"One of my favorite oral antihistamines, I've been switching between a few for a while once I build up a tolerance for one and have to use a different one. Overall effective but I wish I could only take it instead of finding out it doesn't work and have to sit in misery for 24 hours until I can take a different one."

"My veterinarian advised me to give my cat half a pill. It seems to help her runny nose and sneezing. The only issue I have using the dissolve tabs is that they tend to fall apart when using a pill splitter. Also, I find that these blister packs are incredibly difficult to open. Not only are they child-proof, they're adult-proof!"

"I’ve been using Zyrtec every day for the past 6 years. I used to live in a different place that had a lot of pollen and dust in the air. After moving to a better breathing location, I decided to stop taking Zyrtec. It has been well so far. If you have allergies, I recommend it, but I wasn’t expecting such a bad withdrawal because my whole body is itching like crazy. The most random thing is I can be itching, for example, in my right arm, and out of nowhere, it stops, and then I start itching on my left leg. It's like the itching moves across the whole body. Hopefully, it will stop soon. But yeah, 6 to 7 years taking Zyrtec and never had a problem. The withdrawal is messing me up, but I guess it's normal after your body gets used to something."
