 5  allergies Loss of appetite! Thank God! I needed help with my allergies, and I might even be able to lose this 50 lbs now! I cannot take the Claritin-D, but just the claritin (loratadine) 10 mg works. I take it at night, to make sure that it wouldn't cause me any drowsiness, although I haven't had a problem with that.

 5  Allergies Prescribed for 90 year old mother-in-law. When off of Claritin because there seemed to be no allergy symptoms, she lapsed into abnormally confused and paranoid state - unable to communicate. Claritin was started again and she improved significantly. Has anyone else dealing with someone with dementia experienced this with the use of Claritin? It has happened three or more times, so it seems more than coincidence. F 90

 4  Allergic Pruritus Blurred vision in one eye / scintillating scotoma Possible post menopausal bleeding Restless legs Broken sleep Dry mouth Feeling "detached" I found Claritin extremely useful for pruritus. However, after several days of use I began to experience post menopausal spotting (a listed side effect is "menstrual irregularities and heavy bleeding"). I would also wake up in the mornings with blurred vision in one eye and on a couple of occasions I experienced scintillating scotoma (a form of migraine). I could tolerate some of the side effects as a pay off for relief from the itching, however the blurred vision and bleeding were not acceptable. F 58

 4  allergy conjunctivitis Ive been giving this to my 5yr old for a week now. I do not see any side effects in him. He is also useing eye drops so Im not sure if it is helping,.or if the eye drops are,..either way he is clear. I thought I should post this also as I had bad effects with my 8yr old useing it,.so maybe everyone reacts differently. F 40

 4  Seasonal allergies None In my opinion, it works as well as Allegra. Now that it is sold over the counter, I will continue to buy Claritin. M 44

 3  Post nasal drip I only start Claritin when I get the "drips", that annoying post nasal drip that starts to run down the back of one's throat. This results in a lot of "throat clearing" and mild coughing. However, as soon as I try to "withdraw" from the Claritin, I get a full-blown cold. My doctor says I should always take Claritin, but I prefer not. Any comments? Similar problems? F 59

 3  Seasonal allergy Increased anxiety and vivid nightmares. I've taken Claritin and the drugstore brand knockoffs for many years for occasional allergies. This year for no apparant reason I've experienced vivid nightmares and waking up in panic attacks. Nothing else has changed in diet or other daily life. If I ever take it in future, will make sure NOT to take it later in the day. F 62

 3  allergies None at first, but after long-term use (+2 weeks), I began to have muscle and joint aches and pain, as well as general lethargy. I also experienced some minor dizziness. I couldn't imagine why I was feeling so badly, and had some bloodwork done, all of which turned out normal. Then it dawned on me that I may be having a negative reaction to Claritin, so I just stopped taking it a few days ago. The aches and pains are subsiding,and I'm beginning to feel more energetic. I've been using Claritin on and off since they took Seldane off the market (Allegra just didn't work at all for me). Claritin has never been anywhere near as effective as Seldane was for me, but it at least took the edge off of my symptoms. This is the first year I've had to take it (or any antihistamine) daily for a prolonged period of time. F 53

 3  Rash/multiple food allergies/sinus Short-term memory loss, inability to concentrate, disorientation, groggyness, feeling sleepy, tired and somewhat paranoid. Inability to perform complex tasks. I was taking the drug on and off, maybe that is the reason for the effects. After several days of stopping it, I feel like a normal person. Even though the allergies are more intense. The drug does help the allergies. M
