Doctor recommended Claritin D as a decongestant to open up my sinuses and help the ear infection pass quicker. it made my symptoms WORSE. I've been dizzy, naseuas, I've had no appetite, I've been jittery, my heart is racing, and my mouth has never been so dry. It has not affected my sleep though, but it's been annoying to go from feeling better to feeling worse once starting this medication. | F | 20 | 10 days 30Mg | 2/8/2016 | 3 | Nasal congestion cant breath | I have been taking claritin for about 10 months.The only side effects I have gotten from this simI have lost my appetite some.It doesn't clear my nasal passages out all the way.If I don't take it I still cant breath. | breathy agree with the other post.There are alot of stupid people out there that had to go and ruin it for alto of people that have to take claritin for allergies.So people like me and everyone else has to sign for it at the pharmacy every 10 days.And you cant even get it the day before.My sister tried to get it the day before and they wouldn't give it to her.She had to wait till the next days far as I know she hasn't had any problems taking the claritin.They need to change the way they sell claritinD.So those that have ruined it for me and everyone else have a much harder time trying to buy it and or cant buy it at all.One of these days they may take claritinD 12 hours and the the other claritind of the market for good Because of those stupid ignorant people that have ruined for everyone. | F | 56 | 10 months 5mg | 11/4/2015 | 3 | To stop itching my eczema | Extreme dry mouth , chills and rapid heart rate. | My Doctor recommend I take Claritin to help with the itch caused by my eczema. While it has stopped the itch - I'm covered in goosebumps and have to drink about 500L of water to help with the dry mouth - which leads so having to use the washroom ever 20 mins. Not sure its worth the side efforts. | F | 28 | 1 months 1 1X W | 9/10/2015 | 5 | Nasal congestion | Slight rise in heart rate. | Great product. My sinuses get really clogged. Sometime the Claritin D doesn't even clear my stuffed up nose all the way. When that happens I eat (2) cloves raw garlic and then I'm 100% again. Try it, as garlic is the best natural decongestant there is. :) | M | 50 | 12 hr 1X D | 8/3/2015 | 1 | Allergies | jittery, shakes, panic attacks, sick on stomach, made me feel like I was having a heart attack, no appetite, nervous | worked on sinuses the side effects are not worth it will never take again! | F | 47 | 3 days 1 x a day | 6/24/2015 | 1 | allergies, persistent stuffy nose | I feel horrible! I almost gave this to my 14 year old daughter to help with her allergies. SO so glad I didn't! Heart is racing, jittery, headache, took it 3 hours ago and I feel like I'm on some illegal street speed. | F | 56 | 1 days 1 pill 1X O | 6/21/2015 | 2 | stuffiness | OMG! No sleep at all! The worst insomnia! I took the 12hr pill at 11pm BIG mistake & I was a little itchy. It did open up my nose so I was able to breathe so maybe I'll try taking it at about 4:00p if that doesn't work I'm trashing these pills. | F | 28 | 1 days | 6/20/2015 | 1 | Clogged ear and sinus drip | Horrible can't sleep extremely dry mouth and stomach pain with nausea and vomiting dizziness and light headed and can't poop | Don't take make u you feel like your on drugs lose of appetite have to force myself to eat just to throw it up from gagging | F | 37 | 4 days | 6/4/2015 | 1 | Allergy&Congestion | Metallic taste and smell. Increase appetite, hot flashes, shortness of breath. | Do not take. | F | 28 | 3 days | 5/20/2015 | 1 | post nasal drip | Hand tremors and paraesthesia and jittery leg also loss of apetite | I first took single dose of clarinase since 3 months it caused tremors in my hand and i stopped taking it yesterday i decided to take it again and 6 hours after that i had numbness and jittery legs also jittery hands I will never take it again | F | 47 | 1 days 10 mg | 4/30/2015 | 2 | Sinus issues, congestion | I took this for the first time last night at 9pm. I should have read the warnings before I took this at night. My side effects were/are insomnia, chills (with goosebumps), stomach upset, extremely jittery, and feeling like I've had a bad allergic