Very good for my hive allergy symptoms. Almost works for the whole 24 hours... very nice. Yeah, it might make me hungrier... so I eat another apple - ha ha, it's all about your food choices. I'm glad this exists. I'm on allergy shots so it's doesn't always clear 100% of my misery but it's close enough. Way better than other medicines - I've tried so many.

I had hallucinations for 5 days and ended up in hospital and became so anxious going to sleep. I now need to take Zoloft for the anxiety. I also reported this to the FDA.

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.

I have used a lot of different allergy medicines (for dust/mold/pollen) and I have never gotten a side-effect as bad I got from this. I switched from Zyrtec to this because of a discount that was given; I have been on it for close to 10 months and then I started losing my short-term memory, lose creativity, and it even started to make me slur words. I don't blame it entirely on this medicine, it MAY have been the combination of this and Astepro; but in my experience this definitely causes drowsiness. I can't completely say to stay away from it just be sure to monitor it right away and after about 5 months. I switched to Allegra 180mg. Hope this helps.

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.

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!

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.
