Zyrtec

Started on Zyrtec on the suggestion of my dermatologist for treatment of hives. Rash that resulted from the Zyrtec a MILLION times worse than the original hives. Had the same reaction to Seldane.

Have you had him checked for P.A.N.D.A.S which is a syndrome related to strep throat. One major symptom can be sudden onset of Tourette's. ALso can cause OCD, depression, and other psychiatric conditions. My son has it. SOme doctors don't believe in it, but it is being researched and getting more credence from those results. I don't know about the zyrtec side effects and am researching that myself. But thought this might take you in a another direction to get him help.

bad gastritis or abdominal pain; had to get into tub with hot shower on my belly;never had a worse experience or pain; thought I was going to die; malaise; moderate ear pain

I took one dose and experienced a bout of pancreatitis. I suffer from chronic pancreatitis and know what most of my "triggers" are.....never thought a simple allergy medication would cause such a problem, I think I would rather suffer allergies than risk pancreatitis.

I have a 12 year old son who took Zyrtec for year-round allergies.  He now has tourettes syndrome and we strongly feel the Zyrtec played a role in this health issue.  I started searching the web for info regarding Zyrtec and tourettes when I discovered eight boys in our area who all have allergies, asthma, have taken zyrtec or clariten and now have tourettes.  My son is now off of zyrtec, but has not been able to find any relief from his tourettes.  He is not able to be in school and we are actively searching for a way to reduce his tics.  We have tried supplements, biofeedback, diet, chiropractic care, and have worked with several doctors.  If anyone has found relief, please please share!!!  He is missing to much of his life.

I took Zyrtec for a week and while it does solve my allergy issues, it makes me a raving lunatic.  Severe aggression, mood swings, and nightmares are the norm for me n this medicine.  I would not recommend it if you are taking any anti anxiety or anti depressants.

I have Type 2 Diabetes, when taking my level in the morning I noticed my level was elevated, and the only thing I had ingested was a Zyrtec pill about 2 hours prior? Could the pill be the cause?
