My name is Susan Carey and i would like to show you my personal experience with Zyrtec.
I am 40 years old. Have been on Zyrtec for 5 days now. The five times I took this medicine i felt extreme anxiety, depressed, and wild moodiness. I don't commonly feel any of these symptoms. It was really awful. It wasn't until I looked online and saw other people saying the same sort of things that I concluded it was this medicine.
I have experienced some of these side effects –
anxiety, depression, and mood swings
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Susan Carey
