I knew the known side affects. most simtems apeard after I quit taking the medication. Tey where so bad that went to the emergence room.. | M | 54 | 30 days 10MG 1X day | 6/4/2013 | 1 | allergies | anxiety, panic attacks, could not breath, gasping for air, nightmares, heart palpitations, depression, crying. | This was prescribed by my doctor. This drug should be taken off store shelves and not advertised like its candy. Dangerous stuff. I thought I was going crazy. Thank God I found this site. It took about 4 or 5 days off the drug to start feeling better. I felt I had withdrawls from this drug. NASTY, NASTY, DRUG...... | F | 53 | 1 months 10mg 1X day | 5/27/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Anger 2 bouts with bronchitis occasional wheezing crying needy scared AND MOST TERRIFYING a hallucination of a boy beside his bed which led to more fear than I have ever seen in a child. I thought his fearful changes came from watching too many shows for older children but finding this website has me sure it is his medicine. His allergies are under control but my happy dancing boy has turned into a fearful crying boy that is angry, scared and hits others and himself!!!! No longer will he take this drug. I'm praying away any problems the hallucination has caused him and any withdrawals that could come from stopping this medicine. | M | 4 | 6 months 7.5 mg | 5/26/2013 | 1 | allergies | Pounding heart, internal jittery feeling, anxious, confused, dizzy, headache | I took one 5mg grape chewable kid version thinking that I could easily double if I needed to. Went to bed. Asked hubby if the load in the washer sounded uneven, and he said the washer wasn't ON. It was my heart pounding & my body shaking! Finally got to sleep, awoke the next day & felt like I was on speed. 24 hrs after taking the dose, I was dizzy & lightheaded with a headache. And I don't get headaches, have anxiety, or any other issues except allergies, which this drug was absolutely ineffective in remedying. I foolishly thought that I was being safe taking a chewable grape tablet dose intended for kids 2 & over. I understand how a child or adult could have adverse effects and have their symptoms confused with an emotional disorder. But here's a hint - if you're having symptoms or an adverse reaction, investigate what you're ingesting! | F | 43 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 5/16/2013 | 1 | allergies | Severe insomnia, dry mouth, dizziness, restless jittery feeling. Here I lie in my bed at 12:45 and I have been here since 9...wide awake. Complete garbage. Never again!! had I have seen this earlier tonight..I'd never have taken it. | F | 44 | 1 days | 5/9/2013 | 2 | Allergies | Insomnia, SEVERE Panic attacks, feelings of impending doom, Fatigue, Depression, Strange & Vivid Dreams, Irritablility, Elevated Heart Rate, Strange feelings in Stomach. | I began taking Claritin 2 weeks ago to try and combat allergies that I thought were creeping up on me... after 1 week I started to develop insomnia for 4 days in a row...then I began having mild to severe panic attacks and extreme feelings of impending doom, feelings that my heart rate had climbed erratically when it didn't ... just an overall bad, bad experience I'm having and I'm getting off Claritin immediately! I wouldn't risk taking this stuff... Go to your doctor and figure something out first before you buy OTC Claritin. Benedryl will probably be better, but only for taking it at bedtime. | M | 35 | 2 weeks 10 mg 1X day | 5/7/2013 | 1 | allergies | Ive developed anxiety issues while taking Claritin D. Cold sweaty hands, nausea, and erectile dysfunction. I tend to over do it a bit on caffeine pills because of the weird shifts I work, I'm sure the caffeine intake doesn't help at all. I've taken Cialis and Viagra both while taking Claritin D and they don't help at all. Does anyone know if non D allergy meds will have the same effect? I only need allergy pillsa couple of months per year thank God. | M | 37 | 7 days 12 hour | 4/30/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Dry mouth, palpitations, high blood pressure, nightmares, dizziness. | F | 47 | 10 days 1X day | 4/22/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Took night before and woke up with a violent jerk, and two nightmares in a row after I did sleep...but the next night, 1 hour after taking the once-daily Loratadine tablet, I woke up with a violent jerk again, started to doze off but then...shivering - at first I thought I was just cold. Put on a shirt and socks, but the shaking continued all over my body. Teeth chattering, pretty much every muscle in my body spasaming nearly out of control. Grabbed a thermometer just to check if I had a fever or was cold - and a perfect 98 degrees. | I didn't put 2 and 2 together until TODAY, as this has happened once before - but ONLY when taking