reaction. As much as I hate having constant sinus issues, dealing with those symptoms are way better than feeling like this! | F | 43 | 1 days 1X D | 4/29/2015 | 5 | allergies and congestion | Possible increase in pulse, but could be anxiety from working 50 hours a week, and finishing up on my BA degree! | I went to the doctor because I didn't feel well, my pulse was high, so she took me off ClaritinD. I started taking Claritin without D 4-days ago, now I am sick, nose stuffy and running, headache. Sneezing and lethargic. I only take 12-hr once daily on the morning and it worked well. I slept at night except when my hormones act up. This sucks! | F | 51 | 10 years 1-12 hour | 4/19/2015 | 1 | Post nasal Drip | Sadness,feeling itcy,can't sleep at night | I was recommened this by the pharmacist for my throat for post nasal drip after my antibiotic was done.It was awful I felt like I was flying.This should not be a OTC med. | F | 51 | 2 days 250 mg 1X D | 4/9/2015 | 3 | allergies | I recently started taking this pill. Today in school, I started having the worst stomach cramps and my stomach was making weird noises. A lot of people said that they have insomnia, but I had no problem with it. It did help my allergies a lot though. | Recommend | F | 14 | 1 days about 240 mg | 4/1/2015 | 5 | Allergies, extreme sinus congestion | Sleeplessness, wake up multiple times throughout the night | First off, I must say Claritin D 24 hr has been a MIRACLE cure for my horrific sinus congestion, enflamed nasal passages, relentless sneezing and constantly running nose. Despite the sleeplessness, I would not give up my Claritin D. To be honest, I slept horribly without the Claritin D anyway. At least with it I'm able to breathe. My nose is completely clear and it is wonderful to be able to breathe through my nose as if I had no allergies at all. I've been taking the pills at night which may be part of the sleeplessness issue, so I'm going to try taking it in the morning instead. Regardless, I absolutely love Claritin D. It's the only allergy medication that truly cures all my symptoms. | F | 26 | 3 days 24 hr | 3/26/2015 | 2 | Post nasal drip, runny nose | Insomnia, racing heart, Nausea | Took one 12 hr pill at 10pm. Woke up at 1.30am to racing heart, nausea and feeling like I was on what I would imagine speed to feel like. It's now 3am and still wide awake. | F | 32 | 1 days | 3/11/2015 | 1 | Sinus congestion | Horrible insomnia dry throat | This might have cleared my sinuses but I rather be congested than being wide awake at night I'm awake typing this right now and it 3 in the morning and I have school tomorrow and it's finals week!!!!!!! I'm not even tired but I want to sleep I don't want to take it again because some people say they had suicidal thought :( | M | 16 | 1 days | 3/10/2015 | 1 | allergies post nasal drip | First pill racing heart, anxious and have not slept it's like someone is holding my eyes open this is terrible! ! | F | 32 | 1 days | 3/8/2015 | 1 | Eustacian Tube Dysfunction | Terrible nightmares, insomnia, high anxiety, numbness and rapid heart beat. | Side effects were the worst on the first night but continued through the 4th day after I stopped taking it. Still feel a bit anxious after the 6th day. Was afraid I was having a heart attack as I felt a tightness in my chest as well as the palpitations. | M | 57 | 3 days 10 1X D | 2/25/2015 | 5 | Extreme weight loss. People called me anorexic. | 1 Claritin D 12 taken 5 days a week | F | 35 | 6 months 1X D | 2/7/2015 | 5 | Allergies, sinus, dry painful cough | Insomnia, loss of appetite, dry mouth Gained focus & sharpness (Crack at its max!!) | Damn you, ClaritinD!! I was sick for almost 6 months with severe allergies, painful dry cough, congestion, earache, flu-like symptoms. I started taking claritin D and by the end of the day, I felt I could breathe again and the sinus pressure/congestion was gone! I kept taking it for a week, and by the end of the week almost all my symptoms were gone. I did pay the price, though- this little pill not only kept me up every night, but also gave me a terrible dry mouth, and I completely lost my appetite. So I lost a few pounds, gained sharpness, and lost some sleep- not too bad, if you