Stopped Taking Xyzal and I'm Itching
I stopped taking Xyzal 3 days ago for allergy testing next week. Two days ago I started itching pretty much all over my body. The itching is really bad and I have red bumps. I also developed an exzema rash under my arms and inside my left elbow. Why is this happening?

When I went to my allergy testing, I complained, quite passionately, to my allergist about all the itching. I felt stupid when she explained to me that it was an allergic reaction, which can cause itching. The itching stopped 20 min after a nice dose of liquid Xyzal. I was prescribed a steroid cream for the rashes, which are going away.41 yr old, Female commented Nov 29, 2009 at 12:13AM

I've been taking Xyzal for over a year and I've only had one really bad episode of itching, the rest are just bothersome. I get anaphylactic reactions (I carry an EpiPen) and sometimes I get mild reactions that I can treat with 50-100mg of Benadryl early on, so I always have Benadryl with me. If I miss a dose of Xyzal and the itches start, I'm always prepared!
I hope you find something that helps you..
