I have been using nose drops for many years because of my sinus problems. My nose stopped up every night when I went to bed. I use Zyrtec now and have not had to use the nose drops in more than a month. I can breath all day without problem. I take it at night and it works great. I love it.

I started using this because for some reason I have developed new sensitivities to our cats. Have always had season allergies but have taken Claritin. Dr. said try zyrtec for this. This med was awful to me. To begin with I was not sure it was the meds because of just becoming so sensitive to new things.

I started using this because for some reason I have developed new sensitivities to our cats. Have always had season allergies but have taken Claritin. Dr. said try zyrtec for this. This med was awful to me. To begin with I was not sure it was the meds because of just becoming so sensitive to new things. But while on this medication I started having chest pains, my breathing became more difficult. Not like asthmatic, I could just tell a difference, dizzy, nauseated. Very mild to start. Thought it was related to my newly acquired allergies. Oh yeh, for some reason my voice kept getting more hoarse and deeper. At some times I really had to push myself to get sound to come out. At the 1 week point of being on this med, it hit me hard. about 30 to 45 min after I took it my chest started cramping bad. It kept getting worse and worse, It got harder to breath. dizzy, every so often I would get a warm flush feeling. Got so bad I went to E.R. everything came back fine. Around the 24 hour point, time for it to wear off, my chest started easing up, no more warm flushes, not dizzy. And within 24 hours of stopping taking zyrtec and taking Claritin in it's place, I started coughing up all kinds of mess and my breathing started getting better. purchasing Zyrtec was the worse thing that ever happened to me.

The drug seems too weak to combat my hayfever symptoms (itchy eyes). Piriton does a better job on this but causes more drowsiness.

There are very few allergy medications I can take, but I have no problems whatsoever with Zyrtec. It helps me a lot on a daily basis. It doesn't take care of my allergies 100% on my very worst days, but it makes a huge difference in my everyday allergy problems, and I love it!

My 4 year old has suddenly starting having mouth ulcers. I recently went from 1/2 tsp to a full tsp and wondered if that had anything to do with it. It could be totally unrelated; I was just thinking of recent changes. Anyone have this problem?