ask me!! | F | 36 | 10 days 1 | 1/30/2015 | 1 | congestion | insomnia, difficulty urinating | M | 61 | 2 days 1 12hr tab 1X D | 1/26/2015 | 4 | constantly stuffed up but not aller | Nothing | If I do not have this I cannot breathe through my nose it is horrible and impossible to live without it. The thing I hate the most is I can only buy a small amount so I'm constantly at the pharmacy, I get cut off if I buy too often because some Aholes have to ruin it for everyone & make drugs out of it! Fucking annoying! I have no health insurance so it's costing me a tom also. :( | F | 31 | 3 years | 1/6/2015 | 1 | Clogged Ears, Allergies | This drug helped somewhat with my congestion and allergies, and it gave me extra energy. Unfortunately, I had difficulty with sleep on this drug, and then after taking it for about 2.5 weeks, I became very depressed and unable to control my emotions, which is very much unlike me. It took me almost two weeks to start feeling normal again, and I'm still not sure that I am totally back to myself. | I am sure that not everyone will have the same experience that I did, but I wouldn't want anyone to risk it. This was one of the worst experiences of my life. | M | 36 | 17 days 1X D | 1/6/2015 | 5 | severe sinus drainage | No side effects. | This is the only medicine that ever works for my severe sinus problems. I take regular Claritin on a daily basis but when I get a cold I get bad drainage that makes me cough and the spit out phlegm. I have anxiety and I feel very calm on this medicine. I hate to say it but you can't take other peoples word on everything. Each person is different. I like to breathe through my nose. Which is impossible without this medicine. I only use it when I get a bad cold or severe drainage that even antibiotics can't get rid of. I highly recommend this product. It works. If you have other problems I'd recommend talking to your Dr first. | F | 34 | 2 years 10 ng | 12/10/2014 | 1 | To relive sinus headaches | Can't sleep at all, jitteriness in my legs and arms, racing heart with any move I make, extremely dry mouth | I took this about 8 pm and am still feeling the effects at 2 am | F | 16 | 1 days 120 MG | 12/5/2014 | 5 | Throat and Sinus Post Nasal Issues | No side effects | Immediate relief. I have been struggling with my throat and sinus issues that even affected my breathing I felt like I was choking for over 1 year multiple doctors, thought it was Acid Reflux causing issues. After taking Claritin D this was the first time in a long time I felt normal again I was so happy. I wanted to find a post somewhere to let other people that might have same issues. I'm going to try to use the minimum amount as needed but great results for me. | M | 49 | 1 days 5mg 1X D | 11/24/2014 | 2 | Sinus congestion, allergies | Warmth, insomnia, extremely difficult to urinate. | I will never take this drug again. | M | 57 | 1 days 1X D | 11/10/2014 | 3 | sinus congestion, runny nose | Shortness of breath, Coughing, Heart palpitations, Insomnia, Dry throat, Decreased Appetite | It did stop my nose from running and partially opened up my sinuses. | M | 27 | 2 days 1X D | 10/13/2014 | 2 | Allergies | It's making me feel really weird is this normal? | F | 19 | 1 days | 10/4/2014 | 1 | Severe sinus allergies | My dr said I could totally have this being pregnant. I held off until my allergies drove me crazy took a 24 hr Claritin d (not knowing it was stronger) at about 7:30 pm woke up at midnight feeling super jittery, anxious and itchy! I started freaking out and called the nurse hotline and of course they told me to go to the ER, now that I read so many people experienced these effects at least I know I'm not dying or crazy! NEVER AGAIN!! Feels like I'm on crack! Can't believe my dr and pharmacist would even recommend this to pregnant woman!! | F | 25 | 1 days | 9/16/2014 | 2 | Sinus congestion/infection | This is my very first experience with Claritin D 12 hrs. I felt at first a warmth sensation in my face and some tingly feeling under my face skin. Dry mouth, fast heart beat. | F | 38 | 1 days 1X D | 8/31/2014 | 4 | alergies | jimmy legs, goosebumps, cold clammy skin, insomnia, lack of appetite. | works great for my allergies, would not recommend for long