I have now been on Xyzal or the generic for 2 years to alleviate allergy and hives. Works like a dream (still get mild heat induced hives but not as severe and short lived) and I have not experienced any negative side effects. Makes me a little drowsy but I take it before bed and am still able to get up early and go work out without any residual sleepiness.

Medication knocked me out the first night I took it. After that, it did not affect my sleep nor my allergies! Still had extremely stuffy nose and itchy eyes after 2 weeks of use.

My son has been on this medicine for over a couple of months & has helped tremendously. He's had endless & massive sinus discharge due to allergies. Even after having his adenoids removed the sinus discharge never dissipated. The longer he has been on the medicine, it's given him relief from having to clear out his nose so frequently. I've noticed if he accidentally missed a dose, it does take a couple of extra days for the medicine to kick back into effect. I haven't noticed any side effects from my son taking this at all either. He's even happy too for not having to deal with his nose all day, every day with the thick disgusting discharge. Read More Read Less

I switched to XYZAL a few years ago and it's been the best thing I've ever done. I use to get sinus infections at least twice a year. This medicine keeps allergies away... LOVE LOVE LOVE

I've been using this to treat severe itching due to Hand, Foot, & Mouth disease. It took two days to fully kick in, but it has greatly reduced the severity of my itching. It has also been very helpful for my postnasal drip. I do find this medication to be somewhat sedating, but it is manageable with a little extra coffee in the morning. At the very least, it isn't nearly as sedating as Zyrtec or Benadryl, so I'm content.

I had hives for 4 1/2 weeks after a reaction to a medication during my colonoscopy. I thought I would go crazy from the extreme itching! I tried many OTC antihistamines and prednisone with no improvement. Finally I went online and read something about Xyzal and thought "what's one more?". Worked like a charm! Finally, relief the very next day!
