So, my doctor told me I could go off Zyrtec as a test after I had gone through enough of my immunotherapy treatment. I came down to 1 pill of Zyrtec in my bottle of 365. I was coming up on a weekend trip. I go on my trip, leaving Friday, and having taken Zyrtec but leave the bottle home. I come back today and by hour 80 since I last took the drug, I was itching all over insanely. I felt like I was having symptoms of drug withdrawal. I understood druggies a little too well. I figured maybe it was something in the water or from having changed geographic landscapes or who knows what. Nope, it's fucking Zyrtec. I've since taken my last pill and will be buying more in the morning. I was about to tear my skin off. Itching EVERYWHERE. My skin is red in many parts but within having taken the pill in the last hour, I'm feeling immensely better.
This drug is ridiculous. Seems I'll have to lower the dosage gradually over the course of the next 3-4 months. Unreal.
I mean, the drug works but this is not something I've known about AT ALL. It would explain why I got so itchy before when I stopped taking the drug. This is one of the longest sprints I've ever gone on that I've taken the drug.
