| 5 | Allergy | F | 41 | 3 months | 5/15/2001 | 5 | stuffy nose | A little drowsy when you first take it. | Awesome. For allergy relief and clearing stuffy nose this drug is the bomb. I love it. It has truly improved the quality of life 100% I just hope I can continue taking it for a long time. | M | 31 | | 2/1/2002 | 2 | seasonal allergies | insomina & joint pains. I take it around 6 am & 6 pm. I will go to bed around 9 pm. wake up around midnight & cannot go back to sleep. my joints (knees & hands especially) ache. | I have only taken this drug for 3 days & am calling my doctor tomorrow. I will leave with the runny nose & breathing difficulties if it means getting a normal nights sleep! | F | 42 | 3 days | 6/27/2002 | 1 | year round allergies | Nothing..the drug did absolutely nothing to me. Taking a sugar pill probably would have had similar effects. I stopped taking it because it provided me NO relief from symptoms. Having much better luck on zytec. | F | 27 | 1 years | 6/28/2002 | 5 | seasonal allergies | energy boost, slightly hyper reaction initially, then ok | Formerly I took Seldane-D for my allergies, so when that drug was discontinued, I had to find something. My spring allergies were horrific; I went through boxes of tissues and couldn't leave the house for 3 days, things were so bad. We even bought an air cleaner. Living in the DC area at spring blossom time is the worst. Finally my doctor prescribed Claritin-D, and it's a completely different situation for me. I've tried regular Claritin with next to no results. | F | 43 | 3 years | 7/8/2002 | 3 | Allergies | Tremendous Constipation | I am not sure If the side effect is worth the cure. However, sinus drainage and allergies are improved. | F | 52 | 7 days | 9/7/2004 | 4 | seasonal allergies | Constipation, fatigue, aching legs and shoulders, insomnia | Although Claritin takes care of the allergy problem, the side effects are horrific for me. I will try to find something else soon. | F | 43 | 3 months | 9/21/2004 | 1 | allergies | Insomina, I do not think I ever got to sleep. I will deal with the allergies instead!! | F | 49 | 1 days | 9/28/2004 | 4 | Allergies | extremely dehydrated, HYPER, Insomnia, no appetite | Ok, this medicine is one of the few medicines that actually took all my allergy problems away. However, I could only take the 12 hour from, and had to make sure to take it by 7am, so that I could sleep at night. Very strange side effects. I usually way being able to breath versus the side affects. | F | 30 | 7 months | 10/19/2004 | 5 | allergies | No side effects | I could not get by without this drug. I have a lot of airborne allergies; dust, mold, pollens. I used to be miserable much of the time. Now that only happens if I forget to take it. | F | 49 | 2 years | 11/19/2004 | 4 | Dust, Grass, mold, everything | With 24hr Claritin-D, Dry mouth the fist 2 days, taken at lunch every day so rarely experienced hyperactivity or sleepiness. Works great for a two weeks in a row then stops so I stop taking a few days then take again for a two weeks. | Relieves all stuffy nose and drainage in throat. Complete resolution of allergy symptoms. | M | 31 | 1 years | 1/19/2005 | 3 | severe allergies and congestion | Rectal bleeding, likely from constipation | I unfortunately had to stop taking the claritan d because of serious rectal bleeding. I hated to stop because it cleared up my sinuses and worked better than any allergy medicine I've ever taken. | F | 31 | 30 days | 2/10/2005 | 4 | allergies | Difficulty with sleeping | LOVE how it works. Trying to determine if time of day will affect the sleeping problem. | F | 42 | 4 years | 3/8/2005 | 5 | Allergies, nasal congestion | Sometimes my muscles ache- legs, shoulders, arms. But I noticed that only happens if I am not drinking enough water. Drink at least 8 glasses of water if this happens to you and it goes away. | I can't live without it. But I was afraid of what effects, if any, long-term usage had on the human body. I haven't come across any info about negative long term effects in my internet searches though. I did notice on this site that many have been using Claritin-D for long periods of time without any problems. Sometimes I go off to give my body a rest from it but always need to go back on and usually within a day or two, three. | F | 49 | 6 months | 3/12/2005 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | Sore, tight muscles after mild / moderate exercise. Fatigue and lack of motivation. While running I would stop at a road crossing and would have zero desire to start again when the road was clear (not typical for me). I was so sore and tight that I could not perform my usual stretching routine. | The sypmptoms went away within days after not taking Claritin-D. I noticed that I actually felt better when I stopped I was told to stop taking all allergy meds the week prior to having allergy tests performed. Later the problems went away when I stopped taking Claritin-D permanently. | M | 37 | 4 weeks | 3/26/2005 | 1 | allergies | severe depression and lack of motivation, tight muscles during and after work out, loss of sleep/insomnia | worst medication ever. will never take it again. | F | 19 | 1 days | 4/6/2005 | 4 | sinus, sneezing, itchy nose & eyes | Highly fatigue with drowsiness and muscle tightness in thighs and lower abdomen. I thought it could be menstrual cramps due to the muscle pain or pregnacy due to the drowsiness, but its not either (timing is off.) | In spite of the side effects Claritin-D 12hour relieved me of sinus pain and seasonal allergies like upper nasal itchiness, continuous sneezing and blowing my nose, which sometimes comes up unexpectantly and embrassingly in public like in line at a store or on the bus (w/o me having tissue). I am grateful to the chemical company that produces it. Because it stopped working for me after weeks of usage exactly this time last year, I haven't used it in over a year since 2 days ago. So last year my doctor prescribed Allegra 180 and that cured me, but it took 5 days. I want nothing else but Claritin-D 12hr or Allegra 180 24hr. Claritin-D is easier to access than a prescription. | F | 38 | 2 days | 4/15/2005 | 1 | Allergies | Difficulty sleeping - waking up in the middle of the night, not being able to go to sleep again, bad dreams; Horrendous constipation. | It is simply not worth it. The company should be sued for not listing these side effects on the package. I was taking for a week until I started realizing the connection between these side effects and claritin, did search on the net - and it's confirmed. The constipation was terrible - feeling like your entire intestine is dead, not a movement, no matter how much you eat. I even thought I have some serious illness and was about to go see a doctor. And of course depression - everything that comes with constipation... | F | 25 | 8 days | 4/23/2005 | 1 | Allergies | Difficulty sleeping - waking up in the middle of the night, not being able to go to sleep again, bad dreams; Horrendous constipation. | It is simply not worth it.
