| 1 | severe itchy eyes and eyelids | The Claritin D made my eye irritation somewhat better but it still itches. I have been waking my gave and using a face scrub per normal as in the past. This year 2014 I took Claritin for the first time and my eyes all around it had become much later that night itchy. When I woke up I saw white blotches on both eyelids. Then as I was on my 5th pill which is 24 pills..my eyes blotchiness became bigger and nore noticeable. This medicine is giving me white blotches and i have a caramel completion. I think I need a lawyer. | F | 38 | 7 days | 5/29/2014 | 3 | Seasonal Allergies | I have NO ENERGY whatsoever almost all day like even my muscles are so weak I don't want to move. Like I'm on a muscle relaxant. I am so tired and yet my mind is wide awake. I can't think properly, can't type well and couldn't even finish a sentence when I was on the phone with my mom earlier. To me it just makes me very lethargic and sleepy but unable to sleep. | F | 24 | 2 days 10mg/240mg | 5/22/2014 | 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 | 1X day | 5/21/2014 | 2 | Allergies | This caused me extreme irregular heartbeats. Sometimes I'd feel fine then my chest would hurt and my heart rate would sky rocket. I could feel my heart pounding. I thought I was having a heart attack. Only took it two days and although it helped relieve my sore throat from allergies it caused me way too many problems with irregular heartbeat. This is a dangerous drug. | F | 21 | 2 days 240mg | 5/21/2014 | 2 | hay fever | Started getting really bad leg cramps especially in the knee, thight and toe area. Also, lower back pain. Didnt do much for allergies. I was still sneezing, had runny nose | F | 23 | 1 months 10mg | 5/15/2014 | 2 | Seasonal Allergies | Dry mouth, sporadic sleep, total loss of libido >_< Dafuq? Nothing makes me feel less like a man than not being able to pop a woody... even during sleep. Also the mouth thing... makes it feel like I'm constantly smoking a joint (which is excruciatingly rare for me, maybe once a year.. if that) Totally not worth the side effects. Dry mouth I could probably deal with... same for the sleep. But the other one... No. Hell no. Not cool. I can deal with the congestion and the headaches just fine. Thanks for the 10-day trial run Claritin-D... but I just can't | M | 24 | 1 days 1pilldaily | 5/8/2014 | 1 | seasonal allerigies | Right after first taking it had nightmares. Nausea and joint stiffness and swelling. When pollen got severe the medicine didnt even help. | F | 39 | 2 months 10 1X day | 5/6/2014 | 1 | severe allergies with nasal, throat | Horrible!! Will never take it again. The psuedoephedrine gave me extreme anxiety...making me feel like I could not breath. Been up for 2 days!!! Never again! | F | 43 | 3 days 240mg | 5/6/2014 | 1 | Allergies/SinusPressure/RunnyNose | About a month ago my allergies were so bad that I called in sick from work. I eventually broke down and took Claritin D 24 hour after trying Mucinex and not getting any relief. Well, the Claritin worked to relieve my allergy symptoms and I didnt notice any extreme side effects. HOWEVER, just yesterday I started feeling my allergies kick back in again so i took Claritin 24 hour /10mg before going to work. I have been experiencing the worst anxiety/paranoia that I have ever had with just that 1 dose! I can't look coworkers in the eye and feel extremely nervous having normal conversations with them. It honestly feels like I am cracked out on speed! it's horrible. Never again will I take this medicine; its simply not worth the nervous system roller coaster that it has out me on | Pseudoephedrine is the devil !!! | M | 32 | 1 days 10 MG 1X day | 5/2/2014 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Took at night. woke up and couldn't move my arm, legs, took every thing I had to get off my bed. Then I could not lift my feet to walk. Holding on I made my way around my bed. Didn't think I could make it to the bathroom.....once I got to the hall way, I tried to yell for my daughter....and I had no control over my mouth. Scariest Dam thing that ever happened to me. Doctor who told me to use this, wont see me anymore. Hospital said I must of had a bad reaction