I'm female, 71, and for years have had chronic rhinitis which leads to sinusitis, and bronchitis and worse. I have tried almost every allergy tablet and spray both here and in Germany. Finally, my new, young physician told me that he used Xyzal and gave me a few samples to try. It is the only medicine that has helped. Effective after the first three days. But the best thing of all is that it gives me six to eight hours of good sleep which I have been unable to do for years. I started with 5mg./ per night and now can get by on 1/2 of the tab. (2 1/2 mg.). If I begin to have symptoms in the morning, I take the other 2 1/2 mg. It is so good...there must be something wrong with it! I even talked to my Pharmacist to be asssured that no narcotics were in it. No side effects for me, so far (who is highly sensistive to many drugs) afer six weeks. YEA! No more constant coughing, face and headaches, constant post-nasel drip, etc., etc. P. S. I could not take Zyrtec, it made me feel terrible and I could not keep awake in the day and it did not help me sleep at night!! Go figure!!!!??? Published: September 28, 2008 ::

When weather is extreme, I develop sinus headaches. In allergy tests, I don't appear to be allergic to anything. I guess it's recycled air that is the problem? I don't know, but, working in a call center, I have to be personable and able to think and communicate. My doctor wanted me off the Zyrtec D, even though it seemed to be the only thing that worked for me. But I have found the Xyzal to be pretty effective so far. I am experiencing some mild dizziness on occasion, but I sleep better and am alert during the day. I use a nasal spray as well, and the combination, thankfully, seems to work.

It is amazing ! I suffered with hives for over 2 1/2 months due to an allergy to Red #40 (which took over 2 months to figure out what I was having the reaction to). I was admitted to the E.R. and treated after having a reaction to the steroids I was on for 6 weeks. The doctors had me on several strengths/types of steroids. They had tried Claritin, Zantac, Singular - nothing was working. Three doctors later I decided to start looking on the internet for help/relief and found the website for Xyzal. I asked my doctor to write the prescription for me - we had tried everything else. My arms, back, chest, legs had hives everywhere. I looked like I had the chicken pox !! I took the pill before bedtime and when I woke up - the hives were almost COMPLETELY gone !! I cannot believe how quickly this medication worked ! The itching and painful welts were FINALLY gone ! I am very greatful to have found this medication and I think this medication should be given an award ! I found it was extremely frustrating that the doctors were unaware of the medication and I had to go through so much pain and suffering before finding this wonder drug. You really need to get the information out there about this medication and help relieve many of the other people who suffer from this condition. It truely is a relief for me and my family.

I was prescribed this drug for unexplained hives. It has minimized the hives wonderfully. Still have a few now and then but nothing like before. If I do not take the medicine every day I start breaking out with hives again. So even though this is ver effective it is only a treatment not a cure. Now that I have been on it for about 6 months I am starting to have side effects that I did not notice at first. I feel very fatigued all the time, dry mouth, lack of motivation, easily agitated, agressive and depressed. I am concerned about continuing with this product even though it is very effective on treating the hives it was prescribed for. Published: May 12, 2008 ::

I have allergies, chronic rhinitis, and allergy-induced asthma. This drug has helped me so much!! I no longer need nose spray to breathe, my sinus drainage has greatly decreased, and my allergies are better! I had dry mouth for a while, but now no side effects!! Published: March 21, 2008 ::
