 1  allergies I gave my 6 year old daughter a claratin this morning for allergies. She had an uncharacteristic meltdown at school and told me that she felt like the gravity was telling her to get on the ground. She is a healty 6 year old with no signs of mental illness. This stuff was like a pschodelic trip for her. Please don't give this to your children. F 43 1 days

 1  spring allergies Was feeling really down/depressed and so tired, had trouble getting out of bed. On the verge of tears. Did not understand why this was happening - especially since weather was great (winter over,etc)and nothing in particular was wrong. Then I put it together! I have to assume that it is directly related to the Claritin. Timing makes sense. It did help my allergy symptoms but not worth it. F 31 2 weeks

 1  Allergies Vivid Nightmares,Frequent awakening at night. The worst nightmares I've ever had have just been the last two days of taking this medication. I was fine on Zyrtec but the insurance company wanted to be cheap and put me on this instead. F 38 2 days

 1  Allergies depression, suicidal thoughts, vivid dreams yet trouble sleeping, extreme lethargy I've taken Claritin on and off for years when I needed it. The past year I started noticing I would feel very depressed when I would take it. Yesterday I took it and felt extremely depressed and I think I can finally linnk it to Claritin. F 37

 4  allergies, sinus until i read the things people have posted on this site, I thought I was just the mean old bastard my now x-wife thought I Was...This drug works wonders for my allergies but seems to be killing the rest of me... lately the pain in my sholder, knee, wrist and muscles have become really bad. After reading most of the other posts and thinking back I can say that I have had most of these side-effects at one time or another, and never made to conection, Im not saying its all claritin but it sure explands alot. I have also taken Claritin D and found I was going to the bathroom all the time trying to pee, drip drip drip what a drag. Got so bad i thought I might have prosrate cancer, I stopped takeing The D and things are much better I guess I will stop with Claritin all together because my body feels like its been in a wreck. I`m going to detox my self and try and find some other means of keeping my allergies in check. It was a sad sad day, while looking at all the allergy and sinus med in the drug store, I relized they will never cure my sinus allergy problem, to much money to be made... I don`t think you should give this drug to children and if you can find some thing else that works, us it. My alleries were so bad, and nothing seemed to work, so when i found Claritin, it waS LIKE A LIGHT IN A DARK DARK WORLD. M 43 3 years

 2  Allergies, Asthma Chest tightness/tight breathing I tried Claritin because my insurance won't cover Allegra or it's generic anymore since Claritin & Zyrtec are OTC. Claritin should not be used by people who have asthma. It definately makes all those symptoms worse. It does work great for the allergies and dries the sinuses, but has no smooth muscle relaxation affect for the bronchials like Allegra does. It causes too much tension. Insurance Companies need to be aware of this when they make these rediculous decisions to not cover something because there are OTC alternatives! F 50 1 months

 1  Allergies I decided to try taking claritin to help with my allergies but it didn't seem to actually do anything except for make me feel like crap. Started crying could not sleep and felt really depressed and was reading through these comments and saw that I am not the only one this has happened to. I'm really disappointed in Claritin and just threw mine out. I wish people were more aware of this (as side effects/adverse reactions warning is nowhere on the box) and I took regular Claritin. I'm not taking Claritin ever again, far as I'm concerned. F 24 5 days

 2  allergies Drowsiness, fatigue, lack of caring, delayed motor reaction, difficulty controlling emotions, dry mouth I've never breathed so well in my life and can't remember a time that I felt air expanding into my upper sinuses rather than contracting. However, the side effects were too much for me to continue taking the drug. I tried the 12-hour redi-tabs before bed to alleviate daytime drowsiness, but they cleared my sinuses halfway and left me drowsy for 24 hours. F 25 2 days

 1  hayfever and other allergies Extreme angry depressive moodiness, crying and self-pitying jags Have taken off and on for the past 5 years or so. Never a problem until the last week. Seemed to go crazy, feel on verge of nervous breakdown, couldn't sleep, angry and weepy, feeling like life had no joy. Could imagine snuffing myself if this went on very long. One of my brothers has had depression because of Claritin. So I think I will be steering clear of this from now on. F 55 5 years

 1  dust allergies I feel drunk, stoned, dry mouth, sleepy even though it said non drowsy I won't take this again. Its freaking me out the symptoms that I am feeling. I'm a stay at home mom with a three year old son and if I knew that I would be feeling like this I would have never taken this medication. M 35 1 days

 5  Allergies Prescribed for 90 year old mother-in-law. When off of Claritin because there seemed to be no allergy symptoms, she lapsed into abnormally confused and paranoid state - unable to communicate. Claritin was started again and she improved significantly. Has anyone else dealing with someone with dementia experienced this with the use of Claritin? It has happened three or more times, so it seems more than coincidence. F 90

 1  allergies all that have been listed on here already. it was a horrible year of my life. It is NOT only Claritin D that causes the moods and other severe side effects. I was on regular Claritin! To the person that claims that only the Claritin D causes side effects, you are very wrong. Check your facts. F 27 1 years

 3  Allergies Please people-post in the right section. If you are taking Claritin D then you are taking the decongestant part of it. That's what the D is and that's the part that makes you freak out, anxiety, anger. I can't take D but it's hard to figure out posts on here when people are posting experiences with Claritin D and not just plain Claritin. Know what the hell your taking and posting on. All that being said-I don't react well to D at all. Jitterness, bad anger. The regular claritin seems the lesser of evils of Zyrtec and Allegra. M 36 7 days

 1  allergies Extreme moodiness - mostly feeling unlike myself and depressed. I had feelings like everything was out of my control and felt on the verge of crying for almost two hours. Caused muscle soreness. The first dose I took made me feel extremely out of it and almost zombie-like. I felt as though I was moving in slow motion. I took Claritin D-12, twice a day for three days to get rid of a horrible runny nose and watery eyes. The allergies cleared but it was not worth feeling horrible. I will not recommend this medicine to anyone. F 17 3 days

 1  Allergies Usually I tak Claratin D 12 hours, as needed but my allergies picked up more over the summer with watery eyes and congested head. The pill helped clear my head and eyes, but I started getting heart palpitations and very stiff joints. I also found myself crying for no reason. Since I have stopped taking it about 5 weeks ago, my joints have stopped aching and the palpitations have reduced but they are still there. F 46 6 months