to it. GO FIGURE!!!! after 2 weeks of lifelessness, home sick from work, feeling like Im dying, I went into withdrawl.....I shook for 2 days straight.....every doctor I called....sat on the other end of the line....silent....I was on my own.....but they sure wanted to jack up my medical cost with all kinds of test, which were a waste, and torcher. Claritin, the worst drug. CDC, FDA, FDA.....all are BS......our country is about the rich getting richer and the average joe can just die. | F | 56 | 1 days 1 1X day | 5/2/2014 | 2 | No reason. | severe insomnia, loss of appetite, hardly using the rest room, stiffness of the legs and lower back. | F | 14 | 2 days 10 MG 2X day | 4/30/2014 | 1 | Allergies | Terrible chest cold like symptom. Burning coughing and headache. Scarred of this medicine. It feels like I have a chest infection. I took the medicine yesterday morning. | M | 57 | 1 days 10 | 4/25/2014 | 1 | YEAR LONG ALLERGIES! | Okay for me taking it...well its doesn't work. I still have a STUFFY nose that i can't get rid of and it last year long. but both my girls were just prescribed to it about a month and half ago and it actually has helped them with their allergies..my youngest was getting sick often but she's doing pretty good in that department. but my main worry is her complete attitude change. and its only at home or my grandmas well anywhere that it is just us family. She does fine at school with grades and her attention hasn't changed or anything there...sweet as can be at friends house. polite...respectful. But when she is with me she misbehaves to an extreme. Its not all the time but when she does its bad. Screams...yells...hits...doesn't listen. won't do things that are asked of her. It started happening over the last month. Over the first week i thought okay she's acting out you know its a phase but it has continued and has gotten worse to the point i'm in tears when she acts out. So i talked to | F | 29 | 1.5 years 10 1X day | 4/24/2014 | 2 | Allergies | I started having extreme paranoia after two days of taking Claritin. I also broke out with blackheads all over my chest and back, and my lips started to peel really bad. I felt like something was seriously wrong. I was surprised since this was otc, and I don't take any other medications. | It's relatively expensive for allergy medicine, and I don't want to waste it, but I won't be taking any more of this drug that has caused these concerning side effects for me. | M | 24 | 2 days 10 1X day | 4/21/2014 | 1 | Allergies | It gave me erectile dysfunchion at first i didnt know what or why then i put it together i switch between claritin and allegra from time to time and notice i was having sex and my penis went soft while we were doing it and i could never get it back up it was when i was taking claritin i been off for 5 days now and my penis gets rock hard again i will never take it again i also came when my penis was soft and other times i couldnt come scarry stuff but good news is about 5 days after taking it im back to normal | M | 47 | 2 weeks 10 MG | 4/20/2014 | 1 | viral respiratory symptoms | Caused blurry vision in one eye | F | 32 | 6 days 10mg | 4/13/2014 | 1 | allergies | Horrible anxiety depression and hallucinations | M | 29 | 1 days 10 | 4/10/2014 | 1 | congestion | Could not control my right leg | This drug is dangerous!!! | F | 43 | 1 days 1X day | 4/10/2014 | 2 | Allergies | Child had extreme anxiety on this medicine. Helps with allergies but side effects horrible; he was scared of his own body. He had similar issues with Singular. | M | 7 | 1 days 1 tab | 4/6/2014 | 1 | Allergies / sinusitis | Insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, restlessness | I tried generic Claritin (loratadine) because Zyrtec makes me depressed and irritable. I started with a very small dose (2.5 mg) of loratadine before bed because I'm very sensitive to medication. I fell asleep okay, but then woke at 1:00 AM with anxiety all over my body. I had such anxiety that I could not get back to sleep for the rest of the night due to the physiological anxiety response in my chest, arms, and legs. That was my first and last dose of loratadine... never again. | F | 44 | 1 days 2.5 mg 1X day | 4/1/2014 |
