Hello,
This is likely related to the decongestant in the Zyrtec-D and Pseudoephedrine. This is regulated because some people use it as a starting point to make Methamphetamine. You may have to try medications that work through a different route to see if they help with your allergy control. For example:
(1) Anti-histamine such as Zyrtec on its own.
(2) A nose spray such as Nasonex, Nasacort, Flonase, etc.
(3) Topical decongestants such as normal saline which can be used to help flush the nasal cavity or Otrivine.
(4) Singulair or Ketotifen, both of these work at different points in the allergy pathway and can be very effective as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
