 1  Allergies Son was taking for allergies. Doctor switched from Zyrtec to this. Well he started vomiting in the middle of the night. Would not eat like he normally would. Woke up around 1am to around 3am either throwing up or just restless. Has a very bad temper mood swing and just all around angry. And he is usually so sweet. He hasn't had the same energy level as he usually does either. Why would doctors prescribe this to anyone but a child at that!? Never again. We will deal with allergies in a Different manner. Do not take this child or adult. M 5 18 days

 1  Sinuses I took this two days. Only 10 mg. I started having severe tremors. I was extremely cold. My heart was racing. Went to the ER. They released me and said I was having a bad reaction to Claritin. The excruciating pains came in the next week and still had tremors off and on. Arms and legs felt extremely heavy any weak with tremors still coming and going. Insomnia and neck pain. It's been 15 days and I'm feeling better but still some body pains, some insomnia (not as bad), arms still have some pain (feel swollen) and my heart has calmed down but not quite back to normal. Has it taken anyone else this long to get over it? F 56

 1  Allergies Anxiety, insomnia, fever, muscle pains, sweating I hate this stuff. Awful side affects. I have to say...it was so scary I spent a lot of time in prayer. Sweet Jesus got me through it in two days. I am now back to normal. Without him I would still be in the awful place I was in after taking it. F 55 2 days

 1  seasonal allergies This stuff is poison... I began taking this alongside Flonase, and nighttime Mucinex pm as my allergies and sinus pain hit me like a ton of bricks in mid April. Continued taking this garbage for a month, as it collectively seemed to keep my symptoms mostly at bay for a bit. Until it didn't... and I felt like it was making me way more brain-foggy, depressed and irritable than I've ever felt. Anxiety went up a lot as well. Just generally feeling like I'm numb and muted, and I've been off of this poison combo for about a week now and I still feel like blehhhh. I've recently signed up for Curex, a natural immunotherapy company that offers a spray that you take for about a year that will (fingers crossed) cure my allergies naturally by this time next year. Stop taking this poison crap from big pharma. I feel like a zombie from this stuff and I regret not trying the natural route way sooner. DON'T USE IT M 31 30 days

 1  Son has seasonal allergies Just putting two and two together for two months my normal 4 year old started acting extremely angry, rude, out of control, screaming, hitting, slamming doors, stomping not caring about time outs/privileges being taken away. He lost his appetite never wants to eat. It has been heartbreaking to watch!! I am stopping this medication immediately!! This site has proven my beliefs that it's the cause! I can't believe they sell this for children if this is what seems to be consistently happening! Ban it for kids!! M 4 2 months

 1  Seasonal allergies Prior to taking Claritin my son had some slight or what I would consider common anxiety (first day of school, will he be picked for a sports team). Within 24 hours of his first dose he started experiencing sever anxiety, then shortly after paranoia. He stopped eating solid foods because he couldn't make his brain stop telling him he was going to choke and he was afraid to die which went on for days, having just attended a funeral I thought his anxiety issues were stemming from him dealing with a funeral at his young age. His behavior continued to worsen along with his anxiety though and just didn't seem possible all from a funeral of someone he didn't know very well. Ultimately on the last day he took Claritin he started inducing vomiting, which he said he did, because his brain told him to do it and he needed "control" and he "didn't know how to make his brain stop making him do it". Thankfully after that last episode I did a google search and found all these reviews and discontinued the medication. I was seeking out therapist for my son and taking him to drs thinking he was having a psychotic breakdown. not knowing all I needed to do was stop giving him allergy meds. Side note they did work really well on his constant runny nose. About 24 hours after taking the last dose, and just as quickly as they started his s Parents with slightly anxious kids beware!

 1  Excess Fluid In Ears Took 1 10mg dose about 5pm after my Dr. suggested it at my appointment that day. About a half hour later, had a pretty bad headache. Had to take 400mg of Motrin. Started to feel drowsy and dizzy later in the night. Went to sleep at my normal time about 2am. SLEPT UNTIL 2 THE NEXT DAY!!!!! Woke up feeling VERY hungover, dizzy, nauseous, drowsy and had HORRIBLE brain fog. Had to take an anti-nausea pill. Went back to sleep until 4:30pm. It is now 7:30 the next day and Im still nauseous, my head feels weird, I still have a slight headache and Im anxious. I hope I feel better tomorrow because I dont feel well AT ALL!!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!!! I took the regular Claritin(Loratadine). NOT the Claritin-D(Loratadine+Pseudoephendrine). F 40 1 days

 1  Seasonal Allergies, Post nasal drip Gave 1 dose to my 9 year old son (two 5 mg chewable tabs) and my son had a horrible reaction! This medicine literally made him extremely lethargic to the point he would fall asleep immediately upon sitting down and cry when he stood up because he “just wanted to lie down”. After about 10 hours, he threw up twice and he completely lost his appetite for the day. I had to force him to drink fluids through his limited waking hours to stay hydrated. Never ever ever again. This is our first time trying this allergy medicine (we usually use nasal spray) & we honestly started to take him to the doctor until I found this post and realized it's more common than not for reactions like his to affect kids.
