 1  stuffy itchy ear and nose I have taken three of these tablets, and have very very dry mouth, general sick feeling, nausea and loss of appetite. I will never use this drug again. I was happy to read this, because I was not sure what was wrong with me. I am using Wal-itin D F 70 3 days

 4  Post nasel drip constant, coughing Using this for about 45 days now. I did have a spell of time where I could not sleep well, but that has pasted in the last 3 weeks. I did not want to eat for some time, in the last 3 weeks I am able to eat a little more. I have no sense of taste to very little. I am not sure if I can blame this on the Claritin. I am a person who has reactions to many meds. However I do not think this is bothering me enough to be a problem. I am not sure I want to take this for ever and may look for some thing else. My Dr. wanted me to take Singlar, the cost to me was going to be $133.00 and I think that was 30 day supply. So cost wise this is great. I really can not afford a more expensive medication. So I am happy with this. Sorry for all of you who can not take this med. By the way the constipation I have it but an taking 2 stool softners a day to cure that, before doing so I did have stomach cramps. M 69 45 days

 1  Allergic Rhinitis ANOSMIA. I lost my sense of smell. I stopped the drug and 6-8 weeks later my sense of smell returned. Although it works to decongest my nose, so do other products. They have never caused anosmia. I am a Physician and would recommend this product with reservations and recommend the patient read the side effects carefully. I'd recommend an older, well-studied antihistamine be tried instead. Newer is not better: look at all the drugs taken off the market the last 20 years F 68 30 days

 1  allergy control numbness in fingers and toes, pain in joints, irritability, urinary problems, hair loss My neighbor mentioned to me she had finger numbness and bruising when using Claritin 24. It went away when her physician took her off of it. I too had pain, numbness and swelling (no bruising) which started after a few months of use. After talking with her, I discontinued use five days ago and these problems are gone. I also now realize I was terribly angry, had negative thoughts and was irritable all the time (as my wife continually told me). These thoughts and actions appear to have vanished. I also had problems urinating and this problem seems to have subsided somewhat. I hope no damage was done and that this problem also totally disappears. I also experienced hair loss on my arms and legs this past year and hope some will grow back. I assumed that all these problems were due to old age as they gradually crept up on me this past year. In fact most (if not all) were related to this product. Unbelievable that the manufacturer gets away without mentioning all these side effects. I also heard this week that researchers on this drug were surprised that it was even approved. PS - it did control my allergy but for approximately 18 hours, not 24. M 64 1 years

 1  allergies rapid heart beat, insomnia, pressure in ears, shortness of breath, lack of appetite, shakes like alcoholics get This is my 3rd and last day of this med. I started with 1 24-hr tablet but felt like I was on speed. Day 2 and 3 I cut it in half, but the racing heartbeat and pressure in my ears has convinced me that it's dangerous. It did stop my sneezing and congestion, but this drug is not for me. I can't believe they sell it over the counter. It should only be prescribed by an M.D. F 63 3 days

 1  sinus infection/seasonal allergies COULD NOT sleep. Heart rate went to 92. Almost 12 hours later it is just down to 83. Severe ringing in ears. Spaced out feeling. No appitite. Have taken this drug before and it caused jittery feeling and no sleep but this is the worst I have ever felt on this drug. I woud think that if you have undiscovered heart problems, you could be in trouble! Please do NOT take this drug. Makes you feel extremely lethargic.....AND at the same time completly aware of everything that is going on......at the same time. I have been taking this drug for flu/allergy/sinus symptoms for week and one half. Also VERY bloated which is odd because you really don't feel like eating anything. F 63 1 weeks

 1  springtime allergies Like others have noted, I also had a frightening experice with anxiety, mood swings and depression. I never have problems sleeping but found myself waking 2-3 times a night. I also had loss of appetite, dizziness, and inability to concentrate well. I didn't notice any significant improvement in my congestion, but even if I had, I don't think the side effects would have been a worthwhile tradeoff. I learned a valuable lesson and will not take this again. F 62 10 days

 2  Wasp sting It was recommended by a nurse that I take Claritin to reduce the swelling in my entire right arm due to a wasp sting five days ago. I took the Claritin 24 hour pill this morning at about 8 am and 12 hours later my jaw is clenched and I am grinding my teeth which is the same effect that crystal meth had on me when I used to take that illegal drug in my youth. I will not take Claritin again. I took it because I didn't want the drowsy side effects of Benadryl which is the other OTC recommended by the nurse employed by Blue Cross. M 60 1 days

 5  Very bad allergies all year long. I didn't realize the things I am experiencing were from Claritin D until I went to this website. Cramps in my feet, chills, major loss of appetite, and ocassionally feel like I have a low grade fever. I also feel a bit lethargic and have experienced a low libido - which is starting to affect my marriage. However, the medicine did what it was suppose to do with my allergies. I need to get off of this medicine - but its the only one that really helps my allergy symptoms. However, I don't feel I can continue with these types of side affects. F 59 365 days

 3  rashes-allergic reaction to the sun rapid heart beats, high blood pressure, insomnia, almost passing out, breaking out in sweat, tired all the time. I took Claritin-D for 3 days. The rashes are gone but I could fall asleep for only an hour or two each day. Yesterday, I though I was going to die because all of a sudden, my heart raced like crazy and I broke out in sweat. I started seeing stars around me and I almost passed out several times. It lasted for about two hours. Now I feel so tired. I was going to the doctor before I decided to check the internet for side effects and I'm glad I did. I'll never take it again. I hope it didn't cause any permanent damage to my heart. F 59 3 days

 1  congestion, sneezing insomnia, agitation, constipation, blurring vision Dr recommended. I am up in the middle of the night after taking dose in late PM. Had taken one two days ago and had some side effects, but did not connect with taking medication. Still having itching eyes, sneezing, so has not helped much with symptoms. Will not take again as cannot work well after not sleeping and being jumpy and agitated. F 59 2 days
