zyrtec and sleep

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.

I try all night but i just lay there. Is there anything i can do to help sleep? I have tried hot baths and walking but not sure what else i can do.

Insomnia usually constitutes impaired daytime function due to difficulty initiating sleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, chronically nonrestorative sleep, or poor quality sleep. Your condition also needs to be differentiated from Sleep deprivation wherein it is milder form. The initial steps you need to take is sleep hygiene education, stimulus control, relaxation, sleep restriction, cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, phototherapy, and chronotherapy.

How many of you have this and what do you do for it? I know we have talked about it on here before, but I am really having an awful time. My right ear constantly hurts and I have constant pnd and I keep getting sick with sinusitis and bronchitis. I can't even sleep at night. 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?

t do anything for me. Other than the temazepm, I currently take Adderall, Zyrtec and Ranitidine. I never take my last dose of Adderall later than 5pm. I would appreciate any advice.

Zyrtec and benadryl. Zyrtec doesn't work for me, and benadryl makes me so tired. So my Dr gave me flonase and said to take the benadryl at night.

I've been waking up for about 8 months straight with a sore throat and itchy ears. I went and seen a doctor about this and was told I have allergies, I was perscribed the generic for singulair for 10 days, and zyrtec for about 2 weeks to see if I got better. I opted to take the medicine at night (tonight)...and i can't sleep and my throat is so dry even after water. I really dis like medicine...I get anxious...what are some other options to feel better?... HELP!

I was told to take zyrtec. Now I have a rash on my upper thighs. Is it the generic zyrtec? Would the regular Zyrtec do the same? Have you ever heard of Diamox being prescribed for Meneire's disease? I find nothing in the literature about it and am hesitant to take it as it makes me very tired. I need to sleep about 3 hours a day when I take it. I don't want to experience vertigo again.

Zyrtec is the safest and one of the most effective allergy meds - deals with more allergens than claritin I use the zyrtec eye drops (i've only had itchy eyes lately) and Sinus Rinse - clears and prevents congestion. It took me a long time to get over the idea of squirting water up my nose, but it is totally worth it.

I'm dealing with that also! It's only at night when I want to go to sleep. I have Restless Leg Syndrome too. The itchiness drives me crazy. I've tried lotion and antihistamines but nothig works for me :( I don't go to sleep until like 1 or 2 am lately!

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

Only for one thing --- sleep. seems everytime i took the inc and riba together I could knock off a couple hours of sleep. now with the itch its very elusive.atarax, zyrtec,1.5 ambien all I could manage was 2hr 40 min, not all at once. Any body having problems after incivek sleeping? If so what do you do ?

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.

My have had terrible allergy symptoms so dr told me that zyrtec, Claritan and bendryl are safe during pregnancy. I took Zyrtec during the day yesterday with no relief by bedtime so I took a Benadryl to hopefully get some sleep at night because my symptoms were still terrible! Didn't realize this might not be ok to mix- anyone have any idea if mixing them once is ok?? Now I'm really nervous I did something wrong even though they're both safe.

Hi Nursegirl I went to my car for about 30 mins during lunch and closed my eyes..didnt sleep but feel a bit more rejuvinated.Added some more coffee too. It stinks bc Zyrtec is the only thing that helps clear my nasal passages & I used to take it daily but since my panic has been greater than my allergies i have stopped bc i do take xanax.

Here is link to sinus rinse, they have it everywhere http://www.neilmed.com/usa/sinusrinse_isotonic.

i have been dizzy for about 4 months now, have see GP, ENT, ER and neurologist going for an MRI tomorrow to see if acoustic neuroma, ENT says he think it allergies, i have started on allergy shots this week and i started taking zyrtec, but the side effects of those pills are dizziness, seems like i cant escape it

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.

Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP). It is characterized by small red bumps and hives, and when severe, the bumps form large patches. This rash usually develops on the abdomen, and spreads to the thighs, buttocks, breasts and arms. Anti-itching topical medications, antihistamines and topical corticosteroids can be used to control the itching.

It could take up to four weeks for the swelling and inflammation to subside. In Addition to Zyrtec, you could use saline nasal sprays. Also, try to sleep on your side, this will help to open up the nasal passages. Hope diabetes has been ruled out. If your symptoms worsen, or if there is discharge or if you develop fever, consult your doctor to rule out an infection. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

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!

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>.

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.

Last year I had the same problem. I layered Zyrtec and Benadryl. Zyrtec took care of my respiratory symptoms, but I was constantly itchy. The Benadryl stopped the itch. I liked the liquid versions because it worked faster. If this doesn't help try eliminating the Proactive. You may need to see a doctor at some point if you can't resolve the problem. Take care and God bless.

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.
