I've been doing Xyzal daily for almost a year, having switched from Zyrtec as a result of a free sample.

Xyzal can make you drowsy, but it's a 24-hour active med so it's fine to take at night before bedtime, and will be effective all the next day.

You can also take just half a dose, which is what I do.

You can also combine it with Flonase, which has no such side effects.

It is also safe to combine with Ambien, and Xanax, if you need either of those. With the Ambien though, only take a half or you might oversleep.
