My dd and I take Zyrtec. :)

I take Claritan--my Allergist considered putting me on Zyrtec, but he said that if the Claritan works for me with no side effects, I should just stay on it. I need to take it every day now because of my cat and dust mite allergies.

I am on Zyrtec and I also use Tylenol PM or real OTC allergy med at night (you wouldn't believe what I went through before I started shots 4 years ago!!!) in addition to the Zyrtec and nasal sprays.

I use Equate brand multi-symptom cold relief, nighttime formula.

In our house we use daily or often these allergy meds:

Claritin (tablets and Redi-tabs)

Flonase (nasal spray)

Patanol (eye drops)

Benadryl (tablets and liquid)

For cold/flu symptoms we also use Dimetapp liquid.

I used to use Zyrtec for my seasonal allergies, until my insurance stopped paying and I refused to pay $75 out of pocket each month! They told me to use Claritin. Claritin doesn't really help me, but I can pretty much control my allergies with the Patanol drops and the Flonase.

I used Zyrtec, it worked fairly well for me. Then I tried Claritin, which doesn't touch mine. Allegra just gives me smashing headaches. I like the Patanol for my eyes (I can see! I can see!), but the AquaCort spray caused massive sores in my nasal passages.

I take zyrtec for my allergies (dogs, dustmites, tree pollen, etc). I also use Nasonex spray.

I take all sorts of allergy meds, but I take a lot less now that I'm gluten-free. I was using my inhaler a lot, and I rarely have to anymore. I still have pet, dust, and mold allergies.

Watch out for generics. I found out that my Walgreen's version of Claritin isn't gluten-free, so I have to buy the name brand. It's reasonable at Costco.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
