| 2 | allergies ictch eyes | indigestion. I took my first pill 4 days ago in the morning and later that evening had major indigestion... and now the indigestion hits me within the hour | Four days ago I thought that I either ate too much or I had acid reflux, but today I took the pill later in the day and guess what? Indigestion hit me within the hour..no more allegra d for me! and it is supposed to be non-drowsy, but its not 100% more like 75% non drowsy and lots lots of Indigestion | M | 100 | 4 days | 4/25/2008 | 5 | Allergies and my head stopped up | Works great for my allergies . Does not make me starve like reg. Allegra | F | 75 | 0 days 1X day | 7/4/2021 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | Severe depression, insomnia | Took one pill at 11:30 am, then by about 10:00 pm, I started feeling horribly depressed. I was fighting this feeling like I fell into a black hole. I was so stressed and confused by this feeling, did not take another one. By the way for a 12 hour pill, this is the day after and this feeling is still there and it has not completely gone away but feel much better than yesterday. I am here to tell you that this pill does cause depression. Please take it with caution. Also did not sleep last night. Never again will I take this pill.. | F | 72 | 1 days 180 mg 1X day | 7/15/2015 | 4 | allergies | sleepiness | dry nose, itchy eyes, dry mouth, vertigo | M | 70 | 60 days | 2/12/2006 | 1 | Chronically blocked sinuses | Jittery, but lacking in energy. If sleep was possible it was only for 2 or 3 hours. Excessive urination. Depression,anxiety,thoughts of gloom & doom, no drive, no "pep". | Every 2nd night I would take sleeping pills to catch up on sleep. Of course this was grossly unhealthy but one has to function. Allegra & Allegra-D were actually quite effective in drying up the sinuses, but the cost to my health was far too high. I'll do whatever is necessary to get by without this awful intrusion into one's system. Good riddance! | M | 70 | 15 days | 12/22/2007 | 4 | yes | Forgetful, sweaty, insomnia, tearful, vertigo and sudden feeling came over me I'm Worthless. I'm gonna stop to see what happens to my emotions. | F | 69 | 2 months | 5/28/2014 | 1 | Allergy symptoms | Dizzy, throat felt constricted, head feels like stuffed with cotton and scalp tingly, was able to do labor around house/yard but felt terrible when I stopped and sat down, loss of appetite, overall feeling of being unwell | Will never take again. Took about a year ago and had bad results then. More anxiety side effects then but same overall bad body symptoms. This confirms that remainder going in the trash. | F | 67 | 1 days 1 tablet | 4/21/2020 | 1 | Congestion and runny nose | First night I had trouble sleeping. The second night I got no sleep at all. Never again! | M | 66 | 2 days 1X day | 3/23/2012 | 1 | Head Cold | Chest wall pain, irregular heartbeat, increased heart rate, extreme colonic cramping, constipation and insomnia. | The first day I felt okay. By the second day my normal heart rate of 60-70 went up by 30 points, my chest hurt and I was missing every 4th or 5th beat. I also suffered painful colon cramps and constipation. The drug combo kept me awake all night long. I've only taken 3 of these pills and am going to deep-six the bottle. I'm going back to clorpheniramine for my antihistamine choice when I need one. | M | 64 | 2 days | 1/14/2008 | 5 | Chronic Sinusitus | Hard to sleep more than 3-4 hours straight without waking up, mild hand tremmors, above average thirsty, noticible dry itchy eyes, less forceful urination. | Feel great, no more sinus headache depressed feelings, have plenty get up and go, do not miss the sleep all that much. Was taking twice a day, now after anti-biotics & oral & spray cortisone for sinus infection one every two days doing the trick. | M | 63 | 25 days | 9/23/2006 | 1 | Sinus problems | It cleared me up immediately and although I was sick, I plowed through an entire day at work in 100 degree weather. But when it was time to sleep -- forget it. I stayed up all night. It's the following afternoon and I tried to nap -- no such luck. Anyone know how long it takes for 1 dose to disappear? | F | 63 | 1 days 1X day | 7/30/2011 | 1 | Head cold | insomnia, nervous, headache, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dry mouth , made blood pressure high, o energy. | After taking this medicine I immediately started having side effects. I thought after I took it for a few days, maybe it would get better . The longer I took it the more symptoms I had. After taking it for 6 days...I thought I was going