I find it does help with nasal stuffiness. However it is drying. At the moment I am using nasonex only and a saline nasal spray or a neti pot to wash out the nose. I tend to take zyrtec if I have to take something, but I try not to if at all possible - it does help with the stuffiness in some respects but causes some dryness that in itself causes some stuffiness - hope that makes sense.
I tried Astelin spray at it seemed to help quite a bit. Whatever you do read the directions and do not swallow the medication. It tastes terrible and gets into your system. I only had a sample and have not seen that Dr. again and I'm out. But what I did have seemed to work.
On the Zyrtec subject. Has anyone had any problem with being jittery on it? I tried alegra and had the worst panic attack! I really don't want to go there again. Since this crazy sinus iissue started 18 months ago I am sensitive to many medications and I never had this problem in the past. I'm looking for something to treat the entire allergic response including the sinuses. The Doctors seem to think this is some type of an allergy problem but so far no cure.
i have used to zyrtec and found that if taken at night it works well for me. it does tend to dry me out so i usually take half of one. that's strange you mention allegra causing panic attacks because that also happens to me when i take allegra and most allergy medicines. i would understand if it was zytrec-d because suphendrine is a stimulate but i don't take decongestants for that reason.
