zyrtec and anxiety

While waiting for our appointments I have decided to keep her on the generic Zyrtec daily and her attitude is better and the skin picking has nearly stopped. Could the scab picking and her allergies be related or is the Zyrtec treating a psycological issue? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/275320'>RE:RE: Compulsive scab picking</a>.

I have been on Celexa for awile and have never had to pass up another needed med because of it. I take omeprazole, also and did take Zyrtec for awhile, but it made me sleepy. I really wouldn't be anxious about interactions with OTC meds. Most of their labels will tell you what not to take them with. Good Luck!

I was also advised to take Zyrtec and wondered if Zyrtec had any more benefit for skin reactions thank Claritin. Claritin didn't help at all. Two dermatologists suggested Zyrtec over Claritin . I hesitate to try the Zyrtec as I took it once a few years ago and promptly feel into a deep sleep. If it is better for the skin than Claritin can it be taken at night and do any good? Your help is greatly appreciated. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.

My doctor was OK with me taking zyrtec. You just have to make sure to drink lots and lots of water.

It seems like Akira has seasonal allergies and dust allergies in addition to her food allergies. Because I really don't want to give her long term steroids, I decided to only give her the 1/4 tablet of Zyrtec that the vet told me to give her before. I try to wait 'til I just have to give it to her, because I know that people can build up a tolerance to antihistamines, so I figure that animals can, too.

Both Allegra and Zyrtec are 24 hour medications in my area. I have known several people who took 3 Zyrtec in one day, and my allergist says that you can't really OD on antihistimines. You should be sure to drink PLENTY of water and watch for signs of constipation and dehydration. You should make sure that your dr is well aware of how much of these meds you are taking to make sure that they are ok with any other medications you maybe taking.

10mg every day for the first five days and then every other day for the next five, in addition he gets a generic Zyrtec everyday. Now he just gets a zyrtec every day, and if his allergies act up beyond the zyrtec's control, like this time of year ,he gets a prednisone per day for 3 or 4 days and then every other day for two or until things calm down. Zyrtec can be expensive, but we actually found a generic brand at the dollar store! $1. for 14 pills, so we clear their shelves!

One day i felt short of breath off and on. I also took a Zyrtec. I almost went to the hospital because i felt bad and felt like my allergies/ sinuses were causing it. I also have anxiety. I see my Doctor next week but my questions are: Could that have been Allergy induced Asthma? Could it start now even though i am 26? And how common is Multiple Chemical Sensitivity? And can Perinnial Rhinitus Allergies get worse with time?

Had been on Augmentin for a sinus infection, just finishing up the script, and take Crestor, Nexium, and Zyrtec on a regular basis. Symptoms started a few days after starting generic Zyrtec, which also caused unbelievable dryness that felt like I was dehydrated (no vomiting, though). A day after the chills, I noticed my urine was dark and my stools were very light, almost gray, and I started getting very itchy but no rash.

Without the Zyrtec, my hives are not only unbearable but they also start to present in my throat, mouth and on my lips, so going without it is not really an option for me.

I can feel the heat rise in my body. First my nexk and chest turn red and blotchy. If the situation or anxiety passes, it will go away pretty quickly. If I cannot escape the stressful situation, I start to realize that I'm getting blotchy and the redness gets worse. The blotchiness creeps up to my face and cheeks. That's usually a worst case situation. I usually don't blush or get blotchy in the face. It typically stays on the neck or chest.

Here I am again 8 months later. Started having anxiety attacks and was prescribed first Xanax then Ativan. Noticed when taking 3 times daily that the tingling and numbness all but disappeared. Then got on a web site that gave me many, many side effects of anxiety. Among 10 pages numbness and tingling were listed as side effects of anxiety attacks. Can't quite get everything right, but have noticed that if I drink more than one coffee or ice tea, I have breathing problems.

Months ago my ALT was 26. I stopped using Zyrtec, and my doctor told me to use Atarax. However, its been a week and the rash is still the same. I am very worried about it. What shall I do?

started taking zyrtec, seemed to help a little but starts up again so i also started taking zantac along with the zyrtec. i am still getting some hives and itching but now for about the past 3-4 wks now i'm also getting nausea, please help!

I am writing it off from the Zyrtec, I felt like I could pass out at anytime exhausted and dry mouth from the Zyrtec. I will be sticking to Claritin. Anyone find these issue get worse when its really humid and hot out? I try to keep hydrated but palps even increase during the summer?

Zyrtec can cause side effects like skin nodules, rash, pruritis (itching), acne, urticaria, photosensitivity reactions and eczema. So, the itchy red cheeks could be due to Zyrtec. Discuss your symptoms with your consulting doctor he may change the dose or the medications. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I saw zyrtec at Walgreen's just last night. Some was out and some you had to ask for.

I already take zyrtec and rhinocort for allergies on top of all of the other meds I take for pain and reflux. I am seeing an allergist in August and I am going back to my pcp tomorrow for the millionth time. Any advice?

I have also noticed our 8yr old with the same ticks lately. He tilts his head back and forth and is constantly smelling his hands. If he's not tilting his head he's smelling his hands and it goes on and on throughout the day. We've not told anyone about this but even his friends and cousins will ask him why he keeps smelling his hands.

I have been taking Zyrtec every day and that definitely seems to help it somewhat because one day when I forgot to take it the DP/DR felt a million times worse, though even when I take it, the overall feeling is there still. I also have anxiety but it has ALWAYS been manageable for me.

I will get these headaches, but they are not the fantastic type that just blow you away, i have gotten those when i was younger and would have to sleep them off, but they are just headaches, i would notice my vision would get blurry before it would happen, and the headache would come, and its just a general feeling of unease. it lasts short time, or a long time, usually when im stressed yes but couldnt it just be allergies contributing to all of this.

Later saw a doctor and was prescribed Zyrtec (pills - 10mg), betamethasone (pills) and fluocinolone (cream). The last two contain steroids and I only took Zyrtec and the cream as I'm scared that steroids might break down my immune system. Both sites aren't swollen now but still a bit painful. A blister has formed on the first sting site. However the skin on my arm has reddened starting from Monday (yesterday) and the 'red area' keeps enlarging, covering 70% of my arm now.

My OB said I can take Benedryl, Claritin or Zyrtec (I am allergic to Claritin and Zyrtec gives me headaches so am taking Benedryl). Allegedly, Chlor-trimeton is safe until the 3rd trimester (that is what I usually take) but I decided it is better safe and sleepy with Benedryl :) My nurses' drug book lists them all as Pregnancy Category B, the same as Tylenol.

I think stress, weather and the food you eat plays a big part in causing the dermographia to appear on your skin. The doctor has prescribed me Zyrtec and said to take it once a day and it has controlled the itchiness and welts so far which is heaven for me but if i accidently scratch myself anywhere on my skin then i still get welts raised on my skin but not as itchy and it goes away after few hours or so.
