User Reviews for cetirizine oral

I really did not notice any improvement after using it for 2 months. I tried over the counter medication that worked better.

I've tried everything but my Dr.gave me this medicine,my hives went away. I don't know what causes it to come, but without this medicine it keeps coming back.

I got poison ivy! The doc gave me this for the itching I wouldn't have made it without this medicine! I was the best

Had a bad reaction to this medication. My body was trembling along with high temperature, profusely hot sweats and lethargic. Never felt so poorly. Slept for most of the day as felt that weak.

Tired all day, no energy feeling depressed. I never even noticed that my medical insurance company changed my reactine prescription to cetirizine until I looked at my bottle. I thought I was coming down with something and that is why I was feeling so bad. I am now in the process of getting my family doctor to write me up another prescription that says reactine no substitutes. I will be glad when I am back on track with my old medication and feeling good again. If your insurance does not cover your previous medication ask your doctor to put no substitutes also.Read More Read Less

i have generalised itchiness and if scratched i get hives.i was put on cetrizine and the itching stopped.My problem is i remain drowsy and require nine to ten hours of sleep and if I stop the drug the itchiness returns.I have been on the drug for about seven years now and still have to use.I am worried about the long term effects of cetrizine but unfortunately I have no alternative

I've been using this drug for over a decade. I only take 1/2 dose since it was making my eyes dry. I notice allergy symptoms (itchy eyes, runny nose and sneezing) if I haven't taken it the night before. Only allergy medicine that works for me so far.

Works for me after 10 days,taking 1 daily,but is not 100 % effective.

I have allergies every spring as I am irritated by pollen. I usually get the normal runny nose and constant sneezing and I have tried allergy medicines like Benadryl and Claritin, but they never worked for me. I tried the store brand Zyrtec for the first time this year and I've been doing great! Also, if I miss a dose I can tell because I feel miserable and I don't have any noticeable side effects. I would definitely recommend this.

This drug cures hayfever, but make me extremely aggressive, extreme mood swings, paranoia, irrational behavior and changes my personality, I did not make the correlation at first, thinking it was seasonal, but definitely this drug, it should not be an otc medication and these symptoms have been quite severe at times. It does cure the hayfever in 15 minutes, which will last about 24-36 hours, but in that time, I am a timebomb or sleeping.

I have been on this for over 7 years and I have been so tired sleeping 10-12 hours a night. I quit taking and I itch so bad I don't know what to do!!

I didn't know this was causing my extreme body itching until I read some reviews on it. When I stop taking it, I itching from head to toe. I helps with my allergy symptoms for the most part but I constantly feel tired and weak and sometimes dizzy. I will discontinue this medicine, do a detox,use benadryl for side effects relief and find another treatment for my allergies.

I ran out of my pills and haven't had the chance to swing by the pharmacy to pick up more. It's been about a week now without the pill and I have can't stop itching. This is a withdraw side effect and it is the WORST!

This drug made me EXTREMELY tired, lathargic and depressed. I was taking it once a day at night and I was sleeping 12 hours minimum and couldn't function during the day. Not worth the benefits.

this drug was prescribed to my then 4 year old she has not been on this drug for a full 6 months, the sleepless still continues she is still consistently bloated.. especially in face it seems like the 40 pound child looks 90+ pounds.. did not help or relive symptoms she had such an itch while on this medicine that she had sores everywhere.. i do not recommend this drug to anyone especially little children.

It has been a life saver for me. I have not been ill with chronic sinisitis and related allergies which then went to my chest, since taking it from September 2012.

Very effective for seasonal allergies due to inside and outside allergens. Non-drowsy.
