrtec for a skin problem that I've had for a coule of years. If I take Zyrtec I don't have any symptoms. It works great!!!

Zyrtec (cetirizine): I used this and got itchy all over. I developed red blotches all over my body and it looked like hives. When I stop taking it I get all itchy.

Zyrtec (cetirizine): I've had hives 4 times now. The last time they lasted 1 entire year. Nothing worked. My allergist said that the doctors had failed miserably at keeping me comfortable during my ordeal. I tried Zertec this time. My hives are totally gone. My skin crawls and tingles when it is about time for another dose, but the new dose takes care of it. No complaints at all. I do have crazy dreams, but that is a small price to pay in exchange for no itching, etc.

Zyrtec (cetirizine): so far itching is a lot less. Just 1 day on Zyrtec. We will see. I hope it helps me. I have hives all over my face.

Zyrtec (cetirizine): I love this product. I've been taking the generic version lately and have had to take two with no symptom relief (still sneezing violently and itchy watery eyes). I recommend Zyrtec as the first option.

cetirizine: Every night for the past 3-4 months I have been breaking out in hives due to severe allergic reactions to dust. Since day 1 of taking Cetirizine (which is the generic form of Zyrtec) I have finally found relief. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Zyrtec (cetirizine): I suffer from acute symptoms of psoriasis and Keibners phenomenon with severe itching. I also have asthma, coughing constantly. I'm newly diagnosed with psoriasis so I couldn't figure out what was going on with the severe itching and what was triggering my rashes. After seeing 5 other doctors, I went to an allergist and he suggested to take Zyrtec. I didn't think it would help but it really does. It doesn't cause me drowsiness but it wears off after 12 hrs and my itching from psoriasis comes back. My rheumatologist suggested to take one in the morning and one at night. It helps with the severe itching. It stops my coughing as well.

Zyrtec (cetirizine): Used Zyrtec for years and it keeps the hives/welts at bay. Works great.

cetirizine: I've been taking the generic for 3 months. Glad to see other posters talking about the groggyness and sedated feeling the next day after taking it at night. Just a few breakouts that are gone by morning along with my energy. The one thing is I take it at night and can't sleep for about 2-4 hours after taking it.

cetirizine: I have been using Zyrtec for more than 15 years. It perfectly helped me get rid of my chronic idiopathic urticaria. When I don't take the pill, the next day, itching starts. Also, I can't sleep well in case I forget to take my pill at night.

cetirizine: I got this medicine from my doctor who gave me it for my skin and since using it I've had very bad migraines. I've never had a migraine but since then its a throbbing bad pain.
