 5  seasonal allergies -- Texas mold! tremendous loss of appetite, better ability to stay focused and on task I love this stuff! The loss of appetite suits me fine, and I am more productive at work. If I haven't taken it in a while, then the first day or two I feel kind of medicine-y and spaced out, but that wears off. I stick to the 12-hour version and again, after the first couple of days of use, the insomnia problems go away. I worry about long-term side effects like liver damage or I don't know what else, but this is the best diet pill I've ever seen! F 35 14 days

 5  Sinus Congestion, Itchy Throat I drink a lot of water and I eat a balanced diet so maybe that helps me to have no side effects at all. Because my congestion is relieved, I am clearer headed, but not jittery and able to focus easily. I love my 24 hour claritin D and do not know why others react so strongly and negatively to it. I take this stuff every day and when I tried to be cheap (even thought I use the generic brand) and I chose not to take Claritin D, I couldn't breathe as clearly and I felt foggy headed and usually get a sinus infection if I do not go back on it soon. That means time off of work + cost of prescriptions and that is not worth it at all! I sleep fine every night, too. Everyone's body reacts to drugs differently and this is one example of that. This stuff helps me survive my move from California to Texas and the development of allergies that I NEVER had before the move! Thank you, Claritin D! F 38 4 years

 5  Allergies Decreased appetite, thirsty, a little edgy If I eat a good breakfast and take my Claritin-D 12 hour in the morning. This helps with any sleep disorder side effects. I can eat a sensible lunch and dinner because of the decreased appetite. Drink lots of water, and exercise to help the edgy feeling. I also take two Kava-Kava (purchase from healthfood stores) capsules which take the edgy/moody side effect completely away. Claritin-D works for me! F 47 2 years

 5  Severe Allergies mouth dryness, insomnia if taken later than 3 pm or a lot of caffeine intake. I was taking Allegra D twice a day for 20 years. After trying Claritin D12 hours, I was amazed that it worked as well or better. I only need one Claritin D where I needed 2 Allegra. It's great not needing a prescription, and the hundreds of dollars in savings. F 58 1 days

 5  year round allergies back pain, urinary infections, insominia, irritability, costipation I could not live with out this medicine. Side effects are bad but the alternative is worse. We moved across country 4 years ago because the doctors had done as much as they could for me. I had hoped I could stop taking this but my minor allergies are still bad enough to have to take it. I would sleep 24 hours aday with out it. If I still lived back east I would be in the hospital. F 43 9 years

 5  Allergies Took Claritin D 12 HOUR Extra energy, less appetite, good for allergy symptoms HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE 12 HOUR VERSION NOT THE 24 HOUR MY ADVICE IS FOR ALL OF YOU WHO COULDNT SLEEP - TRY THE 12 HOUR VERSION AND TAKE IT IN THE MORNING. I have the same problem with the 24 hour formula but the 12 hour wears off during the day and then you can sleep better. I LOVE this stuff, it clears me up and gives me energy. But not too much. THe 12 hour is a little less potent. F 31 4 years

 5  I have terrible allergies. I have never had any bad side effects from taking Claritin-D. However, my blood-pressure does go up everytime I have to show my Drivers License and sign for "allergy medication". Why, so the Gov't can keep track of how many times I blow my nose? What a joke!!! For all you people who can't handle CLARITIN-D - please, stay away from ALL allergy medications before you mess it up for the rest of us!!! F 54 10 years

 5  severe allergies/asthma I am trying to no take singulair and advair anymore due to weight gain. Woke up this morning & thought I'd try Claritin D 24 hour. Within 1 hour symptoms were completely gone but the side effect set in. Tingling chills all over my body, clinched jaw, heart palpitations and overall jittery feeling. I tried to take a nap around 3PM and barely slept, waking up sweaty. Definitely noticed decreased appetite in this short time. Glad I am off work today, as I don't think I could concentrate very well. I feel like I am on drugs...I see why they use this stuff to make meth now. I will continue to try this over the weekend, maybe take 1/2 of the 24 hour pill tomorrow and see how that goes. Quite honestly, the decreased appetite is appealing to me. F 32 1 days

 5  itchy eyes, headache, congestion decreased appetite, increased focus and motivation, increased mood, lighter wallet. The first day on the med I felt wonderful, slightly hyperactive/verbal, but overall I felt great! I am already a happy person, but it made everything seem brighter and better. It helped immediately (within 30 mminutes) with my sinus headache, my itchy/watery eyes and congestion. I have noticed a decrease in appetite, but nothing worthy of concern, if anything that is a beneficial side-effect. It increased my motivation, increased my ability to focus and concentrate, and I think it even increased the speed at which I think and solve problems. I have not taken the med today and already notice my sinus headache and itchy eyes coming back. I think I am having problems as a result of mold, so hopefully by taking care of that I can stop taking the Claritin-D. I buy the generic version of it at the pharmacy and it is still outrageously priced I think that is the main downfall! F 26 4 days

 5  allergies Try the Claritin D 12 hour! It worked best for my allergies out of any other allergy pill. I also seemed to lose weight when I was on it; I think it curbed my appetite. THe Claritin 24 hour is horrible. I felt anxious, jittery, paranoid, and did not sleep at all the days I took it. F 25 3 months

 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

 5  stuffed up nose/sinus congestion I haven't noticed any adverse side effects other than being able to BREATHE out of my nose. I do occasionally wake up a couple hours earlier than I want to. I've tried almost every sinus pill under the sun, had 2 nasal surgeries, and had allergy shots for 2 years. I finally found a medication that works for me. Hurray! I even feel smarter now that I'm not being deprived of oxygen. F 38 6 weeks

 5  Tree pollen alergy I cannot tolerate the 240 mg but have had very few side effects with the 120 mg. I only take it one time a day (12 hour tablet) but overall the allergies are much better and I do not have to deal with the racing heart and lightheadedness. If you are having a problem with the 24 hour 240 mg, you may want to try the 12 hour 120 mg. F 43 3 weeks
120 mg 1X day

 5  Ragweed allergies Very few. Mild insomnia, some lack of appetite - but WAY better than the awful allergy symptoms I had. Great experience with Claritin-D. I have suffered from ragweed allergies for years, and Claritin-D started working within 1 hr. of taking it. I take the 12-Hr pill once every 24 hrs, and that dosage works well for me. F 37 30 days
120 mg 1X day

 5  Allergies, asthma, colds Helps allergies and even asthma a bit. Take the 12 hour only because it has a caffeine like energy boost. Curbing of appetite. Because of the caffeine like energy boost, recommend the 12 hour version. Somewhat addictive because you get used to the extra energy and appetite control. Great for allergies and colds too. F 31 36 months

 5  Severe Allergies Weight Loss, no appetite, tremors, insomnia for the first few days, dehydrated, dry mouth I have been taking Claratin D every spring for the past eight years. This is the only medicine that makes my severe allergy related nasal congestion go away. Although the side effects are not fun, they are only really bad for about the first week. Once my body gets used to the medicine being in my system, I am completely fine. I always drink extra water because I know the medicine makes me dehydrated. I lose about 10 lbs every spring, which is not exactly a bad thing:-) F 33 8 years
