For Urticaria "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 for Urticaria "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 for Allergic Rhinitis "I went off of it because I had the flu and needed to take cold medicine, and it interacted. I have itched for days. Miserable itching, my entire body is raw from scratching, and I felt like I was losing my mind. I realized today the itching is from not taking Zyrtec. Please don’t start this if you haven’t already. It’s not worth it."

Cetirizine for Allergic Rhinitis "I had been perplexed how I put on 12 pounds so fast within two months. I started thinking about what I have been doing differently. It was I started taking Zyrtec. I stopped taking it 5 days ago and have lost 4 pounds. My appetite is controlled and my energy level is starting to increase. I am having extensive itching on my back and head. I am never taking Zyrtec again. I will research homeopathic options. Beware!"
