My 10 yr old son has been on this medication for 3 months - it helped his symptoms right away. Just in the past week we had a couple days without it when we ran out. He started back up again and has had bad nightmares twice this week and told me that he doesn't sleep well at night. My question is - are their other drugs out there that work as well as this one that do NOT have these side affects? Zyrtec just made him tired.

Yes, there are many natural products/alternatives for your son allergy issues . . . instead of taking drugs that cause side effects. Unfortunately, most drs. continue to push drugs . . .even to children, since that's all they know. .
