Warning: Zyrtec <2% Side Effects

Hey All,

Wanted to post here for the first time to share an experience I had with Zyrtec. Started taking about 2-2.5 weeks ago, never taken it before but seasonal allergies were crushing me. It’s worked pretty well but started noticing some things about 3-4 days ago that alarmed me.

As the Zyrtec concentration grew in my system (as it’s supposed to) I started experiencing brain fog and confusion, anxiety started to ramp up (never had anxiety and am generally a very relaxed person). I chalked it up to some big life events and stress, but as the Zyrtec peaked the last few days, the anxiety became really bad, I was getting this hair trigger temper that I couldn’t control, what I can only describe as emotional whiplash, and some other more intimate problems.

I became really concerned today and then it dawned on me that this all began when I started taking Zyrtec (I take no other meds or supplements). Checked the bottle, none of these side effects are disclosed. So went to my pharmacy and talked to the pharmacist and sure enough all of these symptoms are the <2% side effects they don’t have to disclose.

I had no idea this was a possibility and am so relieved that I have a reason for what I’ve been experiencing, because I was seriously getting concerned about myself. Just wanted to call this out because I’m sure I’m not the only person who has experienced this.
