User Reviews for Zyrtec-D oral

I've been using walgreen's version of Zyrec-D (because of the cost)and when I first took it at night, I could actually breath and lay on my back (I do have an air purifier in the bedroom which helps). That night, I kept waking up. I wondered if it was that. The next day, took it again and for the first time in over 2 months, I didn't need to find a "straight line" to make sure that I was walking in a straight line (even though I knew I was). The best way to describe it was feeling "off" before I took it. Fridays were always the worse days for me. I took it that Friday, and I didn't feel "off" at all and could walk around the store with no problem. The biggest "test" for me was the next day, when I went for a walk on the beach (which I haven't been able to do for over 2 months). I went walking on the beach WITH NO PROBLEM. I only take it during the day time, not the night. I don't feel tired with it, I actually feel more awake while before I got on it I felt tired because of the allergies (which only took 5 years of living where I am at to develop). I only got a small box, not knowing if would work for me or not. As soon as this box is used up, I will get a bigger box. Again, I only take it during the day and seem to be able to do what I love to do for exercise: walk on the beach!Read More Read Less

Finally! After years of being sick all Spring and Fall, I found something that works. I don't even feel like I have allergies now. Have tried all kinds of allergy meds adn this is the only thing that works. Thank goodness!

Had alot of dizziness after using the product regularlly and trouble sleeping. Had so much dizziness it caused me to be nausiated. Thought I had an inner ear infection until I read this page. The benefits are great but side effect almost worse??

this treatment is awsome. I love drugs.

this treatment is awsome. I love drugs.

Use once a dy.Feel sometimes nervous.When not taken allergies are stronger then ever before,nose throat etc.Taken for more then 5 yrs.

My congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and headaches are gone. BUT now I have a HUGE very itchy hive on my arm AND horrible acid reflux! The medicine made me moody and irritable. Also, do not take at night if you want to sleep at all.

symptoms cleared up in 2 days

This medication has worked wonders for my seasonal allergies.

While it relieve my seasonal allergy symptoms (and I did not take it every day), I also experienced dry mouth, and extreme drowsiness. In addition, I also like another user started to notice blood in my urine. The first time it was minor the following time it was as described "hematuria". I had to go the doctor to have it checked out but it seems that it only appears after I take Zyrtec-D -- look for other alternative to this drug if those are the side effects.

Zyrtec D worked great for clearing up my allergy symptoms. I've been taking for about three months and have recently started having symptoms from it. I've started experiencing heart palpitations, tightness in my chest and anxiety shortly after the medicine wears off. When I take the medicine I feel better again, but then when it wears off I start experiencing the symptoms. I'm only 31 and have never been diagnosed with heart problems so I started doing research on the web to see if these were symptoms of the medication, and sure enough they are! I have also found that others are experiencing similar symptoms. Now I'm trying to get off this junk for good. They should not sell this medicine over the counter, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.Read More Read Less

I have year-round,tried Zyrtec-D which helps with my breathing, but have trouble sleeping, experience nervousness, and irregular heartbeat. Will consult with my primary care, since this is over the counter drug now; in the meantime, I'll go back to regular Zyrtec 10mg, which doesn't work as well, but I can actually sleep and feel normal.

Did anyone know that the pseudoephedrine in zyrtec-d would show up as meth..I didnt until a random drug test needless to say I lost my job of 6years.The pharmacy and drug and poison told my boss,the union and myself that it was the zyrtec-d that made me test positive for meth.but I got fired anyway.I havent taken it since(3years)and have been miserable.It worked so well for me,but also caused me to loose my carreer.And due to everyone drug testing I am afraid to take it.Has anyone else been thru this.Zyrtec-d is the only drug I found that helped with no side effects.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed Zyrtec for my seasonal allergies. I took it as needed- it worked okay but after time I started developing hives. Went back to my doctor for the hives, thinking i was allergic to something else (detergent, chemicals at work etc..) so I was prescribed a larger doseage of zyrtec. The hives cleared up and then would come back 12 hours later with a vengance. I had hives all up and down my arms and the most excruciating (and largest ones) on my feet. It was as if I had walked through an acid bath. This went on for years until I fianlly kept a journal of everything I put in my system and every thing I basically touched for two weeks, noting when the hives appeared. It was always 8-15 hours after I took zyrtec. On days I didn't take it, I didn't get hives. I have finally gone to an allergy specialist and found out that I am allergic to some ingredient in antihistimines. Go figure, the cure for hives also gives me them. Zytrec was effective on my nasal and headache issues but gave me evil hives! I will never take it again! Read More Read Less

It cleared up the nose but it also dried out my mouth. After just using it once a day for two days I couldn't sleep well for another 2 days. I won't take this stuff again unless I have a severe cold. And then maybe not because of the bad side effects.

Using this medication has changed my quality of life. I suffer from severe headaches almost daily from congestion. Taking 1 to 2 tablets a day keeps my head clear and my pain gone.

Zyrtec-d helped me breath and clear my ear. I had severe sinucitis. The side effecs weren't too bad. I had drowsiness and a touch of dizziness with very little tightening of the chest. The tightness was only on the first night. I think this med is good to take for any sinus problems or allergies.

I've been taking Zyrtec for Chronic Sinusitis for 1year.In my most severe cases of sinus inflamation,it only took 15 minutes to relieve my symptoms.I am most grateful for Zyrtec-D.

Just tried the Zyrtec-D, after using Zyrtec for 10 years. This product definitely worked to manage my allergy symptoms and chronic cough better than plain Zyrtec, but definitely with a side effect-- difficulty sleeping at night- just a few hours a night, unless I use sleeping aid. Drawback definitely outweigh benefit- I can function ok with some congestion--not so without sleep. Going back to plain Zyrtec, which works great for my allergies-- can add daytime decongestent as needed.
