| 1 | For allergy | If you have ever had joint pain issues, this stiff will exacerbate it to the point where you may scream with pain as I did with one pill. My left knee blew up to the size of a grapefruit, unable to leave my bed. This is a horrible drug and this side effect should be listed on the box. Never again. Where is the FDA when we need them? | F | 67 | 1 days 24 hour | 4/9/2016 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | Insomnia, and a very odd sensation in my head . An overwhelming feeling of uneasiness.in my body and head. Two days later I had some wheezing, and pressure on my heart very odd I attributed it to Clartin | Clartin did stop my allergy symptoms, but the side effects are too much anything that has a mile long of side effects is not for me! I stopped after one pill. I going to see my naturopathic doctor and go with a more natural option that works with the body without all the side effect, | F | 3 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 5/31/2016 | 1 | seasonal allergies | I thought I was losing my mind I couldn't figure out why my arms were so weak and I was so weak and no energy,restless.

I only took one pill and the next day I thought I was losing my mind! I was irritable, snapping at my husband for no reason. I had horrible anxiety and even depression, which I've never had. I was so anxious, exhausted, foggy... It was horrible. My tongue and mouth hurt. I completely lost my taste the NEXT DAY. It's been three days and I still don't have it back. It's crazy one tablet did all this damage. I hope to feel normal soon! I've been researching side effects like crazy and found out in here that these things were happening to other people as well! | F | 27 | 1 days | 2/13/2017 | 1 | Son took it hayfever | My son had a panic attack, was jittery and paranoid. I will Never give it him again | M | 10 | 1 days 1 a day | 6/13/2020 | 1 | For bites that reacted | Took one Claritin this morning - by late morning v nauseous - then later v dizzy - light headed - strange feeling in limbs. Feeling out of my body - faint. Also dry mouth and nose and eyes. Struggling to find words and altogether feel weird. Hope to feel better in the morning ... | F | 57 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 8/3/2020 | 1 | Allergies | Claritin has given me the worst experience of my life . I had really bad allergies and thought maybe Claritin would help but after a few hours of taking it I had a panic attack and I didn't sleep the whole entire night because of it . I had very bad heart palpitations , nausea , everything bad you could possibly think of . My body went numb , and I became so tired . It's been a day already and I'm still having anxiety / panic attacks . I'm up at 2:27 AM right now because I can't sleep and I believe it's because of the Claritin still in my system . | F | 17 | 1 days 10MG 1X day | 7/5/2020 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | Anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings, depression. | Only took this medication once, and a few hours later I started experiencing heart palpitations, extreme anxiety, and depersonalization. Lasted for a few hours, and I almost had my girlfriend take me to the emergency room not realizing what the culprit was immediately. Anxiety and depression continued into the next day, though more mild. Horrible experience. | M | 25 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 7/30/2020 | 1 | Hayfever | Aggression and irritability | M | 13 | 1 days 2X day | 9/11/2020 | 1 | Seasonal allergies/decongestant | This is horrible!!! I took 1 pill it was the Claritin decongestant 24 hour (I had to show my ID behind the pharmacy desk to get them and now I know why) at 10am on Friday after my doc requested it and it now Sunday 10am and I'm still feeling the weird feeling... not as bad as yesterday but it's lingering. Read below: | It works great but I suppose coming down off this stuff is worse than the actual allergies. If you have anxiety DO NOT TAKE THIS... you'll thank me later. You'll have this weird fuzzy feeling like you awake or alive but disconnected from a reality... yesterday was worse so I've been drinking more than usual water to get this stuff out of my system. I guess it varies from person to person but I will never take this again in my life. When I got home last night from work and first thing I did was throw that crap away. | F | 39 | 1 days 1X day | 10/18/2020 | 1 | histamine | I took Claritin for histamine issues I took one about 1pm yesterday 26/10/20 next day I feel depressed anxiety no appetite to eat, flu symptoms, couldn't sleep, acid reflux, constipation, sick red rashes on my skin headaches chest pains , stomach pain how long does it stay in my system Want it gone drinking loads water get it out | Avoid it all costs | M | 30 | 1 days 10 1X day | 10/25/2020 | 1 | Allergies | Insomnia, excruciating joint pain, chest pain, racing heartbeat, nausea, anxiety | 62 | 1 days 5 1X day | 11/22/2020 | 1 | Allergies | Insomnia, anxiety, fast heart rate, chest pain, shakiness, weakness | I cannot believe how horrible a small dose made me feel. I'm up at 1am writing this because I can't sleep due to Claritin. My heart has been racing and I'm having panic attacks Everytime I try to go to sleep. I woke up shaky and dizzy with diarrhea. I can't wait for this to leave my system. Never again. | F | 34 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 5/19/2021 | 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. | M | 9 | 1 days 10 mg 1X day | 10/14/2022 | 1 | Allergy | Felt like throat was swelling. Weird headache that runs from from neck to top of head - which has a strange feeling, palpitations, sore chest, crawling under the skin. Presented to ER had CT Scans and MRI which were clear- didn't take Claritin again till today and bang symptoms are back never suspected Claritin | Be very careful- I would not have suspected this reaction | 60 | 1 days 10 1X day | 10/19/2022 | 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 10mg 1X day | 2/25/2023 | 1 | Allergies | Within an hour of taking Claritin, I started to feel angry out of nowhere. I was like that all day , it was horrible!! | F | 39 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 8/29/2022 | 1 | Allergies | Terrible insomnia, depression , mood swings, muscle tightness (soreness) and now on ongoing muscle twitch(spasm) 5 days later! | This drug should be taken off the market or at the very least labeled with big warnings. | F | 65 | 1 days 30 mg 1X day | 9/2/2022 | 1 | Cough, runny nose | I am so thankful I came across this website, I just gave my daughter Claritin 4 hrs ago, we were literally ready to take her to the hospital because she'll wake up crying hysterically out of nowhere, like if something is hurting or like if she's scared. She does not let me comfort, her she pushes me away and starts kicking when I try touching her. She only lets her dad hold her, I feel horrible. She's now asleep in her dads arms and I put relaxation music on. I hope this medicine wears off soon. I will NEVER give my baby this crap again. | F | 2 | 1 days 5ml 1X day | 11/21/2021 | 1 | Allergy | Horrible hour after got light headed that were away foggy all day .
