| 3 | Excessive head congestion | I have taken it for 22 years and have completely dry skin and rarely sleep more than 4 hours per day. Also, I have had problems breathting and suffer from arthritis severly in my hands, knees, legs and neck. Thanks a lot Claritin-D for I do breath better as a cripple. | 22 years | 8/6/2007 | 2 | Allergies, nasal congestion | CONSTIPATION!!!, hyperactivity, goose-bumps, chills, irritation | Ten years ago I was one of a couple thousand test cases with Claritin because of my severe allergies. It wasn't until recently that I had to start taking it again. I noticed the lack of stool at first but it didn't really bother me because I could breathe. Recently however I've been more backed up than ever before. I've changed my diet, taken lots of fiber, and nothing has worked. It wasn't until I read this site that it all made sense. | M | 4 months | 6/4/2007 | 1 | sinusitus, draining | Extreme depression after a few days. Very dangerous. definitely affects the moods. Be careful. | Had to quit. Got so down that it didn't even matter if it worked or not. Come to think of it, I don't even know. | M | 7 days | 11/23/2008 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Have not slept in 72 hours!!!! This drug is worse than any thing i have ever done in my younger stupider days as a recreational drug user. Nervousness, elevated heart rate. | It did help my sinuses, but not worth the side effects by any means. In fact this stuff should be pulled off the market as I am about to lose my job which requires the utmost precision and skill. | M | 3 days | 3/29/2007 | 3 | sneezing | possible hyperness | I was told to give Claritin to my little boy by the doctor. I could not find Claritin D for children so I gave him the generic without Sudafed. Now, 2 years later after him being off of it for several weeks, I think the Loratadine was causing ADHD type behavior for the last 2 years. When Sudafed was added to it, he was calm, but if we forgot the Sudafed, he still had Loratadine in his system, and was a little wild man. He has had no allergy meds for 2 1/2 weeks and is calmer, but still sneezing. He also developed thick mucus in his throat a while after taking Loratadine and we have not been able to get it cleared up, even with Prednizone. | M | 7 | 2 years | 4/29/2008 | 4 | Flu like symptoms | Bad insomnia and dizziness. | F | 14 | 3 days I pill | 2/5/2014 | 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 | 1 | dust allergies | 15 yr. old son took it for allergies. Has asthma also. Took it last evening, about 24 hrs ago. Check him at 11:pm and he was very sweaty, hard to get him off the sofa to bed. Slept in very late this am, woke up very moody. Turn into a confrontation later in afternoon. Ended up with swearing and hitting me with an object. Then I looked up what others said, and think these symptoms were drug related as they were the most severe I've ever seen him. Wouldn't recommend this for anyone. | M | 15 | 1 days | 11/25/2007 | 1 | Aleergies, sinus head ache, | Very jittery. Still am right now though from it. Headache went away and so did sinus pressure and relieved itchy eyes. Feel as if im on some type of rush and very hyper yet im very tired. I wanna go around doing things very fast and i feel just horrible. I'd rather have my headache back. | My first time taking it. Took it about 10 hours ago.Still feelign side affects | F | 15 | 1 times | 9/29/2008 | 1 | Allergies | Dizzy Got the shakes. Light headed. Not hungry. Rapid heart beat. Nervous/anxiety. | It works great, but the side-effects freak me out. | M | 15 | 3 weeks 1X day | 7/24/2010 | 1 | seasonal allergies | My 16 yr. old son has been taking this for about a week. We couldnt figure out why he has been so angry.Thank god for this site as I can see others have had the same prob. he also is exper. cold sweaty hands. Without much relief for his allergies. | I think that Claritin should be a little more specific with their side effects. The side effects my son is experiencing far out way the relief (if any)he has gotten from this medication. | M | 16 | 7 days | 5/21/2009 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Allergies | Frequent urination, insomnia, headache, dizziness. Cannot sleep, and it's 5 am. | Don't take this, period. | M | 17 | 1 days | 5/5/2009 | 3 | Generic to severe allergies | Increased heart-rate, extremely tired/fatigued, occasional nausea | Googled trying to find a decent answer, with no luck on the subject. It does help with my allergies within about 30 minutes, but the side-effects make it very not-worth it. Finally realized it was this "non-drowsy" medicine... | M | 18 | 2 years | 11/28/2009 | 2 | hay fever, cats, dust etc. | I took Claritin-D for a while regularly (at least a year) and though I never really noticed any intense immediate side effects, over time I began to realize that my heart rate was elevated and intensified, though I never linked this to the drug. However, about a month ago I stopped taking Claritin because of technicalities (apparently you need a prescription in Oregon) and I noticed that my heart rate was much more normal (going from about 90 while on Claritin-D to around 60). I'm fairly certain that my blood pressure as well has decreased as I've begun to experience headrushes when standing up etc. Today I took Claritin-D for the first time in a while because my allergies are acting up and I managed to get a prescription and since yesterday my heart rate has increased considerably. Though it does wonders on my allergies, it is disturbing that it should affect my heart rate in this way and I think I am going to stop using the drug. | M | 18 | 2 years | 10/2/2009 | 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 day | 4/6/2013 | 4 | Very bad allergies | I took this medication for a few months about a year ago and had no side effects. But I have started it again 3 days ago. The first night I only got half an hour of sleep(but I also drank a soda about an hour before bed that night). The second night I was restless and woke up it seemed every time my boyfriend rolled over in bed. It's the third night and I slept soundly for about 4 hours before I woke up. After an hour and a half of trying to sleep again I gave up. | I am very tired right now, but besides the insomnia this medication has done wonders. I would like to say the benefits out way the side effects for me, but I'm sure if this continues after about a week I'll be delusional from the lack of sleep. On the positive side though, without it I suffered from horrible sinus headaches, stuffy nose and runny nose, sore throat, itchy and water eyes as well as back and neck aches. This medication has done wonders for those, and every other medication that helped my allergies made me so drowsy that I almost got fired once because my boss thought I was on drugs. I will try to take the medication on a different time of day and if that doesn't work I will switch to the 12 hour. | F | 19 | 3 days | 4/27/2009 | 3 | seasonal allergies | All my allergy symptoms are gone, but much like what others have said I feel very anxious and at sometimes even lightheaded. I've barely eaten all day, my heart is racing, and I've been wheezing and coughing all day. | This is the only allergy medicine that has completely gotten rid of my allergy symptoms (i.e. stuffy nose, itchy eyes and throat, etc.) but the side effects are not worth it. | F | 19 | 1 days 240 1X day | 4/25/2010 | 2 | Severe year round allergies | Loss of appetite(not consistent enough to be sure if its the drug or lack of effectiveness of drug), severe insomnia, dry mouth. | Yes I have been taking this drug since I was about 10, and I do know the box says you should be 12. That said. I used to work pretty good for me. I would take this and Pseudoephedrine together. After a few years neither really did much for me, though. So I stopped both, and started 2 prescription drugs instead. I would use Claritin-D 12hr occasionally(when I ran out of the scripts and had forgot to call them in) for short bits. All it really did though was keep my body from completely spazzing out. Recently(last month or so) I have no longer had either of my prescriptions so I went back to Claritin-D 12hr. I still experienced severe pressure in my head and bad nasal drainage. However, it mostly kept my eyes from itching, my nose ran a bit less, and prevented my mouth/lips from itching and breaking out. So it was better then nothing, but not great. Defiantly not a long term solution. | F | 19 | 9 years 2X day | 9/20/2011 |
