| 3 | allergies | stomach pain, anxiety, sore joints. | did help with allergies but my allergies are mild. not really worth it in my case. | M | 32 | 1 weeks | 5/6/2009 | 3 | allergies | diarrhea | I gave the liquid claritin to my 2 year old daughter for her runny nose. It did not completely stop the runny nose, but her nose did run less. she went from having thick yellow mucus to thin clear mucus. It worked better than the Zyrtec she was taking, but the diarrhea she had was unbearable. I stopped giving it to her and I am going to consult the pediatrician about alternatives. | F | 2 | 1 weeks | 5/2/2005 | 2 | Seasonal allergy, food allergy | After taking claritin together with betametasone for 1 week, I have experience numbness on limbs and face, chest tightness and slow heart rate. My heart rate is 100 plus but it dropped at 80 to 70. | M | 19 | 1 weeks 5 | 1/7/2015 | 2 | runny itchy eyes and nose,sneezing | The first day or two it worked great then fatigue and drowsiness started happening. I couldnt even stay awake to do my school work. Then things got weirder, leg pains, depression and generally feeling weird. I rather deal with my allergies! | F | 27 | 1 weeks 1omg 1X day | 9/16/2020 | 1 | Post nasal drip | I take one of these pills a day and I took one at night and an hour later I felt a burning pain in my abdomen and then threw up. I am currently up at 3:40 in the morning because I can't fall asleep. | F | 19 | 1 weeks 1X day | 7/31/2020 | 1 | Pollen Allergies | Huge Anxiety, depression! Light headed, dizzy. Burning feeling in sinuses. Burning severe headache upon wakening two mornings in a row. Shaky feeling, fast heartbeat. Overall feeling of unwellness, uneasiness. Been 24 hrs since last pill and I still don’t feel good, lightheaded/dizziness is gone. Never Again! Beware!! | Searched how long stays in system and supposedly 36-48 hours! I cannot wait!! This should not be OTC and taken off market! | F | 66 | 1 weeks 10 mg | 6/1/2019 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Anger. Figured as I'm small, perhaps a children's dose would help. This stuff just throws my mood into a tailspin. Thus is now the third time I've attempted Claritin, and same effect each time. | F | 35 | 1 weeks 5mg | 6/8/2016 | 1 | to avoid taking singulair | This drug made me crazy. Anxiety. Nervousness. Sleeplessness. I switched to claritin because I was having suicidal thoughts on singulair and I believe, it raised my blood pressure as well. I switched to ClaritinD to hopefully circumvent the suicidal thinking--even though it's not for asthma like the singulair. I knew after a week I couldn't continue to take it. Finding out it affected my blood pressure was an aside. My blood pressure, which was normally very low was sky high on both singulair and claritin. It may be the decongestants in both, but my blood pressure was very affected by both. I switched to allegra (generic) and nasonex--both drugs my mother takes. So far, so good. There's obviously a genetic link. What worked for her, has worked for me. And it's much less expensive than the singulair or veramyst or claritin that I was taking. And much less worrisome. And I sleep. Finally. I do think some people can take some drugs better than others. You have to do your h | F | 52 | 1 weeks | 9/26/2008 | 1 | allergies | seemed to make my allergies worst | would not recommend | M | 19 | 1 weeks | 5/15/2006 | 1 | Sinus Congestion | Mood swings, uncontrollable rage, anxiety attacks. | I experienced these symptoms for a week before suspecting Claritin. I thought at first it was a hormonal issue or even mental illness. I researched Claritin with mood swings and found this page. I stopped taking the medication nearly 36 hours ago and I feel so worn-down and tired, but feel like I am finally coming out of this scary episode. Where can I report this medication? It has the potential to be very dangerous, and they should print warnings about these side effects on the package. | F | 26 | 1 weeks 10 1X day | 3/19/2011 | 1 | allergies | I am so glad I found this site. I thought I was going crazy. My 10 year old son was on this for a week. I felt like someone had taken my boy away and replaced him. He was a constantly anxious, angry, depressed, obssessive-compulsive child. It was the scariest experience I have ever had. He was even hitting himself in anger. I will never use this medicine again. | M | 10 | 1 weeks 10 mg 1X day | 10/25/2011 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none | It helped to get rid of my runny nose. Now at work I don't have to keep running to the bathroom for Kleenex anymore. I can breathe easier. | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 4/2/2006 | 4 | SINUS AND ALLERGY PROBLEMS | THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT... IT HELPED WONDERFULLY. MADE MY CONGESTION AND HEADACHE GO AWAY JUST AFTER 2 HOURS OF INGESTION. NOW 2 WEEKS LATER I FEEL MUCH BETTER AND IT HAS SUPRESSED ALL MY ALLERGY SYMTOMS. | ALSO, STOPPED ITCHY THROAT AND EYES. | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 5/2/2005 | 4 | Seasonal Allergies | Fatigue, no matter how much sleep i got, it seemed like i needed more. Always felt tired and was going to bed earlier and earlier every night while taking claritin. Felt like i was getting deeper sleep but never felt refreshed, just more tired. I never get headaches but while on claritin i seemed to get them regularly. I always drink lots of water so i never noticed the dry mouth or constant thirst feeling. Definitely more irritable. | This stuff works..i have absolutely no symptoms of my allergies, im mean nothing, no runny or congested sinuses, no sneezing, no teary or itchy eyes, nothing i thought it was a miracle drug until i started realizing the side effects and how it was affecting my life and overall attitude. Still not sure if the side effects im going through are worth the allergy relief. | M | 29 | 2 weeks | 5/8/2007 | 4 | Severe allergies | Ummm stopped sneezing, runny nose slowed, itchy eyes gone, and oh yeah sinus relief | Alright i took way higher doses than most here and you know what makes me moody, irritated, maybe even feel a little rage.....ALLERGIES! Come on people these side effects that are being listed are crazy, ive taken this in the past when i was younger and still nothing. Maybe when you mix it with lots of other meds(which it appears most of you must be on) maybe then there is an effect otherwise something else is medically wrong with most of you. I could go on and on and make fun alot of posts but i do not have the time, besides I wouldn't want anyone to think i am experiencing rage from taking the pill LOL | M | 28 | 2 weeks 240 MG 1X day | 4/14/2011 | 4 | allergies | Wondering if it causes, heat flashes, night sweats??? Thought I was starting menopause, but all of my adult kids,ages 27,28,29, have these symptoms too, as we all started Clartin at the exact same time . Shakiness. | But it has worked! I was sneezing and had red itchy eyes that was out of control. We have a cotton wood tree that is SNOWING cotton now and it will be this way for a few weeks...All of my allergy symptoms have stopped. I have turned up the air condition and been sure to not have an empty stomach so the side effects have leveled off. | F | 51 | 2 weeks | 5/22/2008 | 3 | Seasonal allergies | bad headache, ringing in my ears, sharp stomach pains like ulcer pains, light heartburn, increased anxiety (this seems odd, but I think its really due to the clariton) | worked very well on the allergy symptoms. Now I take one 24 hr pill every other day to cut down on the ear ringing, sharp stomach pains and bad headaches but still get rid of some of the bad allergy symptoms. Its hard to measure how much the anxiety is changed by taking less. | M | 42 | 2 weeks | 5/10/2008 | 3 | Allergy | sever depression, anger for nothing | I was taking claritin because of my allergy. The depression was getting on me and make me feel. Since last week I had been crying every night for nothing. Good thing I found about this website, and I stop taking it. | F | 22 | 2 weeks 2 TSP 1X day | 10/30/2010 | 3 | Seasonal Allergies | WOW, the thing I noticed the most was extreme coldness and numbness in my toes. I had blood work done to check out that problem. I stayed feezing the the late afternoon/bedtime. So cold that my kids and husband didn't want me to even touch them. Then at bedtime, couldn't sleep, woke up in a sweat, couldn't cool off. Had allot of trouble getting back to sleep. I am taking allegra and it is working sooo much better. | Worked ok but the side effects weren't worth it. | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 5/4/2005 | 3 | allergeries | VIVID ongoing dreams. Never have experienced ANYTHING like it. My face is also puffy, not sure if this is related or not. | It sure cleared up my head but, the dreams just are not worth it. What a shame !!!! | F | 42 | 2 weeks | 5/12/2004 |
