| 5 | Taking for seasonal allergies. | Even taking this in the evening I am still very groggy in the morning. Been drinking an extra cup of coffee to combat the drowsiness. Some dizziness too. | F | 58 | 15 days 5-10 mg | 5/18/2017 | 2 | Chronic idiopathic urticaria | I took xyzal 2 yrs ago for a week to no avail. Trying it again now. Only on it for 3 days. The itching is still bad. Am I not giving it enough time? At least benadryl works. I would expect xyzal to work quickly, esp for the price. As for side effects, drowsiness, diarrhea, headaches, stomach discomfort. | F | 48 | 3 days 5mg | 4/29/2017 | 4 | Allergies | Dizziness | The medicine worked great on my allergies but I can't handle the dizziness. If I'm in bed room spins, stand up or sit room spins. I've been taking this for week and have to stop. | F | 50 | 1 days 10 | 4/23/2017 | 2 | Itchy eyes and throat, sneezing | Drowsy | No relief from itchy throat and sneezing | F | 50 | 7 days 5 mg | 4/23/2017 | 5 | Helped my seasonal algeries | Keeps me awake if taken at night. | F | 62 | 1 months | 4/21/2017 | 3 | Allergies, sneezing, itchy eyes | Experiencing confusion, cannot focus, mild headache | M | 35 | 0 days 5 mg 1X day | 4/14/2017 | 1 | Allergies | The inside of my nose has become so raw and even super sensitive to the touch if I touch my nose to blow it or its accidentally bumped. Its the strangest thing ive ever experienced and also the most painful. Never have I experienced this before | F | 48 | 7 days 5mg | 4/13/2017 | 1 | Allergies | Anaphylaxis to xyzal | M | 48 | 3 months 10 mg | 4/12/2017 | 4 | Mold Allergies | None | Before Xyzal I was sick all the time for years with horrible mold allergies that never subsided. I had taken most every allergy med available over 30 years. No others worked on mold allergies (indoor/outdoor) except Xyzal. | F | 51 | 5 years 10 MG | 4/4/2017 | 3 | Contact skin allergy and hay fever | SEVERE, intense itching upon missing a dose or when I had to go off it for a week for allergy testing. | Xyzal works better than any antihistamine I've ever used. Even so, I went off of Xyzal 4 days ago to prepare for allergy testing. I've been experiencing intense, horrible itching all over my body for the past 3 days. The itching is so bad, I have scratched bruises into my legs, arms, etc. from scratching so much! I went on Xyzal for minor allergy issues; this withdrawal symptom is SO MUCH WORSE it almost negates any good the medicine did for me. | F | 47 | 6 years 2.5 MG 1X day | 3/22/2017 | 5 | Seasonal allergies | None | I had terrible post nasal drip with a cough that remained after an upper respiratory infection. I couldn't smell anything. Xyzal stopped it immediately. I can taste and smell again! I'm not coughing or blowing my nose! I had tried Claritin, Zyrte, Allegra, and even neti pots to no avail. | F | 52 | 1 days 1 | 3/18/2017 | 3 | Food allergies | Anxiety, palpitations and weight gain. I am super tired all the time, gained 20 lbs. in 2 years. I am obviously not satisfied. That anxiety issues are getting worse. Palpitations sent me to the ER twice. I hate choosing between the side effects and my allergic reactions. | F | 45 | 2 days 50 mg | 3/7/2017 | 2 | All over body hives | Hair loss Anxiety Weird thoughts Weird dreams | Didn't realise at first since I sometimes have anxiety in general but since taking I have felt anxious every day especially at night in a way I haven't before. Trouble sleeping and focusing on weird obsessive thoughts and breathing. I'm going to go off and hopefully this will stop. | F | 20 | 2 months 5mg | 2/17/2017 | 5 | dry out bad cold/enviromental | Taken early it makes me tired later in the day. Dry mouth. And feel weak. But its not so bad i cant have a good day. Possibly raised blood pressure a little. Not for sure though. | It helps. I will take again if symptoms are bad. If drowziness isnt acceptable get claritin. | M | 35 | 10 days 10mg | 2/7/2017 | 5 | Allergies | None | Didn't cover all of my allergy symptoms before I got allergy shots, but worked significantly better than all other antihistamines on the market. Post allergy shots, it covers all symptoms year round without side effects. | F | 26 | 10 years 5 mg 1X day | 9/22/2016 | 2 | Severe sinus issues | Weight gain, lethargic, hives on arms | I started taking Xyzal a few months ago. I've gained 12+ lbs & tired no matter how many hours of sleep I get! I don't feel it's helped me at all but cause symptoms I mentioned above. Dissatisfied. | F | 30 | 3 months 5mg | 8/21/2016 | 5 | Severe Allergic Rhinitis | Sleepiness, but only towards the evening when I take it. I usually wake up refreshed. | I have struggled a lot with finding the right allergy medication, and this was a miracle med! | F | 21 | 7 days 5 mg 1X day | 8/10/2016 | 1 | Allergies:Mold,dust, trees, grass | After discontinuing use sever ITCHING! The first time a few years ago I tried to stop taking it I itched so badly I thought "Wow I really do need Xyzal" and started taking it again. This time I googled and hello. This stuff is addictive. Never again folks! Going to get my doc to prescribe something for the hives and I'm done. | Don't risk it! I had NO idea and now I'm convinced discontinuing Xyzal is my problem. Not my allergies itself. There are safer options. This should be listed as a side effect. Uncontrollable itching! | F | 52 | 5 years 5 mg 1X day | 6/12/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Xyzal is the only sinus medicine I have ever taken That truely helped my allergies... That being said I only need medicine from April to June when my allergies are the worst... I stopped taking it three days ago and have had the worst withdrawal itching all over I have ever experienced... This medicine has a component of Zyrtec (cyterezine) in it-doing some research it looks like coming off of Zyrtec causes the same crazy itching... I will never take this medicine again | F | 31 | 2 months 30 | 6/4/2016 | 1 | Hives allergies itching | Having hives type break out and this medication cleared it up. However I felt drugged up so I took it at night. I used to be able to take a 90 min spin class but I barely complete a 45 min one. My output have dropped 200. I told dr i have gained weight and I am tired all the time. Dr said it shouldn't be this rx. I wish I had read these reviews earlier. I will never take this medication again. I would rather have hives | F | 54 | 2 months 30 | 5/31/2016 |