Claritin generic. Twitching all over you body is scary as hell, and I would never take Claritin again no matter what !! | M | 36 | 30 days 10 mg 1X day | 4/21/2013 | 1 | Allergy symptoms | Within an hour of taking Claritin I was freezing and shaking uncontrollably. I was so thirsty and no amount of water quenched my thirst. My arms, legs, and neck ached and I felt like I had the flu. My heart was racing and felt like it was skipping a beat every so often. I fell asleep for awhile and then woke up sweating profusely. I had a constant feeling of needing to urinate. I felt very dizzy and after using the bathroom I was walking back to the couch and passed out. I woke up on the floor, flat on my face with blood coming out of my nose and a cut on my forehead. I felt like I was going to die! I was able to get myself to bed (I know...I should have called 911) and was feeling a bit better. The next day I still felt weak and had stomach pains, bloating, and felt dehydrated. I constantly felt like I needed to pee but couldn't. Now, 48 hours later, I feel much better but still not totally back to normal. I will not be taking Claritin again but my husband and son take it with no iss | F | 47 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 4/16/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Strange wooziness. Room moving and almost like I was about to pass out. Constant deep breaths trying to fill lungs that felt starved for air. Out of body/reality sensations. Insomnia. | When will I ever learn? I've got to stop giving in to fear and using pharmacueticals. They have taken years off my life with horrible side effects that frighten and destroy. Oh, and this drug did nothing for my allergies. | F | 52 | 4 days 10 1X day | 4/15/2013 | 1 | allergies | dizziness, nosebleeds,feeling like I was going to pass out | Thought there was something else wrong with me, then I realized I was taking claritin. Not recommended. | F | 46 | 14 days 10MG 1X day | 4/14/2013 | 2 | nasal drip | Crying for no reason/emotional with no other reason I could point to but the addition of claritin as instructed by allergist. Will try the addition of this drug again to see if it really was the cause. To be fair it might have interacted with other drugs I take for night shift disorder. I did not see these emotional side effects listed on official Claritin warnings. | F | 41 | 6 days 30 mg 2X day | 4/2/2013 | 2 | Seasonal alergies | Depression, random crying, irritable | M | 14 | 15 days 10 MG 1X day | 3/24/2013 | 1 | severe allergy | insomnia bad headaches fast heart beat | hate it the worst u can take, it controlled my allergy symptoms but side affects were greater . never again i hate it made my life horrible | F | 37 | 3 days 10 1X day | 3/18/2013 | 1 | Congestion | Anger,aggression,anxiety,agitation,impotence | I took Claritin D as directed by my doctor to help with residual sinus infection congestion. On the second day, noticed extreme irritability and aggression which I never have. Once I stopped, the symptoms disappeared within 24hrs. I was surprised by my reaction and will never take again. The pharmaceutical companies under-report side effects. | M | 38 | 5 days 240mg 1X day | 3/12/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Bothered stomach bad hip pain nausea heartburn body aches headaches. Thus is a bull sheet Med. I hate it and it should not be given to n e one. I am off it as of tomorrow. Took last pill. Bull shit how I feel bad when its supposed to help me. | F | 28 | 4 days 10 mg | 3/11/2013 | 1 | to stop my nose from dripping | I was trying to get over a very bad sore throat and wanted to stop my nose from dripping back...I was breathing great barely blowing my nose until I took the Claritin!!! And now I can't breath at all threw my nose and now I'm dripping threw my nostrils! How irritated I am right now....help can't breath!!! | F | 28 | 1 days 10 mg | 3/7/2013 | 2 | allergies | I'd rather sneeze up a stop before I take Claritin ever again. I've been sick to my stomach, and my stomach has been making odd noises. I can not poop. every time I take an allergy pill, I can never go number 2. I'm so scared and never taking this again. also when I breathe it feels like I'm chocking, and my chest is killing me like someone is on top of me.... everything aches. back, neck, ribs, chest, head, everything. I feel like I have been run over by a truck. and it all started when I started taking the pills. maybe I'm allergic? I don't know..... | F | 14 | 3 days 30 | 1/26/2013 | 4 | Allergies | Tight chest, difficult to take in large amounts of air, irritable, moody, slowed mental ability, poor memory, depression and anxiety immediately when going off. | This stuff works very well as an antihistamine but the side effects aren't worth it for me. Going back to Allegra. | M | 50 | 14 days 10mg 1X day | 12/30/2012 |
