Have used Cetirizine for a while, after discovering that another allergy medicine was giving my son nightmares, and my nephew was having arrhythmia with the same allergy medicine. Cetirizine was ok for awhile, not great, but the only one I could use, until recently. My son began to have a terrible time sleeping, having intense nightmares every night for about a week. I stopped giving the Cetirizine to him, and the nightmares stopped. Looked up the side effects on WebMD, and it lists both of the above side effects as "chronic trouble sleeping," and "Abnormal Heart Rhythm."Read More Read Less
