My six year old son has had all these same side effects you listed, and also leg pain at night and in the morning. He also gets so upset over small things that he says he just wants to die! This is so scary for kids to have to deal with these side effects! I hope just stopping the medication is enough. I just read on another website that Zyrtec causes similar side effects and my son really has to have the Zyrtec for his asthma and allergies. What are we to do?
