Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Urticaria: I have suffered from hives for almost a year now. I have tried every antihistamine on the market and was almost about to give up ever finding something that could help relieve the hives. Finally my doctor put me on Xyzal and it is the only antihistamine that has ever worked for me. I've tried some other medicines and none of them seem to do anything. Since I have been on the Xyzal I have hardly had any outbreaks and if I do I hardly ever suffer from severe itching and discomfort. I've been taking it everyday now for almost 4 months with no serious side effects. I would recommend that anyone suffering from chronic urticaria try Xyzal.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Hay Fever: I love it. My doctor advised me, it's best to take right before bed. I get extremely tired 10 to 15 minutes after I take Xzyal. I also have to sleep for more than 8 hours, if I don't sleep more than 8 hours I feel drowsy all day and feel the need to take a nap.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Hay Fever: I picked this drug up from a pharmacy in Europe and LOVED IT ! Of course here (in the USA) U need a Rx but, its well worth it! Love it! Better than Allegra, Claritin or anything else I've tried so far! And my allergies on a scale of 1 -10 are a 12~

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Hay Fever: This is the best med for Allergies ever! It will cause some sleepiness, so I wait until I'm at work, take the XYZAL, and drink one cup of coffee. Talk to your allergist about this stuff!

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Hay Fever: It is a very positive medication for severe allergies. I have tried everything OTC and prescription. This a first that allows me to sleep, without getting up 5 or 6 times a night because of my nose.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Urticaria: I have only been taking xyzal for a few days, but it seems to be working for my hives. I will post again in a month to let you know if it continues to help.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Urticaria: I suffered for a year with Uticaria. I tried steriods and several other allergy medications. To no avail. Finally after seeing many Doctors, one gave me Xyzal to try. The first day I took it I had almost immeadiate relief. My hives, swelling of joints and what I called "attacks" (could not stop sneezing, feeling my throat close and face start to swell up) all but disappeared. I have been taking Xyzal daily for almost 2 years and have experienced no side effects whatsoever. It gave me my life back.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Hay Fever: I have had chronic allergies and nothing has helped. It would be normal for me to go through a box of kleenex in a week. The major frustration with my allergies was my itchy feet and ear canals. Although xyzal is very expensive (my insurance doesn't cover it) it is worth not having the itchy feet and ears that no one thought about.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Hay Fever: I think this drug is probably the best thing for people with severe allergies. I tried EVERYTHING before XYZAL and I finally stumbled upon this through my doctor and I am so happy I did. Now I can actually wake up and go through the day without sneezing, coughing, or getting a head cold.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Hay Fever: I have been taking Xyzal for nearly 1 year now and it truly has been my life saver. I suffer from extreme seasonal allergies and indoor allergies with all the symptoms; itchy red eyes, itchy ears and feet, sneezing 5 times an hour, congested sinuses, headaches, congestion, hives, and frequent bloody noses. I tried over-the-counter and prescription drugs for nearly 10 years with no success. Xyzal has honestly relieved all my symptoms. I take my dose before bed because it does make me sleepy. I have no problems making it through my work day. I do have a little bit of a dry throat side effect, but that is nothing compared to the misery I was in before.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Allergies: I tried this drug but it made me very tired. I was so tired and slept for like 3 days until I realized the drug was doing it. So I can't take it or I'll sleep for 20 hours at a time.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Allergies: I have severe allergies indoor and out. I cough constantly due to post nasal drip and irritated throat. I took Xyzal and within hours the coughing stopped! I ran out of pills and took Allegra. The coughing came back the same day. The coughing doesn't go down well with everyone being fearful of the Swine Flu! I am so thankful to have found Xyzal.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Urticaria: I was prescribed Xyzal for itchiness after trying other anti-itch remedies. It works for me.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Urticaria: I have had Severe Chronic Hives for a little over a year. So many Allergists/Immunologists gave me everything including XYZAL (but once a day combined with other medicines) did very little to help. A Dermatologist said to stop all other and take XYZAL in morning and night and now my Hives are 95% cleared. I'm am at a point were I feel the hives are manageable and I can work without the heavy AntiHistimines that make me so Groggy.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Hay Fever: Incredible results. I have recently developed horrible fall allergies with the whole - sneezing, runny/stuff nose, watery/itchy eyes, cough, fatigue and everything else. I would need a new tissue every 5 minutes. I took one Xyzal at 5 PM on Tuesday and it cleared every single thing up. It didn't begin to fade until 12 AM on Wednesday. I absolutely love this little pill.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Urticaria: I have had chronic hives for a year and a half. It's awful. I have been taking Xyzal for almost a year now. Xyzal works to eliminate the itching and rashes, but it makes me very tired. If I take it during the day I feel tired. If I take it before bed I have difficulty waking up and getting started. It also makes me feel down, just not myself. I have not found anything better to help with my rash outbreaks so I do continue to use it.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Allergies: I have a rare skin rash that appears only during summer months. It is an immune system response to heat. Xyzal 10 mg reduces the rash by about 20%, but after about a month, an immunosupressive reaction occurred. I started getting large, painful pimples in weird places like forearm, hand, and neck. Had a similar reaction to Flonase a few years ago. Immune system can't fight the pimples, so they take over. Disappointing because this is the first oral drug to have an effect on the rash. Hay fever gone too.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Allergies: This medicine has helped me through allergy seasons, hives, and hay fever. Most of my family uses it, too. My dad is 56 and he loves it. He goes on and on about how "medicine is so advanced now-a-days" and how it was "back in his day". He says he has never seen anything like it and swears by it. I do, too. It's great!

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Allergies: Works very well to help with my allergies. I recommend use at night; as it did tend to make me very tired.

Xyzal (levocetirizine) for Urticaria: I used XYZAL, and it made my eyes burn, gave me a migrane, and I was dizzy all the time. This drug did not work for me.
