Comment:
I was on allergy shots for over 10 years. Ultimately these became a nuisance, were becoming expensive, and also stopped being effective. My doctor put me on Xyzal and I have been nothing but pleased by the results. With my insurance, it costs me around $10 a month and works like a charm. I havent taken it in around 4 days because I ran out, and I can already feel miserable. These are definitely a ... Show Full Comment

Comment:
Xyzal was prescribed to relieve problems due to a sinus infection. I rated the medication as very effective. I was forced to take it during the day- The first 2 nights after taking Xyzal, I laid awake until the early morning hours.

I have allergies to dust, mold, trees, grass, pollens, etc. If it's environmental, I'm probably allergic to it. I've been using Xyzal (and a generic brand) for over 2 years and will NOT miss a day of it for the difference it has made in my life. I went from getting bronchitis 3 - 5 times a year, to only getting sick once or twice, tops. What a life saver!

Comment:
I was prescribed this medication because of inching in my ears. After the first day I took XYZAL I woke up very dizzy. I did not initially connect the dizziness to the drug. The following day I woke up and could hardly walk because I was so dizzy I was bouncing off the walls. I stop taking the drug and after two more days the dizziness subsided.

Comment:
i normally take zyrtec, choramine maleate with fair relief of allergies that pertain to stuffy nose, sinus problems overall. Physician said i could also do flonase along with the zyrtec asked if there was something better and was perscribe this. Don't see a whole lot of difference but will try it for a little while longer as it is more expensive
