| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CLARITIN-D | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Nasal congestion, allergies, cold | (note: I take the generic 24hr claritin-D) Increased concentration, general relaxation, hyper-action, alertness. If taken after 6pm I often have trouble falling asleep. Dryness, but after all the point of the drug is to dry your body out. Sometimes I feel slightly "out of body", as if my head is floating above my shoulders. | This drug works for me without uncomfortable side effects. Sometimes I take it for the side effect of concentration; it makes work go by much faster. When taking it you must DRINK PLENTY OF WATER (20oz.+ per hour, but stop short of over-hydration which is dangerous) otherwise you will become dehydrated quickly and suffer effects related to that. I believe many of people's ill side effects are a result of improper hydration that is exasperated by the drug. Though, I personally know many people who fall asleep within minutes of taking this drug. It's definitely not for everyone, so if you're a first time user take it in a controlled environment where you don't need to drive, can sleep if you need to, and have access to water. | M | 23 | 2 years 24 hr 1X day | 9/10/2010 | 5 | Severe Allergies | Clear sinuses!!! | From what I have been reading on here I have gathered this: Some people can't handle strong medications -- most of you are those people!! This medication is not for the weak. You probably should have questioned that when you had to sign your life away at the register in order to purchase it!! | M | 32 | 5 days 1X day | 4/12/2011 | 5 | Allergies | Only drug that works...! | M | 38 | 15 years 12 hr 1X day | 5/11/2011 | 5 | sinus congestion w/lethargia | more energy, relieves major sinus congestion - occasional problems with sleep if not taken early in AM. | For me the 24hr is an elixir. Just concerned about year round, as needed, useage. | M | 65 | 4 years 1X AN | 6/6/2011 | 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 day | 12/5/2012 | 5 | severe allergies(mold, dust) | constipation, broken sleep | This drug has saved my life. I've been sick every other week for the last six months. Since taking this I haven't had one sniffle or sneeze. I'll live with the broken sleep, but I've learned to drink more fluids. | M | 36 | 16 days | 7/6/2006 | 5 | Relief From Allergies | At first I did notice the constipation, so I tried to eat some roughage and found that Oatmeal or a Banana was a great reliever. Now, occasionally constipated, so I just grab a banana or have some oatmeal, almost always very shortly followed by releif. Occasional minor constipation is a very small price, especially when considering the alternative of life without it. I have tried other prescriptions, but have found nothing that works as good as Claritin-D.... nothing! | I have been taking Claritin-D 24 Hour for well over 10 years. Prior taking this drug I suffered with my allergies... extreme sinus congestion. I was always tired and extremely irritable!!! I was so irritable that I found myself withdrawing and avoiding even saying hello to people. Fellow employees would stop by my office to say hello and the whole time that they were there, I would be raging to myself... when are they going to leave! Also, if I stopped, I dropped. I would fall asleep getting my haircut, teeth cleaned, etc. I even fell asleep having my crowns replaced. Now, I have the energy that I had before I had allergies. I take every morning before I shower; by time I am done, I feel great! When ever I forget to take it, by 10 AM I can feel my rage climbing and lack of concentration setting in, all which promptly subsides shortly after taking. Yes, I am dependent on this drug... its been a life saver for me. | M | 50 | 10 years | 7/22/2006 | 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 | 5 | SEASONAL | Humungous erection that just won't subside. I recommend this product to every single guy out there you won't regret it! | M | 22 | 4 days | 5/2/2007 | 5 | Seasonal Allergies | Constant thirst means I have to drink lots of water, then I have to pee a lot and it takes me a long time to go (weak stream). I wake up more during the night, but have plenty of energy during the day. Constipation subsides after about three days of continued use. And mosquito bites don't itch! | For me, the benefits clearly outweigh the side effects. When I periodically go off Claitin-D, I sleep through the night but feel tired all day and can't touch alcohol or I get a SEVERE sinus headache an hour or two later. After several days of being constantly foggy, groggy, congested, and miserable, I always go back to the Claritin-D and feel better immediately. From reading this thread, it appears you either love it or hate it. I agree there are side effects, but haven't found anything else that works (for me). | M | 45 | 2 years | 7/19/2007 | 5 | Stuffiness, frequent infections. | Occasional heart rate flutter, or pounding when drinking caffeine (coffee) an hour after taking Claritin-D 24hr; Unable to empty bladder completely, leaking urine, and semen; There is an undeniable direct affect to my prostate; Dry mouth. | Side effects have been reduced dramatically by switching to 12hr and taking 2 pills a day, my workplace is extremely dusty and Claritin-D has enabled me to continue in my career, I feel more alert and clearer thinking while taking it, probably due to the unrestricted breathing and sinus relief. In my case Claritin-D has been a life saver however I would hate to add up how much has been spent on it over a three year period. | M | 34 | 3 years | 1/1/2008 | 5 | sinus, allergy, sad life to live. | loss of appetite, weight loss, lowered sex drive. | new life. i can breathe, i have lots of energy, i can work and not sneeze. no more watery eyes, colds, stuffy head, blocked nostrils, i'm a new man. praise god! claritin has been my miracle. i now get an indian version that's cheap. sudolor 240. i live in cental america. claritin is expensive. sudolor is the same thing, works the same and is 25% of the price. i'm a new man thanks to this combination of these two drugs. i know of all those side effects but not with claritin d 24. i guess this drug was made for me. i'm very thanksful for it. | M | 36 | 9 months | 3/31/2008 | 5 | Allergies Sinus Blockage | Claritin D keeps me extremly focused..like I am in the Zone. I never knew it would unblock my nose and allow me to sleep so well. I have never sleep so good. I use a CPAP machine and for the first time in 5 years, I could sleep without snoring. Awesome Drug. | I think this affects certain people in different ways. I am a 40 year old male and I have always had nose blockage and a D Septum. This is a great product. | M | 40 | 15 days | 6/3/2009 | 5 | Allergies | Clariton - D 12hour is an awesome drug. I pop one everytime my allergies act up in the morning. I can see why meth heads use this, the Pseudoephedrine contained in it has almost opiate-like characteristics. Not only do i get fast acting allergy relief, but in my stressful work environment, its best side effect is lethargic. I can get through my day at work feeling like i'm laying down in my bed (only im actually at work), not caring about a damn thing. The side effects might be different for other people, but for me, I love it. | M | 23 | 1 years | 6/11/2009 | 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 day | 11/24/2014 | 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 day | 8/3/2015 | 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 day | 8/23/2014 | 4 | allergies and sinus congestion | This works great for me but the problems I had was sleeping at night but had a ton of energy in the morning witch was great. I also had sexual problems and after seeing the doctor he said it might be this stuff so I got off of it and the sexual problems went away. | Claritin d is the only stuff that works for me and I will use it when I can just not when dating its a bad idea if you want the night to go right. | M | 25 | 2.5 years | 6/1/2009 | 4 | Allergies | HUGE Insomnia, and depression | Does clear up my allergies and stopped my snoring | M | 20 | 6 months | 8/26/2009 | 4 | Year Round Allergies | Any time I stop taking Claritin-D 24 hr it seems like I have difficulty breathing at night. I cough a lot, and small amounts of work or excercise leave me short of breath. | It works great to control my allergies, but I worry about what else it is doing to me. | M | 33 | 4 years | 3/15/2009 |
