Good stuff, but boy, does it make you sleepy.

[Dysart]

It makes you sleepy?? I’ve been taking it for yrs and really like it because it has zero side effects for me.

But of course people are unique and drugs do interact with our individual chemistry accordingly.

[DuncanWaring]

I tried it once for a couple of days and felt like I’d been pole-axed.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

"felt like I’d been pole-axed"

Is that good or bad?

[swmobuffalo]

This is great! Zyrtec works the best for me of all the allergy stuff on the market. Hope the generic is out before ragweed season this year!

[Graybeard58]

My wife has taken it for years without the “drowsy effect”.

[Graybeard58]

Zyrtec-D was also approved for sale without a prescription, but it will be kept behind the pharmacy counter because it contains the nasal decongestant pseudoephedrine.

Just damn! I was counting on being able to get all I wanted for my meth lab.

[Dysart]

Is that good or bad?

I'm guessing not desirable. Poleax:A medieval battle-ax consisting of a long shaft ending in an ax or a combination of an ax, hammer, and pick.

[-=SoylentSquirrel=-]

I always thought to be poleaxed was to be rent asunder.

[Hazwaste]

Didn’t have the drowsy problem, but my wife says it made me “difficult to live with”. Too bad too, because it was the only thing I’d tried that actually worked on my symptoms.

I can’t wait till they put out Viagra OTC. Sell them between the M&M’s and Kit Kats....

[Hazwaste]

They’ll keep them near the hard candies.

Good stuff, but boy, does it make you sleepy.

And does Benadryl™ wake you up?

[steve86]

Didn’t have the drowsy problem, but my wife says it made me “difficult to live with”.

That would be an over-the-top compliment compared to how I can act.

[ChildOfThe60s]

That’s a weird thing about antihistamines, one kind may work wonders for some people and do absolutely nothing for other people. That’s one reason why so many have been developed, I guess.

How does this stuff affect blood pressure?

[Dysart]

Doesn’t effect my blood pressure at all. The effects and others some are reporting here I’ve had with benadryl....stuff makes me climb the walls.

[null and void]

I can’t wait till they put out Viagra OTC. Sell them between the M&M’s and Kit Kats....

Re: Viagra, I asked the pharmacist if I could get it over the counter.

He said I could if I took two...

[myprecious]

How does this stuff affect blood pressure?

Zyrtec will not affect blood pressure, but the "D" formula will raise BP.

[toldyou]

“He said I could if I took two...”

Hey, my daughter promotes Viagra...

I’ll bet you can do beautifully without it, but...

do ya want some samples? (The candy bribe didn’t work)

;)
