Note: Zyrtec is now sold OTC as well. Walmart has it as does CVS. I don't know about any other drugstores/locations. Walmart it's a little over 19.00 for 30 tablets. They also have a generic but I've found from experience, after trying the generic that I experience break-through itching with the generic and I don't have that problem with actual Zyrtec. I take Zyrtec for idiopathic itching.

So it wasn't my imagination that Atarax lessened the burning in my feet! I was given Atarax for break-through itching and anxiety. I found, before I found other treatments, that Atarax often lessened my symptoms at night and also made me groggy so I could sleep.
