I have now been on Xyzal or the generic for 2 years to alleviate allergy and hives. Works like a dream (still get mild heat induced hives but not as severe and short lived) and I have not experienced any negative side effects. Makes me a little drowsy but I take it before bed and am still able to get up early and go work out without any residual sleepiness.

Medication knocked me out the first night I took it. After that, it did not affect my sleep nor my allergies! Still had extremely stuffy nose and itchy eyes after 2 weeks of use.

I had the flu and bronchitis, my doctor prescribed this, I thought it was an antibiotic. The second day I had a severe allergic reaction, difficult breathing, thatching, rashes, flushing, and, I had to drive home, very scary. Now I find out this drug is for allergies. I probably should not have been prescribed this drug.

I have been taking this for about three weeks. At first it made me very drowsy but now it does not. This drug allowed my sinuses to clear after a year of dizziness. It is a miracle drug. Hate to say it butthanks, big pharma.

Levocetirizine has been a great help with my Allergies. I have allergies all year round. Found out I am highly allergic to Mold and mold is everywhere you go. I am constantly tired though and have just read that Allergic Rhinitis causes that. I always look tired too. I can't stand that part. However, I can breathe and am totally off the nose drop addiction. This drug works for me and I have suffered all year for about 5 years. OTC meds never helped me.

I developed severe sleep disturbances where I began loudly talking in my sleep and thrashed around in bed. My spouse left our bedroom after the 3rd night in order to get some rest.

I started taking this medication three weeks ago and had some relief although not as much as I had desired. Spoke with my doctor who increased the dosage to twice a day and after a week I am starting to see more results. The side effect I notice the most is the drowsiness. I just make sure to take the medication after I arrive at work as to not complicate my morning commute. The dry mouth for me is just starting in the last day or so but is not overwhelming and we all need to drink more water anyway, right? All in all one of the best allergy medications I have used, I believe the increased dosing is actually mostly because of extremely poor air quality in my location right now.Read More Read Less

The best medication I have found to treat hives. I began taking 10mg daily, then 5, then 5 every day, and now as needed. I have almost complete control over a very bad condition.
