User Reviews for Xyzal oral

Few years ago I got hives out of nowhere. It was uncomfortable not to mention itchy. After taking Xyzal, the hives went away and I stop taking it after few months of no sign of hives. Since then hives had not come back. However, lately I've gotten some itchiness around feet and hand. I read that Xyzal is similar to Zyrtec. Since I'm not interested in going to see a doctor, I'll give Zyrtec a try to see how it goes. With that said, I was very satisfied with Xyzal and highly recommend it to people who have hives.Read More Read Less

I took one dose of Xyzal (generic form) at bedtime, woke up depressed the next morning, feeling my life was not worth living. This is NOT me, I am usually happy and optimistic. The depression lasted for 6 more days, even though I never took another dose of Xyzal. Scared me. Will never take it again.

the medication is effective but you still feel drug even after sleep.A heaviness of extremities, tired sluggish feeling more than 5 to 6 hours sleep.

I have chronic idiopathic urticaria and at first this was the only medication that was effective at controlling my itching and hives. My body has become resistant to it over time, and I had to add 5mg cetrizine to the regimen. I take Xyzal and cetrizine once a day.

Allergist prescribed this to me for my general allergies and because I would get hives from my cat. It worked perfectly, I could pick my cat up without hives! However, within 2 months of starting the medication I gained 5-6 pounds that I could not lose even with exercise.

i useed it for allergic synitis....... effective for 24 hours

I prescribed Xyzal for allergies. i have a runny nose all the time, frequent sinus headaches, severe allergies. Xyzal did give me relief with nose and allergy, but the side effects are more than I can take. I took the med at night before bed. Still in the morning I was so sleepy, dizziness when getting up, weak legs....had to push through the day. Made me feel terrible fatique. Need less to say....no more. I cannot afford to feel terrible with job, family so many responsibilities. This is just my story. I do realize it works very well for others, but if anyone takes Xyzal and have side effects like I had, you will think twice about taking it again.Read More Read Less

This little pill packs a powerful punch at congestion and sinus pressure!!!

I'm taking this medication for allergy symptoms that include runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, sore throat, cough, etc. I've noticed only a minimal improvement. Additionally it makes it difficult to wake up in the morning. In the medications defense, I was not told that the benefits are best achieved over time; therefore, since I was not noticing an improvement I stopped taking it after a week. Some medications' benefits are best achieved over time such as Allegra D, which was helping some with the allergies. In the past I used Alegra D with very positive results but it was not helping this " go- around". So I don't know of ther is a super allergen or if my sensitivity has increased.Read More Read Less

I COULD HAVE SAID AL OF THE ABOVE ON THE REASON THE ALLERGIST GAVE MY FAMILY ZYXAL! THE EFFECTIVENESS WAS VERY GOOD , ESP. SINCE WE HAVE WORKED OUR WAY THRU ALL THE OTHER ANTIHISTIMINES. VERY SATISFACED EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THE INSURANCE AMERIGROUP DIDNT WANT TO PAY FOR IT AND WONT GIVE IT TO US AGAIN. MY DAUGHTER HAD A REACTION ANS HER TOUNGE GOT SWOLLEN AND SHE GOT HIVES, I TRIED ALL THE OTHER ANTIHISTIMINES AND NONE OF THEM WORKED, WE WERE FORCED TO USE CORTISONE, WHICH CAUSES MORE PROBLEMS WITH HER DIABETES. IT IS A SHAME OUR FDA AND GOVERNMENT WILL NOT STAND UP TO THE INSURANCE COMPANYS SO THE SPECIALIST CAN PRACTICE MEDICINE. WE NEED TO SPEAK OUT TO OUR REPRESENTIVES STOP THIS, IF THEY REALLY OUR HELPING US GET WELL OR ARE THEY JUST WORKING FOR THE DRUG COMPANYS..AND TO HELL WITH US.Read More Read Less

took this some years ago but my doctor told me it was now OTC i can not find it at pharmaricies is it still prescription? I would love to still be able to take it for my allergies

id this applicable to less than 2 years

this medicine keep me awake a little bit longer at night not sure if it good or bad.

I suffer from severe Post Nasal Drip where I clear my throat 24/7 - 365 days/yr. Simply doesn't help my problem after 60 day trial. Still looking.

I developed idiopathic hives for the first time in my life. After lasting for ~2 months it seemed like it was going away, and suddenly become really, really bad with itchy, large, elevated spots all over my body. Xzyal helped instantly. I take 1/2 a tablet in the evening and I occasionally have a few spots here ad there but, overall, I'm very happy since I have no side effects whatsoever.

after trying every allergy otc, xyzal has brought me the best relief from runny nose, sinus pressure, tearing eyes.
