Guest guest Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Anyone here use zyrtec? If so, how do you like it and does it make you drowsy or have any side effects? I am thinking of using it on Talon at bedtime for his allergies and hopefully to help with his sleep. I have never taken it and just looking for advice from anyone who has used it.

It does not waive or massage. My dh has a massage chair - those things give me the creeps. IT does not waive eiather. But when I feel particularly weird, uncomfotable or just need more snuggly feeling bed, I lower the pressure so that I sink into it. LOVELY!!! But I just saw the HEARLAND AMERICA ads as I was looking for a guest bed and saw that they have 2 queens - one has an elevevated head and the other head and foot.