to die. It was horrible. I had not slept over 2 hours a night all this time. After being off it for 3 days ...I still have no energy,shortness of breath, I cant even go up just a few staires without getting out of breath ,,,and having to sit for a while to get my breath again. Worst medicine I have ever been on...and also very costly.100.00 down the drain and probably has damaged my health. I told my doctor I had trouble sleeping before she prescribed the med ...she said..Allegra d should not effect me in that way. I will never take this horrible medication again. | F | 63 | 6 days | 11/6/2007 | 1 | cough due to post nasal drip | Took the 12 hour version. Couldn't sleep or concentrate for 30 hours. Very high anxiety. My cough worsened. Blood pressure went from 102/68 to 160/90 from one day to next. It took several days before things returned to where they had been prior to taking this drug. | Do not recommend. It contains a large dose of pseudophedrine. I also took Nasonex at the same time which may have contributed to symptoms, however, when taking Nasonex alone, I don't have any problems. | M | 63 | 1 days | 6/1/2009 | 2 | Blocked Eustacian tubes, Dr prescri | Primary S.E. loss of sleep. And slight impotence. also feeling that stomach is somewhat bloated. | M | 61 | 7 days 2X day | 9/8/2011 | 1 | skin allergy, itchiness | Huge headache to the point of nausea, numbness in muscles in face, nose felt swollen inside so I couldnt breathe, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, foggy head couldnt concentrate, pain in head behind eyes got so bad I thought I was having a stroke | When I first took this medication it worked almost immediately, and my skin felt much less sore and irritated. However, after a couple of days I began to get a headache that would not go away regardless of the amount of pain killers I took. The pain behind my eyes and nose was frightening, my face felt numb on one side, I had tingling in my fingers and arm, problems sleeping even though i was exhausted. I couldn't concentrate, didn't want to talk to anyone and had trouble doing simple things such as checking my change in a shop. I have stopped taking the medication since yesterday, and already the headache has subsided and I can now breathe easier. I am very sad that this drug had such frightening side effects but would never, ever take it again. Just to add, I am not on any other medication whatsoever and am in excellent health apart from the skin allergy. | F | 61 | 14 days 180 1X day | 9/5/2013 | 5 | severe sinus,allergies, headaches | This drug I cannot live without but on the other hand I cannot sleep over 2 hours a night My allergy specialist said it was due to the allegra-d | F | 60 | 2 years | 8/10/2009 | 4 | sinus congestion and pressure | It definitely worked but after taking it for 3 years on and off I finally decided to check your webpage out and realized that when I am on the medication I experience jitters, heart palps,restlessness and anger when there isn't any need to be angry, and now I had a severe cold sweat and nausea episode after taking Allegra D with coffee and within hours I felt as though I would faint. I never thought all my ups and downs could be caused by this medication but now think this has been my problem. I loved this medication and it really did work but I am now going to go off it. | I just wish I had checked about serious side effects more closely. | F | 60 | 3 years | 6/14/2008 | 1 | blockag in ear and nose | loss of sexual desire and dizziness | M | 60 | 1 days 60 1X day | 9/13/2011 | 4 | sinus/ear infection | Prescribed by my internal medicine doctor to be taken with 9 days of Levaquin - does ease congestion but I stopped taking the second one in the evening because I wasn't sleeping well. Not sure if rapid heart rate and physical sluggishness are due to Allegra or to the antibiotic. I have mild hypertension and my BP not affected at all but heart rate jumps by about 30-35 periodically during the day. Also am mildly diabetic and this has not changed my readings nor apparently has the antibiotic. | Today was my last Levaquin; i requested a few more samples of the Allegra D from doctor and got them -- wonder if I had a sinus infection at all since I am really just about the same as when I first saw the doctor and have finished my Rx. Guess a few more days will tell. The Allegra does make me feel better -- | F | 59 | 9 days | 8/7/2008 | 1 | Allergic rhinitis | Absolutely NO sleep even taking pill early in the morning. Only partially cleared up my congestion. | I feel hyper/"ramped up"! | F | 59 | 2 days 1X day | 3/11/2016 |
