Zyrtec

[vraiblonde]

Wow!

Not only has the pollen been bothering me, but I'm allergic to my beloved baby girlkin kitty.

I took a Zyrtec this morning when I got up, and my head is so clear - I can breathe! Kiki cuddled with me for an hour while I was reading and having coffee, and I didn't get that closed throat scratchy feeling I normally do when I so much as pet her. My eyes don't itch, either.

It's a miracle, I tell ya!

PS, I got the stuff that's behind the counter - the stuff with pseudoephedrine in it that they won't let kids have because they make crystal meth out of it.

You might want to check with your doctor or read the Zyrtec box, but typically, you take that at night, I thought, because it tends to make people drowsy after a bit.

I have an RX for it as well and love it. But I only take it at nighttime.

Which one is that? They have additional products than the standard Zytec?

I had my prescription changed BC I couldn't keep my eyelids open at work. Allegra is good for daytime allergies.

Alavert..OTC...plain old Alavert, doesn't make me drowsy and doesn't wire me. One in the morning and I'm good to go.

Just watch out for a rise in blood pressure if you're prone....

That's good stuff, too. I kept a pack of the dissolving tablets in my car in case I was out and about and symptoms would rear their head.

For everyday relief during the allergy season, I picked up a generic for Claritin from Costco (Loratadine 10 mg pills). It was $10 for 300, and I take one a day at the onset of symptoms, but usually only need to do so for about 6-8 weeks, then I'm good. Works great for me, and wayyyyyy cheaper than the prescriptions and name brands. Hell, I don't use the 300 in a year, but it's so cheap, and it works, I don't mind flushing the rest of them when I'm through. :shrug:

Allegra-D is just not doing it for me anymore. My doc gave me a script for Zyrtec - in case my insurance would accept it (they wouldn't), so we bought some yesterday.

Allergies, smalergies.......

This is Zyrtec-D. Got it at CVS OTC, but again you can't just pick it up off the shelf - you have to get the cashier to give it to you and show a driver's license.

I thought that was hysterical that I got carded for allergy medication.

We know you are cookin' up the meth.

She laces her smokes with the crushed up Zyrtec powder to acheive faster results.

Gotcha Well, now CVS can sleep better at night knowing at least one person out there isn't a meth-head.

I just have the original, and that's all I need, I think. I'll submit the verdit as it becomes apparent.

Pills never helped me. Ever since I started the allergy shots.... The three nose surgeries didn't hurt either. Of course the surgery didn't make my old nose look any better, but they dayum sure helped me breathe.

Deviated Septum ??

Due to a baseball bat to the nose.

I've never been allergic to anything in my whole life. A mild sniffliness during pollen season, but no food or animal allergies ever. I think I lost my immunities when I lived in Frederick, because we didn't have the trees that I have in my yard here - leaking tree debris all over the place and making my car yellow minutes after I wash it.

When they did the original allergy tests, they told me I was allergic to a tree I didn't even know we had in Maryland. Can't remember the name of it now and I know most trees in Maryland by the bark and leaves on them.