periods. | M | 67 | 1 days 5 / 120 2X D | 8/23/2014 | 2 | nasal congestion | Worked o.k.for month or two then this box seems like they left the decongestant out of it.Also cause of a false positive for amphetamines on a drug screen. | M | 47 | 2 days 5 mg | 8/11/2014 | 2 | Sinus congestion, allergies | Horrible insomnia, as mentioned by several others. I did start taking this in the evening and for the last 2 days have not been able to sleep. My sinus pressure is gone, but now am suffering for 2 days with insomnia. Barely have slept for a few hrs. I have had some anxiety and feel like I had a red bull. Not planning to continue using this product. | F | 28 | 2 days 24hr | 5/12/2014 | 2 | Fluid in ear seasonal allergies | Dizzy, dry mouth, fatigue.. Withdrawl after stopping use. Nausea, jittery, anxiety. | F | 34 | 1 months 12 hr | 5/10/2014 | 1 | Allergies | Took 1 pill this morning. It's now been 8 hours. Can't function because so drowsy. Not hungry. What a waste of a beautiful sunny day. Would have rather dealt with allergies than this. | F | 44 | 1 days 30 mg | 5/10/2014 | 1 | Allergies | Dry mouth, not feeling myself out of it, not hungry. | F | 44 | 2 days 24 hr tabl | 4/17/2014 | 4 | Flu like symptoms | Bad insomnia and dizziness. | F | 14 | 3 days I pill | 2/5/2014 | 1 | Allergies. Runny nose, sneezing. | Extreme insomnia. I took 1 pill at 11:30 am, wanted to nap in the afternoon and couldn't fall asleep. I was up most of the night as well. Feeling restless, exhausted, lightheaded, depressed, spaced out. Yes my allergies are mostly gone but this is worse. I can barely function this morning, 22hrs after taking 1 pill. I'd rather have allergies! I will never take ClaritinD again! How can this be OTC? | F | 37 | 1 days 1 | 12/25/2013 | 1 | head cold doctor recommmended | Raising heart, can't sleep, extremlly upset and angery..which is from the pill. Itch all over. Feel sick to my stomach. Would rather be sick than feel like this. I'm sure this isn't helping my body rest...probably be exhausted tomorrow. Bad stuff. | F | 34 | 1 days 24 hour | 12/8/2013 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Insomnia, fatigue, tremor, anorexia, confusion, racing heart, headache, depressed mood,tingling fingers | I took this medication last night and I still feel awful. I would never want to take it again. Worst night of "sleep" in my life and I am sooo tired but can't even sleep to take a nap. I am so spaced out I can't even function. Allergies are gone, but who cares? I would rather have the allergies. Thank goodness I don't have to work until tomorrow; I could never function properly with this stuff! | F | 28 | 1 days 1X D | 10/13/2013 | 4 | nasal run, sneezing 27 years | Started taking for a cough with congestion I could not get rid of as a prescription from my dr. Turns out, the medicine she prescribed was what it had needed for the past 27 years of my life. Cleared up the cough I had for 6 months, and my nose completely quit running. Yes, I feel like I'm on speed. I have mild insomnia, due probably also to my work patterns as well. I do have a bit of appetite loss. And if you don't force yourself to eat, you will feel the full effect of the speed. And I'm really surprised I had not seen anyone mention an increased sexual appetite, or pleasure. I would recommend this to anyone with a legitimate reason to take it. Since it is OTC with signature, it's not for everyone . | F | 28 | 10 days | 9/29/2013 | 5 | I had sinus and therefore headaches | So for me the first day after 10 minutes of taking it I immediately felt my head clearing up but felt a little spaced out so went to bed. The second day and from that day on I feel great. No more sinus no more headaches . I never felt so focused before . Living w sinus pressure and like u can't think or so anything is the worst. I had no idea I had been living w such head fog all this time and for the first time my brain felt clear and I was able to to think. I'm not kidding . I also feel like I'm so sharp , I'm focused and finish my tasks . I also have energy I can clean my house for hours. I got a little worried that this drug is so great . So I asked my "date " who is a doctor if this is bad . He told me not to worry abt it but just