I seriously thought that I had cancer or some other horrible disorder until I started reading all of these posts and realize that I have similar symptoms. I am going to quit taking the meds immediately....I'll just have to handle the allergy some other way. Glad to see that I am not going crazy or terminally ill!

Very moody, HAIR LOSS!!!

Additional Thoughts
Works well, but not well enough for dealing with the other side effects. Thank goodness I found this website-I thought I was going bald for no reason. Had blood tests went to three different doctors-all my doctors diagnosed me as "stressed". I knew that couldn't be it, as I wasn't anymore stressed than normal. Finally-I traced it back to my Zyrtec use!

Side Effects
Extreme exhaustion, lethargy, loss of interest, hip pain, back pain, occasional dizziness, hair loss.

Additional Thoughts
When first began taking zyrtec, the allergy relief was great. But it did make me very, very tired. Later added singulair. Took both at night. So exhausted, couldn't function well thru the day but didn't link it to meds. Had repeat blood tests for anemia, thyroid, etc. but all came back normal. Switched singulair to morning to stretch out side effects, but still drained of energy. After taking these meds for years, just stopped about 3 months ago and energy level is back to normal. Allergies are bad again, but will take that any day over not being able to get out of bed and not having energy to get thru the day. Also, hair loss is no longer.
