Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Hi hivers, I'm just curious about the side effects that are felt with those of you on zyrtec. I'm a cholinergic urticarian who can't seem to get relief...(unless I adopt the life of a climate controlled hermit) I've had a horror weekend. I loaded myself with zyrtec because of a few crucial social engagements and I experienced weird symptoms. I took three tablets and still came out in red hives all over. My face was the worst, the hives weren't raised, they were just very red. So only the angioedema (swelling) and the usual itching, burning feeling was relieved. I also had major heart palpitations and felt lightheaded and tired. It was utterly humiliating and of the 7 years that I've put up with this, it was the lowest I had felt. When our bodies are letting us down so much, it sure is hard to have a positive reaction. My family are frustrated and at times they make me feel more like a hypochondriac than a chronic sufferer of a life-altering IDIOPATHIC disorder...at least I have you all to give me the daily reminder that I'm not alone and there may be an answer somewhere...
