Positive experiences
“Yes they go away temporary with antihistamines.. i take cetrizine which works for a day.”
“I have started taking cetirizine 10 mg twice daily, and the mental symptoms have improved a lot.”
“I have to take cetirizine 3-4 times a day. That's the only thing that works.”
“Zyrtec is another unexpected one that's helpful...even if I'm fighting off a panic attack while trying to sleep, this plus a zyrtec will knock out those stress chemicals reliably.”
“My hands itch and swell up every few days if I don't take a cetirizine every morning.”
“Newer generation antihistamines (much less harmful longterm) like Zyrtec help me quite a bit”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I've tried taking 10mg cyterezine, when I had symptoms. I didn't get 100% relief, but maybe it eased out symptoms.”
“1 Zyrtec (this was the KEY to helping me... I have no idea why because I don't have allergies)”
“Cetirizine Hydrochloride/ZIRTEK... I get this no-nonsense attitude and feeling of focused... the next morning i'm feeling slightly groggy”
“I tried zertec and anti acids, nothing helps so far.”
“I went from being a B and C student, to a straight A student in all honors classes, without even trying.”
“High dose Zyrtec definitely gave me a huge rebound before switching. ... I'm taking Zyrtec daily since a long time, and it seems to not work as well as before.”
