I took Xyzal on April 20th and April 21st 2009 for seasonal allergies. I only took 2 5mg tablets and ended up in the hospital. I had hallucinations for 5 days. It was like being on LSD. I lost a weeks pay and put my family through alot. I am now going to see a phychiarist to deal with this. It affected me so much that they put me on Zoloft. I also contacted the FDA and reported this. I am currently seeing a new doctor and he has never heard of Xyzal. Has anybody else using Xyzal had a bad reaction? ## On April 20th and April 21st I took Xyzal. My doctor told me take it before going to bed because it makes you drowsy. Well it didn't make me drowsy. The pills were only 5 milligrams each. I had 5 days of hallucinations and did not sleep for the 5 nights. The hallucinations were so bad ...

I have been taking Xyzal 5mg tablets for treatment of my Idopathic Chronic Uticaria as it does help greatly however my insurance will not cover the drug because they say that there are OTC drugs available just as good. I see no relief by taking any of these which I have tried everything. I am wondering if there is any programs to help people be able to afford something that actually works? Thank you

does this company paid or give samples to patients who can't pay,this patient of ours would have to pay $67 a month ## Hello, Bubbles! How are you? Yes, there is an assistance program for Xyzal from Sanofi-Aventis, you can call them for more information on the program at 800-221-4025.

I had an experience April 20th & April 21st. My doctor gave me an allergy medication called Xyzal for seasonal Allergies. I ended up in the hospital because I had 5 days of hallucinations. It was like being on LSD. I soon found myself having alot of anxiety from this and had to wait 4 months to see a phychiarist. They put me on Zoloft. They put me on 25mg but I think they have to up the dosage because I have been taking it for about 2 weeks and I see only a slight change. Does anybody know how long I have to take this before I feel less anxiety? ## My Dr. started me out on 25 mg for the first week, then increased it to 50. I read it takes at least a week to start working. I had my first dose today. I hope it works. I've been self medacating and that does not work. ## to Jji hope...

I took Xyzal for 3 days a couple of years ago and it took the energy and endurance out of my body and legs. I also had a pounding sound in my ears. ## My doc said it couldn't have been the Zyzal that caused the muscle fatigue so I tried it again this year. After two days I had the same symptoms....this stuff is dangerous. ## That can be a normal side effect of this medication, according to FDA reports, since it is an antihistamine that is used to treat or prevent allergies. It may also cause drowsiness, skin rash, headache, and congestion. NDC code: 0024-5800, but the information found if you click that code is just one example, since it is manufactured by several different companies. However, side effects are usually transient, and then to improve with time, as your body gets used ...

Did Xyzal change their formula recently. I've been taking Xyzal for years for chronic urticaria. However, as of the last refill (June, 2014), it stopped working. Has anyone had this issue? My doctor wants me to try the generic to see if that works. Is there anything else that works as well as Xyzal? ## Hello, Tommy! How are you? No, but what has most likely happened is that you've developed a tolerance to it, after having been on it for so many years. You'll likely need to take a break from it and try a different medication for awhile. What others have you tried for your uticaria? ## Hi, thanks so much for the reply. The docs have me combining it with Allegra. I'm not sure it's working that well yet. I have to wait until the Prednisone treatment is complete. Other th...

I have been using xyzal for the past 4yrs and it has found its special place in my bag. It is a must to be with me wherever i go along with foracort200 and montec 10. I wont deny about the side effects like extreme drowziness and almost getting detached from work. The relief it brings is more imoortant to me. ## Where did you obtain Xyzal Pills as I would like to find some. I live in Durban kwaZulu Natal South Africa

I seem to get anxiety and fidgety with this drug, are these side effects? ## Xyzal contains the active ingredient LevoCetirizine, it is an antihistamine, commonly used to treat allergies. Unfortunately, some people do get this type of reaction from antihistamines, especially the ones like this that are listed as non-sedating. This effect should wear off as your body adjusts to the medication, it it doesn't, or you have already been taking it for more than a month and are still experiencing it, please speak to your doctor. Other side effects may include: nausea, headache, heart palpiations and blurred vision. You can read more about it here: Is there anything else I can help you with?

Last night we switched my 16yo from Claritin to Xyzal - She woke up with more hives than normal. Should this start working right away for hives? Or does it take a while to build up in the system? ## Why was her medication switched? It should work within 15 to 20 minutes, just like the Claritin did. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Neither of these may work super effectively for hives. Were they prescribed by her doctor? What is she allergic to?

Does Montelukast Levocetirizine Zykast cause mouth sores and night sweats? I'm very curious about it. ## Ive been taking the generic of xyzal for about 20 days +/-. Coincidental to this or not I also have developed a canker sore in my mouth- never had before and the inside of my cheeks are temp sensitive. Healing some maybe but in am worse & I take nightly. I thought it was something else but this is the only new med in my life so I was googling around to see if anyone else has had a similar problem- ? No night sweats but this raw inside cheek;sores is not good.

Our 7 YO daughter has had unexplained hives and rash for over 9 months, treating with hydroxyzine, Zantac, Singulair, and Xyzal. It had mostly cleared up and then she caught a cold so we gave her the recommended dosage of Veramyst. Within 24 hours her hives and rash were back, with fever, swollen feet and hands, and one bloody nose. The last dose was over 3 weeks ago and symptoms are diminishing, but still present (100.1 fever this morning). Has anyone else experienced reactions like this? ## my almost 6yo daughter was placed on antibiotics and veramyst for a sinus infection. She had about 3-4 doses of veramyst during a week's time. I had missed a couple of days of it and gave it to her before bedtime. She awoke a few hours later with intense itching and a rash all over her body. Th...

I have been taking Xyzal (levocetirizine dihydrochloride) along with ornidazole 500mg + ofloxacin 200mg for four days now to treat a UTI. I have also been on diamox and slow-k., along with drulatan and brimopress eye drops for my open-angle glaucoma. However, my eye pressure just keeps increasing since I started the treatment for the urinary tract infection. Could any of the antibiotics or the levocetirizine be causing it? Thanks.
