The moment I stop, allergies come back full force.
Loratadine has far fewer side effects, but isn't as effective. But heck I'd rather have some small allergy symptoms than be hooked on Zyrtec all my life.

The moment I stop, allergies come back full force.
I've been taking Kirkland Aller-tec for probably 15 years now. It's really brilliant because it's sold in a qty of 365 pills and Costco puts it on coupon every February. So if you get your own bottle, take one every day and are careful not to lose (m)any then you will run out exactly in time for the next sale.
I shudder to think of how much money I would have wasted had I been buying name brand Zyrtec all that time. It astounds me that people do that.
RE: Aller-fex... unfortunately, for some people fexofenadine works better than cetirizine, and even though it's more expensive than Aller-tec, Aller-fex is still much cheaper than name-brand Allegra.
OP, what was the price you paid for Aller-tec in the warehouse--$9.99? Usually prices are a buck or two cheaper when buying at the B&M versus having it shipped. Not that $2 would be worth making a special trip to Costco, but if you're planning to go anyway during the current coupon book then it makes sense to just buy it then.

Also, as far as Aller-Fex vs Allegra. I actually bought both bottles on previous sales. I did notice that the Allegra packaging shows that Allegra, which is manufactured by Sanofi, of France, is actually made in Germany. The Aller-Fex, I noticed on my previous bottle was manufactured in the Czech Republic.
I won't get into the rabbit hole of COO when it comes to drugs, but if you've read the book Bottle of Lies [amazon.com] (which you can get in hardcover for $5 + $4 shipping, Used on Amazon) -- you'll know why a COO of Germany, Czech Republic and USA is preferable. That said, the brand name Allegra isn't as significantly more expensive as you'd expect. The regular Costco price for generic Aller-Fex is 20 cents per pill, while the brand name Allegra is about 35 cents per pill. I did notice, however, that when I looked for the COO on the Aller-Fex bottle, that it was no longer listed. It no longer listed Czech Republic as COO - so I'm not sure where it's being manufactured, today. Although to be fair, I can't find a COO on the bottle of Aller-Tec I bought at Costco, either.
One other quick useful piece of info -- expiration date on the bottle of Aller-Tec I purchased was June 2024.
