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.

Highly advise you grab another generic allergy pill bottle. I would not recommend.
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.
Cetirizine is the most effective 2nd gen antihistamine but it was the first so still maintains some drowsy components for some.
I haven't heard about the withdrawal but I've been on it for 20 years @ 20mg per day with no issues or drowsiness.
Was giving her Apoquel, which was expensive. A vet suggested that I try a human otc allergy med, since dogs can take most of them. This one worked out the best. 5mg for 20-50lbs, 10-20mg for 50-100lbs. I give my girl two of them. They can be given half dose every 12 or full dose every 24. One might work better than the other.

I got rid of most of my allergies by removing myself from situations that trigger me and watching what I eat.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is allergies have causes, the meds are just a bandaid for a lifestyle that needs changing.
Some of it isn't lifestyle change such as literally just walking outside in spring living life, going to work etc can ruin people's day with pollen in the air.
