After stopping zyrtec abruptly in summer of 2020, I developed intense itching as well as idopathic hives and angioedema. This caused me to restart the medication with each episode. The itching occurred every day that I did not take zyrtec. The hive and angioedema occurred weekly to biweekly unless taking 10 mg of zyrtec twice daily along with pepcid. I had to see an allergist later that year. Allergy testing was negative for any allergens for my symptoms. I also had several vaccinations prior to the start of the hives, including covid initial vaccine and booster, and the first two vaccines for gardasil. I did not have any know infections with Covid-19 that year or any other noteworthy illness. The swelling and itching impacted my ability to perform my job as a surgical physician assistant due to episodic swelling of my hands. I continue to have episodes of itching, hives and angioedema if I do not take zyrtec daily. While taking zyrtec twice daily to treat my hives, I developed a corneal inclusion cyst in my right eye. I eventually started treatment for the hives with xolair which improved the symptoms. I became pregnant in 2024 and stopped the xolair. During my pregnancy I tried to stop zyrtec again, with recurrence of my symptoms (itching, hives, angioedema). I ultimately had to restart zyrtec during my pregnancy and continue it daily to prevent my symptoms. The only time I have been able to stop zyrtec without significant symptoms is while on xolair.
