| 3 | cold | Insomnia!! I took it at 7pm and tried to sleep around 12am to 1am, was not able to... tossed and turned all night! every hour i would look at the clock. | makes my mucous kind of green. fine before i took it. | F | 29 | 2 days | 8/16/2007 | 3 | allergies | I got very constipated, which was unpleasant enough for me to stop taking the drug. | It worked pretty well and I didn't have other side effects, but the regular Allegra (no D) in generic form is almost as good and doesn't cause the constipation. | F | 38 | 7 days | 8/7/2007 | 2 | Intense post-nasal drip/allergies | Insomnia, heart palpitations, mild tremors, drymouth, anxiety, restlessness | The medicine seemed to help the post-nasal drip and the allergies, but the side effects are horrific. I couldn't go to work because of insomnia. After taking this medicine for 3 days, I woke up with a racing heartbeat, restlessness and anxiety at 12 midnight (I went to bed at 10 p.m.). I then stayed awake for the next 24 hours, even though my body was physically exhausted. Needless to say, I have discontinued this medication. It did seem to help a little, but it is not worth the side effects. | F | 45 | 3.5 days | 8/7/2007 | 4 | coughing and nasal drip | insomnia, have lost 30 pounds in about 4 months..no appetite, neck and back pain, depression, extreme angry feelings, headaches, more severe periods | helped my coughing but has way too many side effects | F | 34 | 4 months | 8/3/2007 | 4 | Allergies | lose of appetite; back pain; dizziness | the medicine helped my allergies a lot but sine taking them i have lost a lot of weight through diet and exercise for personal reasons, and although i had only experienced lose of appetite at my hightest weight i am now experiencing more symptons due to my own weight lose. so although it has helped me with my allergies i may have to switch to a lesser dosage or even plain allegra. | F | 18 | 6 months | 7/19/2007 | 3 | Severe Allergies/moderate Asthma | Unable to take Allegra-D at night due to insomnia. Took in morning only and took Allegra without decongestant at night. After being on this medication for 6 years, I found out it was the cause of my serious menstrual irregularities (Ex: bleeding for months at a time with no known cause after several tests were performed.) After years of tests and hormone therapy, which didn't seem to work after awhile (I was still bleeding for months, then went for months without bleeding). I eliminated the hormones, still had the problem. When I went off of the Allegra & Allegra-D my menstrual cycles have been back to normal without any hormones. The first time since 2001! I found the cause of my own severe menstrual bleeding: Allegra-D I am now on Claritin without the horrible side effects I had with Allegra-D | If it works for you without the terrible side effects I experienced, use it. | F | 33 | 6 years | 7/12/2007 | 1 | allegra-D | I took Allegra-D yesterday and the side effects are aweful. I was up ALL NIGHT with insomnia and the jitters. I am still experiencing the jitters. I also have dry mouth....FUN! I just hope these side effects wear off soon. I am getting married in a few days and this is bad. | The benefits are not worth it. | F | 33 | 1 days | 7/11/2007 | 4 | sinusitis | I am sweating like CRAZY, loss of appetite | I can breathe! side effects are worth it to me. I noticed alot of people saying it causes them anxiety, I am a recovered panicker3 yrs(intitutionalized more than once) and this has caused me no anxiety. It really does affect everyone differently. | F | 22 | 6 weeks | 7/8/2007 | 5 | Sinus Congestion | can't fall asleep if I take it after 5:30 pm | This is the only allergy med that works for me. I've been on it for over 20 yrs. I started with plain Allegra, and it didn't work. My pharmacist suggested the D and it works great if I take one before 9 am and one around 5:30 pm. I have to stop caffeine by 4 pm, or I can't sleep. Take on an empty stomach and drink 8 ounces of water with each pill. | F | 57 | 20 years | 7/4/2007 | 3 | Allergies | Constipation and urniary tract problems. | Had to stop taking it | M | 58 | 14 days | 6/28/2007 | 1 | Allergy | Horrible side effects of sleeplessness, anxiety, nervousness and ringing in the ears (very extreme). I spent two nights in and out of sleep and panic at the tail end of my ten day usage. Caused a rushing sensation in my head and caused heart to race. Please don't make my mistake and not research the drug before taking it. None of this was described by my physician or pharmacist. On the plus side it does work to clear the synuses but not worth the after effects. | M | 37 | 10 days | 6/24/2007 | 1 | allergies | loss of appetite, insomnia, during intermittent sleep would experience blurred vision, heart palpatations, jittery. | F | 36 | 2 days | 6/18/2007 | 4 | allergies | dry mouth, lots of energy, sleeping ok finally, lost 10 lbs since taking, think it has given me thrush or something close, because of the persisent dry mouth am on my way to docs right now! | think it works well...but i am a tad freaked about the oral ulcer thingy...am a health nut... | F | 37 | 2 months | 6/14/2007 | 5 | Allergies | None | This is the best allergy medication I have ever taken. I am sorry that so many people are experiencing so many side effects. I have been taking it for years. | F | 57 | 5 days | 6/7/2007 | 5 | Allergies and asthma | dry eyes and dry mouth | Works well for me. When I take regularly increases my peak flow with my asthma. I take in the morning. When taken at night suffered mild insomnia. | F | 49 | 12 months | 6/6/2007 | 5 | Severe Allergies | I have taken Allegra-D for six months daily and have had SEVERE side effects. I have had a fast heart rate (132 resting), shortness of breath, dizziness, severe mood swings (especially depressed feelings), and an overwhelming urge to sleep ALL of the time. It hasn't made me jittery, nor do I feel an increase in energy. It has cleared up the allergies, which is a blessing, but it is not worth the side effects. I have had withdrawl symptoms which are debilitating. | The amount of sudafed in the pill was enough to energize a 270 pound man. The doctor told me this when I finally complained after six months about the heart rate and heart pains, and since I have a low amount of body fat, it has been too much for my body to handle. The doctor has switched me to regular Allegra. | F | 17 | 6 months | 5/25/2007 | 3 | Severe Allergies, Nasal drip | Constantly tired. Unable to sleep at night. Feelings of anxiety. Taking the 12 hour version. | I have sever allergies when I go to the beach. I am going again since being put on Allegrea D this weekend. If it does not work, I am quitting taking it. Its almost not worth the side effects. I dont know what to do next, no other allergy medication seems to work. | M | 22 | 3 days | 5/25/2007 | 3 | sinusitis | depression, back ache, insomnia | The drug worked for what it was prescribed for but plan on not taking this drug again due to the depressive episode brought on | F | 55 | 19 days | 5/24/2007 | 4 | constant post-nasal drip | No side effects experienced because I NEVER take it at night. (I did take it one time in the evening and couldn't get to sleep.) Have tons of energy and people say I look happy. | Notice a big difference without it. Helped post-nasal drip a lot, even though there is still some drip on some days (on other days, no drip). Only take one 12-hour dosage on work days. Don't take it on weekends. I take as little medicine as possible anyway. | F | 51 | 3 months | 5/22/2007 | 3 | Allergies | Nausea, my heart feel like it's coming out of my chest, Tired costantly, I feel like I have over dozed on drugs, loss of appetite. It has helped with the allergies but it seems as if the side effects are way worst. So now I don't know if I should suffer from the allergies or from the side effects. | F | 17 | 1 days | 5/14/2007 |
