 1  Seasonal Allergy Symptoms I have been taking Claritin for about 4 days and I am so glad I stumbled across this site!!! I felt like I was going crazy; I feel so blah, depressed, and spacey/out of it. I began to think the Claritin was the reason for my symptoms and decided to research it. This medication should not have been made an over the counter med! Some people may not connect their symptoms to the medication and without doctor's supervision may go on feeling like this. I will not be taking this medication anymore and will not be recommending it for others...everyone reacts to meds differently, but this just isn't worth it! F 27 4 days

 4  spring-summer 2010 Helped great in the spring, but is not cutting it in the late summer. Switched over to Zyrtec as a result of this. Note when taking claritin D in the past I could not sleep longer then a couple hours. At bad days I take 1 four hour tablet of decongestion instead of the claritin-D M 41 6 months

 5  Seasonal allergies Absolutely NO side effects. This drug is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. How wonderful to have relief from the wicked results of seasonal allergies without the horrid side effects of all other medications, prescription and non-prescription alike, that I have used over the past 6 decades. I have tried them all. Not only did I have the side effects of the medications they usually didn't help all that much. F 61 7 days

 1  sinus drainage OMG! This website has helped us diagnose what has been going on with our daughter for the past 3 days! No one can imagine the things she has experienced from depression, anxiety, HORRID thoughts that no 8 year old little girl should be thinking! I honestly was afraid that she had some type of brain tumor that was terribly affecting her character. Uncontrollable crying, heart racing,acid reflux and insomnia. I would've never thought claritin could've caused all this but when I was trying to think of what she had been doing different this was the only thing we could come up with and sure enough we came up on this website and it has answered all our questions! We threw this bottle of POISON in the trash!!!!!!! Today has been the third day that she's been without claritin and it has been a much better day than yesterday which was a nightmare to say the least! I hope this info helps someone else. F 8 7 days

 1  Daily Sinus Congestion/Pain Well all I can say is WOW. Wow I finally made the connection to the SEVERE MOOD SWINGS I have been having. Normally I am a pretty low-key and easy going guy. While Claritin D did help my sinus pain it makes me feel very unstable. I would get very irritable and angry for no reason. Also I feel spacey and detached like others have said. There is a reason you cant buy too much of this stuff at once. Be careful, if this reacts to you like it does to me you will become an entirely different and angry person. DO NOT TAKE M 32 25 days

 1   POSTAL! No other way to describe what it did to me. It's been years since I tried Claritin, but it still scares me, now that it is available over the counter. You could ask anyone around me- new or old, and they will claim it's impossible to even imagine I could be or feel that way. Just not who I am. But I did. The doctors said I would get used to it - NOT! The 2nd week I cut the dose in half - I felt ONLY half as POSTAL! After that I gave it up for good old Benidryl and caffiene. MAKES ME WONDER, has anyone checked to see if those folks who went postal in the news, were on a drug like Claratin?? If your children act different - could it be the drug? F 40 2 weeks

 1  Trying to dry up fluid in my ear I was told to take this to dry up fluid in my ear (Turns out there is no fluid).My heart raced all night long & I was wired. I took the 24-hour kind. The next morning, I felt very lightheaded upon standing. I went to the doc & my blood pressure was so low that she sent me to the ER for an IV. I took the generic version of this drug, and had to show my ID to buy it, since it can be used to make meth. I personally would not take it again for the above reasons. F 32 1 days

 1  Coughing, itchiness, throat problem I took the medicine once last night because my mom gave it to me. When I woke up I was extremely stressed, irritable, and later in the day I had spurs of depression and I was extremely convinced that I was in a lucid dream and I couldn't wake up. I was crying my eyes out. Luckily I found out it was because of the allergy medication. Apparently children under eighteen shouldn't take the stuff. I'm twelve going on thirteen. F 12 1 days

 3  allergies and dermitis loss of appetite, mild stomach upset, dry mouth, interrupted sleep i certainly did not make me drowsy like most every allergy med, but the side effects were a bit unpleasant. it did nothing to help skin itching but did help other symptoms. it's always hit and miss with allergy meds- unsure if i will use again.

 3  year round allergies 10 years later and it is hard to describe what is not normal and what is normal. I have gone off it FOR GOOD.. it has been a week, so I know what it causes now: Dizzy, Tired, Fatigue, slight Depression, major Confusion, faint - i have passed out before, forgetfulness, nightmares, bad thoughts. I rated it 3 because it has helped me a bit with some seasonal allergies over the last decade. I was advised to take it every day all year because of my indoor allergies... but I don't feel it helps the indoor allergies much. It is no longer worth taking since my symptoms were getting progressively worse. F 27 10 years

 1  Allergies This drug is sooo scary! I took one dose at 6pm, with no prior knowledge to side effects. I bought one dose at the convience store because my allergies were flaring up. There were NO WARNING/SIDE EFFECTS on package so I thought nothing of it. Two hours within taking one pill, I felt like I was on crack. I couldn't sleep, Im still awake it's now 6:22am, almost 12 hours after taking the pill. For awhile my hands were shaking, my heart felt like it was going to pound out of my chest, I had a horrible time concentrating andI couldn't stop moving around, pacing the house. I woke my mother up, with concerns that something was wrong with me, when I realized I had taken one dose of Claritin, sounded silly at first that a allergy medicine could make me feel SO OUT OF BODY, but loe and behold, I stumbled apon this website and couldn't even believe it!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE! I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT DOES TO A PERSONS BODY, IF YOU GET SUCH HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS! I am really hoping it starts DO NOT TAKE, NOT WORTH THE SIDE EFFECTS. I'D RATHER DRINK A BOTTLE OF BENADRYL AND BE DROWSY, THAN FEEL LIKE I'M A CRACKHEAD AND NOT SLEEP. F 24 1 days

 1  Seasonal Allergies My 5 year old daughter has always been a bit of a high maintenance PITA, but while she is on Claritin she is a thousand times worse. We would give her a 1 tsp dose in the morning when she had puffy eyes or other signs of allergies. On those days we would get complaints from her teachers/camp supervisors. When she got sent home from camp for bad behavior, we took her off of Claritin. Things have been getting progressively better over the past few days. We will be discontinuing use of Claritin forever.

 3   I have been trying it off and on for years. It seems to have the least side effects, but it makes me extremely irritable, and depressed. I'm lost for a solution. It works great on my allergies. I have daily migraines without it. F 57 1 days

 4  allergies None that I am aware of. Works OK with mild allergies. Really doesn't help when I have a massive allergic reaction to dust, mold, cats, and pollen. To be fair, nothing works very well with my twice a year extreme reactions. I have to take benedryl, claritin, chlortabs, and a nasal spray to stop the itching in my head. F 47 4 years