to know if I stop taking it Iay b more congested for about 2 days until my body adjusts... Oh so I love this magic pill.... I just say take it if u need it don't take it for other reasons .... And yes it curves appetite but I remind myself to eat my 3 meals bc I believe if u don't eat at all it can't be good And it can slow ur metabolism so they day u stop taking the pill a d u get hungry again and start eating u will gain weight faster. So I eat but healthy bc due to the pill I don't feel like having big meals. I have lost abt 5 pounds .. | F | 34 | 1 months 240 mg | 6/29/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Lightheaded, foggy, dizzy, jittery, racing hear beat, feeling "spaced out", just not myself. I feel drunk! I will NEVER take this again. I will stick to regular Claritin or better yet, regular Zyrtec. | F | 41 | 1 days 1X D | 5/3/2013 | 3 | Allergy & Sinus | Light headed, racing heartbeats, nervousness, exhausted and cant sleep, sweating, moody, hot flash. Increase sex drive. Does clear up my sinus,helps allergy a little. | F | 42 | 1 days 10/240 | 4/30/2013 | 2 | Allergies | The first day I took Claritin I felt great. The next day it did wonders again, but after three days it didn't help tremendously like it did before. On the fourth day I had another, this time it had no affect on my allergies. After I got home from school I was suffering so I took another. Within a hour or so I started to feel the anxiety I've had for the last 2 days get unbearable, I was having suicidal thoughts. Never in my life have I had such an urge to kill myself, it was the scariest mindset I've ever had... | I've stopped taking Claritin and I'm feeling normal again. I'm just happy I told my family what was going on in my head, I don't think I'd be here right now if they weren't watching me. | M | 18 | 4 days 10 mg 1X D | 4/6/2013 | 3 | severe congestion | DRY MOUTH!! | Clatirin-D definitely helped with my congestion, but I had such a bad dry mouth that I know after just one day of using it that I will NOT continue. I have never had dry mouth and I feel like no matter how much water I drink it will never quench this feeling. I will not be continuing on even if my symptoms are equally intolerable. | F | 22 | 1 days 12 hour 1X D | 3/1/2013 | 5 | Alergies | Over all nothing I cant live with. Occasional hot flash, some but little dizziness and if I take it in the evening rather than morning it can effect my sleep. I actually feel tired now if I don't take it. I think you just get use to it and the harsher side effects subside. Never had a problem with my sex life or any nose bleeds. I do feel like my blood pressure rises a bit at times. Most of these symptoms come from the non drowsy part of the drug. | With this drug being used to make Meth I often wonder if my dental problems are linked to taking this drug? | M | 47 | 7 years 10mg/24hr 1X D | 12/5/2012 | 4 | year round indoor outdoor allergies | Dehydration, dry mouth head rushes from sitting to standing | F | 40 | 1 months 24hr | 8/13/2012 | 1 | allergies | anxiety, insomnia, irritability and depression. | I didn't realize it was the medicine making me feel so awful. I have never suffered from anxiety before, but this made me realize how bad it must be for people who do. The anxiety made me so depressed that I even had some suicidal thoughts. It took my wife to figure out that it was the medication as I was too wrapped up in anxiety and lack of sleep in the medication to figure it out. I stopped taking it and after the dose wore off began to immediately feel like myself again. Due to this experience I personally think that anything containing pseudoephedrine should only be available by prescription. If you have any of these issues stop taking it immediately. | M | 37 | 7 days 1X D | 8/10/2012 | 5 | sever allervies | I love this stuff. I did have a problem sleeping for the first couple of days but it all leveled out and I can finally breathe. Nothing else worked and I am thrilled to have some relief. I have also lost about 20 pounds over the last year. Which is good since I was overweight anyway. I would recommend this product to anyone. Just give it a whole week for your body to adjust. | F | 28 | 2 years 24 ht | 6/12/2012 |
