"Cetirizine doesn't do anything for my many airborne allergies, but I discovered that it is amazing for food allergies that cause you to itch. I love chocolate. No... seriously... it is one of my greatest pleasures in life. But eating chocolate makes me itch. I rub my ankles raw at night in my sleep, my scalp flakes, it feels like I have ants crawling between my hairs. I also am very allergic to citric acid, which is in most preserved foods. When I consume citric acid, my ears run and itch. When I was a child, I had ear infection after ear infection because my favorite food was oranges, and my folks didn't know it was because of allergies. Then I discovered Zyrtec. The generics don't work quite as well for me, but that's just me. Generics never work the same for me as the original. They may be better or they may be worse, but they aren't the same. Anyway, I have been chopping my pills in half and taking 5 mg of Zyrtec for twenty years now, and it is still working."
