 1  Sinus Issues I was unable to sleep, experienced uncontrollable shaking in my hands, anxiety, rapid heart beat, gas pain, felt "out of it" all night." This drug needs to have these side effects listed! I have never had a more sleepless night. I did not experience nightmares as others did, because I douldn't sleep! I am glad i found this site. I will be throwing away the children's Clariton I have, as well as the adult Clariton. BTY - my sinuses cleared up, but now I am at work and can barely stay awake. The trade off is not worth it!

 3  Stuffy nose, watery eyes, sinusitus Severe depression especially with the generic brands. Several medical doctors told me this was not a side effect related to Claritin but I am certain it is. I have a comprehensive knowledge of psychological conditions and earned a degree in this area. After taking each pill, I feel like I have been crying all day. Furthermore, I feel like I should continue crying the rest of the day. If I didn't have a solid grip on my emotions, I would definitely experience crying spells. However, this medicine is the ONLY medication that remotely controls my allergies so I have to take it. My allergies are so bad that I'd rather deal with the depression :-( F 25 3 years

 1  Alergies THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I am so glad I found this site! I have made appointments with 3 doctors, ENT, Neurologist & Internist to try to find out what is wrong with me! I have not been the same and felt there was something seriously wrong with me since taking this medicine! I was thinking a brain tumor or something! I am a very patient happy person and when I started Claritin I became, angry, anxious, had terrible thoughts and dreams, I felt like I was going crazy! After reading all of these posts I realize I am not alone and now know where to start! THROW THIS CRAP AWAY AND DON"T LOOK BACK!! I would rather sniff and sneeze!! Should be taken off the market! This is some seriously terrible stuff!! F 41 30 days

 1  allergies I am so glad I found this site. I thought I was going crazy. My 10 year old son was on this for a week. I felt like someone had taken my boy away and replaced him. He was a constantly anxious, angry, depressed, obssessive-compulsive child. It was the scariest experience I have ever had. He was even hitting himself in anger. I will never use this medicine again.

 1  sinusitis Severe joint pain, muscle aches, insomnia, shallow breathing, agitation, depression, gastric upset, gas. I am generally very fit, healthy except for sinuses. On no other medications. Taking generic 24 hour loratadine (have never taken loratadine-D) once daily. It helped some for a while, not dramatically better though, nose still runs quite a lot. Last few weeks steadily worsening joint pain. First 1 knee, then the other, then the right shoulder. Ache all over. Hurt to walk, or even to breathe. Shoulder hurt too bad to lay on back. Insomnia - normally have slept much better. Can't draw a deep breath, chest constricted and tight. Agitation, negative thoughts, depression, feeling of hopelessness. Increasing constant gas and gut spasms, pain. 2 nights ago laying awake, suddenly remembered I'd been through this before on loratadine. Quit and it all went away. Worse this time. Quit 2 days ago, getting better already. Not worth taking this stuff, throw it away! M 53 2 months

 3  Allergies Irratibility, Depression I took Claritin for seasonal allergies and it seemed to work fine when I took it occasionally. When I started taking it as a daily medication, it did not work at all to treat my allergies and left me feeling irratible and depressed all of the time. If you only need allergy medication occasionally, this is a great option. If you need it as a daily medication, I would suggest trying something else. F 28 3 years

 1  allergies My son had horrible side effects from this drug. It gave him nervous ticks he couldn't control. They stopped when he was taken off the medicine. If you have kids, beware of this drug. M 7

 1  seasonal allergies My 7 year old daughter is also on Lamictal. However we had a terrible summer when she was on Claritin. Anger, hitting, biting mom and dad. Thought it was Lamictal, but realized it was allergy season and put two and two together. It DOES control her seasonal allergy symptoms. However the BEHAVIOR side effects are not worth it. Poor thing. F 7 60 days

 1  season allergies My 3 yr old experienced anger, crying jags, couldn't sleep, hitting his sister, hyperactivity and yelling. We began to see these side effects approximately 1 hour after taking one tablet of the Children's Claritin (Grape flavor). This was recommended as a daily medication for my son to avoid asthma attacks brought on by seasonal allergies. We will need to look for another medication, since these side effects have been undesirable. I would not recommend this medication for children, based upon our experience. Side note: My son has responded in a similar fashion to one asthma medication and had to be switched. M 3 1 days

 1  Allergies Pounding headache,extreme anger/sadness I would never suggest that anyone take this pill. The funny thing is that many allergy drugs have the exact same active ingred..but something about claritin is different. The anger and sadness and despair that this pill caused is so scary. I would rather suffer from allergies any day before i risk taking this drug again. You could seriously hurt someone on this drug . never again ! M 42

 4  Allergies No side effects at this point from Claritin. It would be helpful to know whether all these comments are about Claritin or Claritin D. Something tells me they are about Claritin D. I took that once and was so drowsy that I never took it again. F 48 5 months
