I always take cetirizine with food. It seems to help with any stomach issues and makes the dry mouth bearable. Worth a try if you're struggling with side effects!

I think the 'non-drowsy' label is misleading. I feel fine in the day, but it messes with my sleep at night. I've started taking it in the evening instead and it helps a bit.

Cetirizine saved me during my road trip through the countryside. The pollen was insane, but cetirizine kept me from drowning in tissues. Highly recommend!

I had to stop taking cetirizine because I got a rash all over my body. It was terrifying. I ended up in the ER and had to get a different medication. Be careful, folks.

Cetirizine didn't work for me, but my doctor suggested increasing the dosage. That did the trick. Just be careful and consult your doctor before doing this!

Cetirizine works great for me! No drowsiness at all. I take it daily during allergy season and it makes a huge difference. Highly recommend!

For kids, the side effects can be a game-changer. My son gets terrible stomach pain from it, which we only discovered after a few days of use. So frustrating. Has anyone else had similar problems with their kids taking cetirizine?

I've had mixed results. Sometimes it helps with my sneezing and runny nose, but other times I feel so tired I can barely function. Anyone else experience this?

Cetirizine is my go-to for allergies. The side effects are minimal for me. The only issue I have is a slight dry mouth, which I just deal with by drinking more water.
