antihistamine and zyrtec

I personally take a claritin everyday. I have seasonal allergies and pet dander makes my eyes and face really itchy. My Dr OKed it and said its totally safe. Hope this helps.

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?

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.

Has anyone experienced severe itching problems when they stop taking Zyrtec?

) the only time I feel someone what better is taking Advil Cold and Sinus, the Zyrtec seems to do nothing...... Any advice?

I have the same condition. My general doctor referred me to an allergist/immunologist, and I was told that I have autoimmune urticaria (hives). I was prescribed an antihistamine (Zyrtec), Zantac75 (an antacid that also has "alpha blocker" properties), and Doxepin (an antidepressant that also has "alpha blocker" properties. Over time, I stopped taking the Zyrtec and Zantac. Now I am only taking the Doxepin. This seems to control everything pretty well.

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!

We just adopted Penny last week. Our vet says she may have allergies and put her on benadryl 25 mg (she weighs 16 lbs) twice a day until he rechecks her on 1/7. The rescue organization wrote me and said benadryl was not safe; to use zyrtec (which I do on my male that I've had almost 10 years). Is benadryl safe for approximately 1 month's use? We want only the best for Penny. What should we do?

However, phenylephedrin is a decongestant, benadryl is an antihistamine and vicodin is a narcotic pain reliever. The concern would be that both bendryl and the vicodin would cause drowziness on their own. They would magnify that effect when taken together. You might want to take Zyrtec instead of the benadryl as Zyrtec doesn't cause the drowziness that benadryl does. Other than that, they are safe to take together, but don't drive and limit other activities. Take care.

Flonase and zertec side effects in children.been taking both sense he was 7 and has stopped growing in height but is gaining weight and is having problems breathing.he is 11 now.

I took a Zertec last night for my allergies and today I just cant seem to feel awake. Its a catch 22 for me bc when im tired I get anxious and now im both and dont want to take any more than the .125mg of xanax I took earlier bc I will be a zombie at work. And sipping on coffee. Does anyone know how long does a antihistamine like zertec stay in your system?

The itching turns to minor pain a week or two later as the skin drys and stretches, almost with very tiny tears. Anyways, as I mentioned, it starts when I take Zyrtec and stops after that.

I have had a problem with hives all over my body for a month or more now. My hands start to itch first, then the bottom of my feet, then my scalp even the inside of my mouth itches sometimes. I'm a hairdresser and suspect it could be the chemicals and shampoos and products. Or could this be a food allergy? I take a wonderful antihistamine called xyzal. It works really well but when it wears off I'm in trouble.

t have an appointmet with my doctor for two weeks. I had been taking singulair and zyrtec but I stopped until I can clear it with my doctor. Are these medicines safe and if not is there a safe one out there?

I have seasonal allergies and was wondering the best OTC antihistamine would work better. Allegra, Zyrtec or loratadine. I was on 12.5 zoloft for 2 weeks and tapering up to 25 mg (split another 12.5 in half so 3/4 a pill then one whole 25 mg. I have to do this slowly as I am super sensitive to meds. Thanks for any help. Plus I eventually need to taper down my ativan when I level on the zoloft.

It does sound like allergies to me. Try an antihistamine such as Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra, or Chlor-Trimeton. You can try Benedryl but it tends to cause drowsiness more than the others I mentioned.

he told me i could take benydryl zyrtec and claritin. of course ask your doctor but thats what he told me.

Ive been on every antihistamine, OTC & Rx. Ive tried every sunblock. Ive even been on XOLAIR for 6 months, but stopped because i wasnt getting much relief from it. so im going back to antihistamines, but no matter which one i use, it knocks me out! l cant function. my doctor told me to take montelukast sodium with zyrtec. if i take these at night, will they still be as effective the next day? will i still be drowsy all day?

You should take some steam inhalation, saline nasal drops and oral antihistamine medications and see if it helps with your symptoms. If your symptoms still persist it would be best to consult a doctor and get a proper clinical evaluation done. You would need to rule out the other causes of breathing difficulty including asthma, chest infection, sinusitis, etc. Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Yes Zyrtec and Claritin are fine - my allergies were insane this spring during dirst trimester so I researched it very carefully and talked to my doctor. Benadryl is also completely safe although it knocks me out like a sleeping pill. Which is helpful if you need a sleeping pill!

Make sure that the antihistamine you're taking doesn't have a decongestant included. I've taken Zyrtec D prior to bed a few times and stared at the ceiling for hours.

Greetings, I'm 40 years old and shower daily with a soap that leaves my skin dry. I don't like moisterizer soap or lotions on my skin. It doesn't feel clean to me. I've been like this my whole life...never had any dermatology problems. Anyway, I live in the California desert where tumbleweeds grow. Lots of people are allergic to the pollen including myself. Two years ago, my doctor told me to take Zyrtec. It worked within minutes!

His internal organs have all come forward and are pushing on his lungs and heart. He is otherwise healthy, runs, jumps eats drinks and eliminates. I am just nervous about the prednisone. Thanks for any advice you might have.

I've been having on and off sore throats for five weeks now. I've only once produced a fever and that was the first week. Usually after I get them I just have a feeling of minor pain when I breathe in air. I went to the doctor last week and they told me to take Zyrtec and it hasn't been working.

Allegra and Zyrtec both work pretty well for me, but honestly they don't solve my eye problems entirely. Get some replenishing eye drops to rid your eyes of irritants and keep them moisturized. Also, if you wear contacts, consider switching to glasses more often or getting a more gentle contact brand. Avoid gaudy makeup during the spring, and resist the urge to rub and touch your eyes.
