User Reviews for Zyrtec-D oral

I took this for allergies including sneezing, itchy/watery eyes, runny nose and sometimes wheezing. At first it seemed to work miracles - it dried me right up, stopped the sneezing and did not make me tired. But the next day was horrible, not only did I feel I had no sleep, but my throat was very sore, my nose was stuffy, I had a headache and my ears were popped. It was almost like it overworked. Months later I decided to give it another shot, this time only taking half a pill. Same thing, the next day worse off then when I had allergies - never again.Read More Read Less

After a long bout with pneumonia and bronchitis I continued to have a chronic cough, bronchitis symptoms, and post-nasal drip. The coughing was violent and lead to a broken rib. This medication cleared the symptoms overnight. The side effects for me are sleep problems, dry skin, constipation on occasion, and weight loss. The ability to breath especially when laying down and during the night far outweighs the side effects. I am hoping this is not a life long treatment.

I had wonderful results for my allergies but had a side effect I didn't know was being caused by Zyrtec. For over 3 months have been seeing doctors because of blood in urine that presented as on/off bladder infection symptoms. Saw 3 different doctors, had ultrasounds, ct scans & just this past week during a trip to ER thought to tell the doctor I had taken 1 Zyrtec the day before. She checked & found that "hematuria" (blood in urine) is listed on the drug company's site as a possible rare side effect. She had never seen this before & no one I know who takes the drug has ever had this problem. Just thought I'd put it out there for anyone who might be as strange as me regarding drug side effects.Read More Read Less

I have sinusitis and really bad sinus headaches. For those of you who have tried this, did it work for this condition? I am just so tired of being sick and my head bounding with pain. Help!!!

Using this to help dry up sinus issues to aid in recovery of bronchitis. The first week I took it I could not sleep now I am very tired and crash when its time to go to bed. Other symptoms include loss of appetite, dry mouth, and fatigue, but it has really helped with my sinuses, the good outweighs the bad.

My doctor is about ready to pass me on to an ENT. I also take Singular and Nasonex, but continued to have problems with bad sinus headaches. He added Zyrtec-D and Mucinex to the mix and it is working. It also works great as a weight loss drug. I have absolutely no appetite and have lost nearly 10 lbs. in 22 days! I don't need to lose anymore, so that is going to be an issue.

Before I began taking Zyrtec-D I had a stuffy nose, post-nasal drip, and horrible sinus cavity and eustachian tube congestion. After taking Zyrtec-D all my allergies went away so I'd say the medicine worked like a champ. Unfortunately Zyrtec-D also worked like a champ at preventing me from sleeping for an entire year. It got so bad I was only getting 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night and some nights I wouldn't sleep at all so I had to quit. My allergies are back but I couldn't live without sleep. Read More Read Less

I absolutely love Zyrtec D! I was hooked to nasal spray due to severe nasal allergies having me stopped up and congested all the time. I just wish it wasn't over the counter now as my insurance covered most of the cost before but now I have to pay in full out of pocket and it's not cheap! I've never had a bad reaction to the medication and I've been on it for 2 yrs now! It works for ALL seasons of allergies! :)

i dont recommend this product if allergy and other medications make you sleepy. I reciently got sivere attack of allergies and was trying ot fight of a little bit of a cold. I was conjested and hade dranage which was running down my throat and causeing sore throat. For me the medication makes me sleepy. So, i take it when i can have time to sleep it off. once i took the medication and slept, i woke up with my sore throuat lessened. the medication cleared up my dranage that was causing my soar throat. the next day i woke up feeling a litle worse then the day before. I was conjested and unable to breath out of one side of my nose. I took one pill and went to bed when i woke up and i could breath out of the side of my noise that was conjested. i woul say that this is a great product but dont expect it to clear all simptoms up.

I have been taking zyrtec-d for about a week for my allergies. It seems to have helped with my nasal allergies but now i have a nagging cough and itching throat.

I loved Zyrtec and am also sorry that it is now over the counter. I have switched to "Xyzal", but took Zyrtec for a couple of years. Would rather take it at this point as I have side effects with the new drug

I have to use Zyrtec-D on a daily basis due to chronic allergy conditions. Let me just say I am so mad that it is OTC because now I have to pay $25 for 24 pills when I was paying $20 for 60 pills. Something about that just does not add up. Honestly, I do not take this medicine as needed or temporarily, I take it because I HAVE to. I love Zyrtec-D since I have had allergy issues my entire life. THIS is the one that works! I pay a lot of money for health insurance every month, and when medicine after medicine gets placed OTC it makes people wonder why even have health insurance. I mean really, what IS the point? Someone help me understand...Read More Read Less

I'm on this site because I just got back from jogging and I wasn't able to control my body tempature, which I consider a serious side-effect. Also, the day begins with hyper-alertness that I'm not able to focus on things such as reading; but, then there is a crash, at the end of the day. This medication is effect without the pseudoephedrine, which consequently seems to have all the side effects.

this medicine has worked for me

Ilove this med Itworks great for me. Im just thankful it is finally avaiable over the counter because until resently we did not m=have medica coverage...

extreme dry nose membranes..yes it worked but feeling of blocked sinuses.

My mouth is extremly dry all the time, at nights I have to wake up and keep drinking water. I went to the mall and I thought my throat and mouth was about to crack with dryness.
