My family first tried Zyrtec when my oldest was a toddler. She developed horrible allergies in the spring and was constantly sick. Our family doctor sent us home with a box of liquid Zyrtec and instructions. Within 2 days, she was symptom free! We have used it every year since, starting in February, all three kids get a daily dose. The only time they suffer from their allergies is when we forget to give it to them. I've noticed it only works for about 24 hours, no matter how long they they have been taking it. So we have to be diligent in giving it to them. The older 2 kids take the liquid straight, for my 3 year old, we mix it in this chocolate milk in the morning.
My husband finally starting taking it this year after having bad allergy headaches his entire life. The Zyrtec has stopped those!
I like that it is non-drowsy and doesn't make me walk around in a fog. I'm able to take my dose in the morning before work and actually perform better during the day because I'm not stuffy and sneezing, or clouded and tired from the medicine.h
The only drawback is the price, but we have been lucky enough to find Zyrtec at Sam's Club for a very reasonable price.
