 1  Skin rash/hives Twitches, heart palpitations, anxiety I will NEVER take this medicine or Zyrtec. I must be allergic to allergy meds. It's made me restless, nervous (which I already am to begin with) and twitchy. I convinced myself I was dying. No more allergy meds. I'd rather be red and itchy than go through these strange body flutters. I don't care what's listed in the side effects section by so-called experts. That said, I took hydroxycut years ago and made it feel restless and like I was vibrating but not twitchy. Darn H1 receptors! F 46 4 days

 1  Hives My child needed it for hives but his attitude was anxious. A usually happy boy turns extremely unpleasant beyond terrible twos. It's sad. DO NOT GIVE YOUR KID CLARITIN. M 2 2 days

 1  Seasonal allergy Anxiety, weak arms and legs, irritability, insomnia, stomach pains, waking up several times during the night. Side effects didn't happen all at once. Sometimes had usual side effects of drowsiness and other times I would get a random side effect of feeling irritated or anxious. M 22 3 years

 1  Allergies Anxiety, depression, heart palpitations, exhausted during the day but unable to sleep past 3am, weird pressure-like sensation in head. Seem to have suddenly developed a caffeine sensitivity. I only took one dose of Claritin 9 days ago. I'm still having these symptoms and really hope they subside soon. I haven't taken anything else nor changed my routine at all, so I can only assume this was triggered by the Claritin. F 42 1 days

 1  Normal seasonal allergies Restlessness, reduced sleep, fast heart rate, pouting/unhappiness, We literally gave my son this medicine 1 time before bedtime. THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME I WILL EVER GIVE THIS CRAP TO MY CHILD. We went to bed and about 4 hours later he wakes me up literally not being able to get comfortable. I mean straight up moving ever part of his body like he was in pain. After about 20 minutes of him doing that I knew something wasn't right. So I turn the tv on and then he starts whinning. He has not ever done this before and the only thing different to his nightly routine was the Claritin 24 hr grape flavor liquid. Got curious and google brought me here THANKFULLY. Never again. I wasn't going to share my experience due to only giving him 1 dose but I thought that maybe this could be helpful to another parent, along with all the other reviews. M 2.5 1 days

 1  Allergies My son is 3, he has adhd and autism. I had been giving him claritin for 3 days plus his adhd medication because the pharmacy said it would fine. He does have some anger issues due to asd, but he has been 10x worse and the only thing I can think of is clartin has caused these outburst of behaviors especially seeing these other reviews! Don't give claritin to your child! M 3 3 days

 1  Fluid in the ear Heart racing, shaking, muscle tightening and pain. Anxiety, nervousness, night sweats. I had been dealing with my ear being clogged due to fluid in it. I went to an urgent care who suggested I take an allergy medication. I've taken Zyrtec in the past and was sensitive to its side affects and also I can't take Sudafed because it makes my heart race. So cautiously I tried a 10 mg of Claritin at 4pm. An hour later I started shaking and my heart started beating fast. I crawled in a ball and tried to sleep to calm myself. I slept for about 20 min and felt better but totally out of it. It did help my ear though so I figured I would try a children's dose, 5mg, the following day. The following day it was nice that my ear was less clogged, but I definitely felt out of body and weird. Nonetheless, I bought some children's chewable Claritin and took 1 at 5pm. By 6:15 my neck and shoulders were tensing and my heart was beating super fast. It would only somewhat slow down if I laid still and took deep breaths, and when it did I would shake. The minute I moved it would shoot up, felt like it would beat out of my chest. Two hours later I contemplated going to the hospital but instead tried to relax and fall asleep. I slept fitfully until 2 am and was sweating and could feel my heart pounding in my sleep. My heart didn't return to a normal rate until about 3 am, even though it still felt like it was pounding. Upon waking up today my heart rate is normal and my blood pressure is norm F 36 2 days

 1  Fluid in ear/allergies So glad I found this page. After taking Claritin For three days I had a crazy dizziness feeling off balance and lightheaded like complete brain fog. I kept zoning out feeling like I was not in my own body. Eye lag. And body aches. I am still suffering from side effects I'm definitely never taking this again. F 28 5 days

 3  Histamine/Allergies. Fatigue, Nervousness, Anxiety, hypomanic, Dry mouth, Constipation, Slight nausea, Belching, decrease of appetite, Weird dreams, Waking up through the night, Slight increased heart rate, Feeling disconnected from body/reality, Feeling like I'm in a dream Works wonders for my eustachian tube inflammation and problems. Helps 100%. But the most concerning side effects are feeling so zoned out and just like things aren't real. It's like things look more far away, very strange. I don't like that aspect of it. But, it really works well. F 30 5 days

 1  My 4 yo son has allergies Anger/aggression, extreme mood swings, night terrors and inability to fall asleep easily, hallucinations/nightmares, hitting/choking/tackling others , can't listen or follow directions, hyperactivity, baby talk, excessive whining and crying, throwing himself down in flailing temper tantrums, all of a sudden getting in trouble at school With incident reports almost daily, periodic vomiting My normally sweet and well Behaved child "flipped a switch over night" as described by his preschool teacher. He has been having all the above side effects mentioned above for a month since I've been giving him the medicine for his allergies. We've been trying to get to the bottom of all the misbehyand serious issues when his teacher happened to mention it could be the Claritin. I stopped giving it to him immediately after finding this site and he is back to normal I was screaming at Him everyday feeling like a Horrible parent- poor guy was being drugged. I'm so mad that this is on the shelves for purchase M 4 30 days

 1  Cough, runny nose I am so thankful I came across this website, I just gave my daughter Claritin 4 hrs ago, we were literally ready to take her to the hospital because she'll wake up crying hysterically out of nowhere, like if something is hurting or like if she's scared. She does not let me comfort, her she pushes me away and starts kicking when I try touching her. She only lets her dad hold her, I feel horrible. She's now asleep in her dads arms and I put relaxation music on. I hope this medicine wears off soon. I will NEVER give my baby this crap again. F 2 1 days

 1  Allergic asthma Horrible shifts from feeling extremely cold to having hot flashes. Developed bladder issues... went in for a UA and test was negative for infection. Keep having bladder pressure, uncomfortable feeling of having to urinate often and bladder burning. Also feel very tired and down in the dumps!! Stopped taking Claritin as of yesterday and hope these issues resolve! It worked for my allergies and kept my allergic asthma at bay... but not worth feeling like you have a bladder infection all the time!! F 66 2 weeks

 1  Allergies MY CHILD WAS A HORRIBLE CHILD!!!! Like any other kid he would throw his tantrum every now and then and the boy has his attitude but under this med it was another child. Wanting to beat his siblings, talking back to everyone, not caring about any sort of discipline, throwing everything in his way if you made him angry. And by making him angry I mean the simplest thing would drive him up the wall. Not hearing him the first time. Pouring too little cereal. Giving him a spoon instead of a fork little things like this that would not make him upset before. He was a little monster DO NOT GIVE THIS TO YOUR CHILD!!! M 5 2 days
