Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hi, For 3 yrs I survived on claritin. Towards the end I was only getting a few hives here and there and itched a little at the times I normally would be getting the hives. Other days it was like I never had cu. My angio had disappeared for 9 months. I almost thought I was going into a mini remission. Ha! You just can't think like that or you'll jinx yourself. Sure enough I did. The itching got worse but still not a lot of hives. I went to see my allergist and we both thought I should try zyrtec. He completely agreed that you can take 2 a day by the way. He said that the claritin was losing its effectiveness and that everybody needs to take a drug holiday now and then. So now I'm a zyrtec woman. Anyway, he said that zyrtec will control the itching but not the welts. Now my angio is back after 9 blissful months and I'm getting more hives but the itching isn't as bad. Has anyone else noticed this? Also I was able to lose weight with Claritin, but can't seem to now that I'm on zyrtec. I've been exercising like a mad woman and not eating as much.
