Zyrtec is amazing. I suffer from a variety of indoor and outdoor allergies. In particular I am allergic to all kinds of pollens and mold spores, dust, dogs and cats. I also have high blood pressure, so I can't take any over the counter decongestants or most of the over the counter allergy or cold medicines. It was a real problem finding anything that I could take to relieve my runny nose, itchy eyes, and the really horrid sinus hedaches I used to get from my allergies. It of course didn't help that we have a cat or live in a place where dust storms are the norm and not the exception.
Still, before my doctor prescribed Zyrtec (which at the time was prescription only) I was totally miserable. I had tried Claritan and Allegra and while they may work for other people, they did not work for me. Then we tried Zyrtec! It was like a miracle. Within 2 days all of my symptons were under control.
I've been using Zyrtec for about 3 years now and I couldn't be happier. I can cuddle our cat, take a walk outside in the spring and I know I won't be uncomfortable. And there has been NO CHANGE to my blood pressure which has remained under control.
