Have been on Zyrtec for 4 years now. When first began taking zyrtec, the allergy relief was great. But it did make me very, very tired. Later added singulair. Took both at night. So exhausted, couldn't function well thru the day but didn't link it to meds. Had repeat blood tests for anemia, thyroid, etc. but all came back normal. Switched singulair to morning to stretch out side effects, but still drained of energy. After taking these meds for years, just stopped about 3 months ago and energy level is back to normal. Allergies are bad again, but will take that any day over not being able to get out of bed and not having energy to get thru the day. Also, hair loss is no longer.<BR/><BR/>I have experienced some of these side effects -<BR/>Extreme exhaustion, lethargy, loss of interest, hip pain, back pain, occasional dizziness, hair loss.<BR/><BR/>I hope this information will be useful to others,<BR/>Tina HansarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-72324642314741396892008-08-13T15:02:00.000-05:002008-08-13T15:02:00.000-05:00"stomps a mudhole", that's a good expression"stomps a mudhole", that's a good expressionJimbromskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480579106355009821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-30661289555403952182008-08-13T13:15:00.000-05:002008-08-13T13:15:00.000-05:00Love you boys, but with the wrongheaded notions ab...Love you boys, but with the wrongheaded notions about Steely Dan, I might need to reconsider...<BR/><BR/>I can't say what hasn't been said more artfully (or in-artfully as in a few of the comments).

Many of the commenters have made my points for me, thank you Mr. Axelson for that compelling history of Steely Dan. I will keep this short.<BR/><BR/>First, ALBUM SALES. This is a ridiculous way to measure superiority. You know what sold more albums than BOSTON? Garth Brooks "Double Live". You know what sold less than BOSTON? A shitload of bands that by all accounts are better than BOSTON, including this band known as The Beatles. Stupid fucking argument. Album sales don't mean shit.<BR/><BR/>I think your assessment of the songs is fairly accurate, though you did fail to mention "Midnight Cruiser" and "Black Friday" which are also good (not great) songs. There also hasn't been any mention of "FM" , the title track to the box-office flop "FM". The soundtrack a chock-a-block full of 70's rock superstars, including Foreigner, Boston, The Eagles, Segar, and many more. However, when the execs were sitting around the conference table, deciding what bands should be on the soundtrack, they chose none other than Steely Dan as the title track holder. In fact, there are 2 Steely Dan songs ("Do It Again" is the other)on the album. Also, the song "FM" has that awesome guitar lick that we have all song along to. "..FFFFMMMM, no static at all.." Waaa-wa-wuh-waaaaaaa...<BR/><BR/>Another point, (and yes, I know this is after the "formative" years"). Boston had a single number one "hit" in 1986 with "Amanda". Power ballad cheddar at it's finest. I am not saying Steely Dan released anything good during the mid to late eighties, but c'mon. "Amanda" = Fucking terrible.<BR/><BR/>Also, in 2008, Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee used "More than a Feeling" as his campaign theme song. <BR/><BR/>And finally, and I think this will seal the deal. If you were locked in a room (for let's say, a 5 1/2 days) and had to listen to either Boston, "Boston" or Steely Dan, "Can't Buy a Thrill" on repeat, which would you choose?<BR/><BR/>Case closed.sacklunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865553449094912225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-36230705156995104452008-08-12T20:04:00.000-05:002008-08-12T20:04:00.000-05:00Axelson, I specifically excluded Amanda for a reas...Axelson, I specifically excluded Amanda for a reason.
