User Reviews for cetirizine oral

Made me extremely tired. It has been twelve hours and I'm still groggy after sleeping all night. Slower than usual with my movements and thinking. I like to go, and this really has slowed me down. I used a Neti pot last night and it helped tremendously opening up my nasal passages. Think I will discontinue this medicine, because I don't like the way it makes me feel. I'm active and vibrant, and this has me slow and sluggish. The itching has me worried mention by others, because I've had hives in the past and hate itching of any kind. Read More Read Less

avoid this medication it is extremely dangerous when trying to get off this drug. withdrawal symptoms start from day 2 of not taking this drug. you will itch the worst u have ever itched in life, im bruised from head to toe because of it, you also get dizziness fatigue and apparently can last for months im on day 5 citirizine free and cannot cope. avoid this drug at all. costs

I was prescribed this medication by my dermatologist. It has reduced my hives and itching very fast. It does make me a little drowsy, but not having hives and itching anymore outweighs the drowsiness.

i started getting hives over am year ago. Ever since I've been taking one tablet a day. I simply cannot live without it. It can turn out to be so bad that i start having severe difficulty in breathing if i don't take the pill. The long use of the drug have given me some serious side effects. I've been having severe depression, extremely low sexual libido , irritation and the med has made me a different person i don't wanna be. Even it effects my marriage life so badly. The moment i try stopping taking the pill, my body switches back to normal self. I am sick of what i go through. I read on the internet that 1% of women can have such reactions . Can someone help me please .Read More Read Less

NOT STRONG ENOUGH,STILL RUNNY NOSE

does not really help to a large degree

it works.takes about 10 min.but amazing

no drowsiness

I was given this to help with inflammation in my nose and help with my headaches.

I am older. I moved to an area with trees everywhere, city nicknamed "Arbor City." Suddenly nose went wild, sneezing terribly. Realized it was allergy to tree pollen. Started to take loratadine, after a while I had to double the dose to even make it work. Ceritizine went to over the counter drug status. Started using it. Find it better then previous med, still having occasional sneezing breakthrough.

It was pescribe to my 5 year old son and every since he has been taking the medicine sleep is a problem for him. Normally he goes to bed around 8:30, after a few days of taking this med and reading up on side effects he stay up til 12:30 or 1am. Will discontinue and find something else.

still have flem in throat, can not bring it up or down

I started taking this med a few days ago for seasonal allergies. I previously took Singular, but the cost was outrageous and my MD prescribed Cetirizine to replace Singular. I take it at night so don't notice any of the drowziness mentioned by other reviewers. So far I have had no side effects and this med seems to be relieving allergy symptoms just fine for me.

I have been taking this medicine for 2 weeks now and have noticed a significant difference in my symptoms. I am more tired durring the day than I use to be. I usually take it at 9pm, but last night I took it at 1am. I woke up dizzy and felt a little confused. I took it again tonight at 9pm. We'll see what happens in the morning.

If I take my pill every morning, I will not become covered with hives. After the first few weeks of drowsiness and weird itchy soles of my feet, the side effects disappeared. I know if I have forgotten to take my pill by late afternoon- I will get edgy and easily irritated, and soon start to feel the onset of pre-hives...generalized tingling and skin twitchiness. I am currently undergoing treatment for acquired hypothyroidism, of which chronic hives are a sign of autoimmune Hashimoto's. I'm hoping that the hives will cease once my meds are fully adjusted.

medicine has to many side affects!!!!! Should not be fda approved!!!!!

prescribed for my 2 yr old. he was not just drowsy he was totally not himself!! dr assured me he would adjust. After 3 days discontinued use and just had to deal with bad runny nose. use caution

This med does nothing for my 6 year old.Doctor said give it time well it don't work all he does is sleep all the time.Been sent home from school because all he does is sleep. Some of the side effects was tummy pain well it just added to it.He already has tummy pain from other medical problems.Why do they add to it.
