Zyrtec brain fog?
Hello everyone, I’ve recently started taking Zyrtec about 2 weeks ago. I normally don’t take meds for my allergies but I remember taking a few last year maybe like 4 pills the whole allergy season which for me is the duration of spring. I don’t remember the dosage but I picked up a bottle remembering how it helped me last year. I picked up 10mg not really thinking too much about it and I’ve took them for about 12 days (I counted the pills lol).
With that being said I am an artist/tattoo artist and realized I felt empty, almost like emotion was hard to reach. So again not thinking too much about it I figured I was burned out from art. I wasn’t having much of a drive to do anything. I love art a ton so not forming thoughts about it was pretty odd to me. Then I did a tattoo during those two weeks on Zyrtec and I realized it was feeling mechanical and I was super disconnected from it when normally I’m feeling excited and “locked in”. I was just “meh” about it. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me, so I took a break from creating and went on walks, spent time in nature and so on but still nothing. Then I figure I’d stop Zyrtec and maybe that could be the cause on why I’m not feeling it. I’m slightly worried I may have ruined my brain? It’s been 5 days since I stopped and Im hoping to get my drive back but I’m unsure if it’s too soon to tell. Has anyone experienced this? I’m a bit worried since art is my entire life, job and my happy place.
