| 4 | allergic asthma and rhinitis | none | i just take 1/4 of a tablet and it works great a whole tablet was WAY too strong - i felt unpleasantly 'wired' | F | 55 | 1 years | 1/28/2008 | 2 | Congestion, itchy nose, foggy head | My comments refer to taking Claritin D 12 Hour. The woman's post on 9/23/07 explains it exactly! I am wired right now, and my inability to calm down and sleep seems to be increasing (it's 2:00 a.m.). I feel as though I'm coming down off of some methamphetamine based drug. My skin is "crawling," my mouth is dry, my heart is palpitating, and I feel an overall nervousness/jitteriness. | To be fair, my husband takes this drug several times a year for relief from sinus infections; he recommended it. After rolling over an hour ago and inquiring about insomnia and irregular heartbeat, he suggested that these symptoms are possible but rare. Based on many of the posts to this site, however, it seems these symptoms aren't so infrequent. | F | 31 | 1 days | 1/18/2008 | 5 | Sinus and Ear Congestion | Owl-like alertness entire night, Dizzy, Naseous, Restless, Headache (unrelated to congestion), Jitteriness | I have to say, I know I rated it a 5, and even though I will never take this medicine again, it did exactly what the box said it would do. My congestion was so dried up, that my throat felt crackly. All of the listed side effects on the box were very present, so I guess I can't complain. If you are senstive to the effects listed on the box, don't take this, but I should have been more prepared. | M | 20 | 1 days | 1/10/2008 | 1 | Allergies | I began taking Claritin a few years ago and during that period of time I've had noticeable thinning of the hair. I was shedding unusual amounts of dry hair and losing clumps of it whenever I'd wash it, but since I never read hair loss among the side effects of this medication, I assumed it was related to stress or something else. After doing some research a few months ago, I decided to stop taking the medication and I've already noticed a significant reduction in hair loss. | The medication did not always work for my allergy symptoms. For this reason I do not consider Claritin worth the loss of my hair. | F | 27 | 4 years | 1/10/2008 | 1 | Allergies | Total loss of sleep after taking one a day for 2 days, Shortness of breath ,Tremours, Saddness from lack of sleep, Mini seizures..I took one today ,I didn't sleep last night ..and it's 11:30 now. | Pleas ebe careful with this product ,I am going to start cutting mine in half | F | 28 | 2 days | 1/5/2008 | 3 | allergy | eat less sleep well | just started taking it a week ago i take it 3 hours before bed helped me sleep and eat less i like it becouse it help me eat less if i don't take it one day i eat too much | F | 29 | 7 days | 1/1/2008 | 1 | ear pressure | Clariton D 12hr. Dry mouth, increased sinus congestion, thick mucus in throat. 6th hour no appetite, difficulty breathing. 7th hour took Benadryl to stop allergic reaction of throat closing. Restless legs, insomnia, constipation. | I can take pseudoephedrine without anaphylaxis. Must be the Loratadine. Will not take it again. | F | 51 | 1 days | 12/29/2007 | 4 | congestion | INSOMNIA I was suffering from a bad head cold for about 3 days. I took the pill about 5pm & couldn't fall asleep untill nearly 6 am. I woke up about an hour later without the alarm clock. I took today's dose at 8am. Hope I can sleep tonight. | I read other posts about weight loss. I'm actually hoping for that one. | M | 40 | 1 days | 12/27/2007 | 1 | allergies - doctor said take every | left hand , TIC in index finger , drives me crazy ... very anoying. first it felt like a heardtbeat or contact pulse all thru the day. TIC is uncontrollable. | Who can help? Any other comments, common experinces with TIC in hands, tremors or shaking of fingers. (difficult to explain) | M | 35 | 365 days | 12/26/2007 | 3 | allergies | i experinced very bad mood swings and loss of appitite it was helpful to see that others felt the same way as for my allergies it helped for outside but when i came indoors i was still sneezing and had a runny nose | F | 22 | 5 days | 12/5/2007 | 2 | head cold | I'm fairly certain Claritin-D caused some depression, weepiness and an overall feeling of sadness. After being off of Claritin-D for 48 hours, I definitely felt like my outgoing, positive self again. | F | 49 | 5 days | 12/4/2007 | 4 | Seasonal allergies | None. Note: I only take it in the morning, never in the evening. | It helps me avoid several sinus infections each spring and fall. If I take it with an analgesic(aspirin, acetemetaphine, ibuprofin)it quickly eliminates a sinus headache. By itself it relieves itchy eyes, cough, runny nose, nasal congestion, dermal reactions, etc.. It stands head and tall above any other allergy med I have ever taken. | M | 49 | | 12/2/2007 | 4 | | 11/12/2007 | 2 | ichy eyes, runny nose | My eyes were itchy and my nose was running so my mom told me to take this, I took it around 8:45 and I watched tv until around 11 then I started to try to to go to sleep. I probably got about an hour of sleep, woke up for good about 6:30. I also have very very bad back pain now. Don't know for sure if it is because of this, or if I fell asleep wrong. But I didnt have it before last night. My nose isn't runny now, but I cant breathe, but my eyes arent itchy. | NEVER LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS!!!! I HATE THIS MEDICATION | F | 17 | 1 days | 10/30/2007 | 1 | seasonal allergies | anxiety, insomnia, hyperactivity, paranoia, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath | DID NOT WORK AT ALL. After all those symptoms, my allergies remained just as bothersome as before. What a waste of money this was. | F | 21 | 5 days | 10/26/2007 | 1 | allergies first then as alarm clock | Extreme dry mouth, feeling like my throat is cracking along with terribly irritated nasal membranes, muscle aches, tendonitis, inability to get restful sleep, loss of breath, irritability, constipation, increased heart rate and blood pressure, headaches sometimes severe, the list goes on | This drug was prescribed for allergy/sinus problems but I continued taking it to help me wake up. I would take it right before I fell asleep so that in 3-4 hours when my alarm went off, I was ready to go. I switched to other prescription meds when this one went OTC but had to come back to get the alarm clock effect. After reading all these comments, I'm convinced that this drug has caused all the side effects I listed along with a ruptured disc in my neck. Your disc can rupture if you aren't properly hydrated and that is truly a problem. I still take it every night and have problems getting going without it. I have gone to the extremes to make sure I have one every night for fear of oversleeping and knowing I will feel lethargic if I don't take one. Now, I'm 'pretty much' scared to death of what I have done to myself after all these years. I recently read something about how 'meth' will not let you get the REM sleep that you need, sounds like the same sleep I have deprived mys | F | 42 | 10 years | 10/18/2007 | 4 | Seasonal allergies | After 4 days on this medication I began to get nervous and depressed. I also noticed not sleeping very well. Today I decided to see if it was the Claritin and found this web site. I will throw the Claritin away and live with the allergies. Thank you for this web site. | F | 64 | 6 days | 10/1/2007 | 5 | Allergies | I have more energy. It may have helped me lose a bit of weight. I am more motivated to take care of my affairs. Possible increase in hair loss. Shriveled turtling testicles. I sleep less. Ready to wake up and start the day. | I take it at night and have no concerns about my sleep change. I have wilder dreams and remember them. I feel quite rested. I started taking it because of severe sinus pressure due to allergies compounded by a roommate who smoked. I live alone now and am considering quiting the D version. I am looking for any downsides. I may have lost some libido but not sure. | M | 37 | 90 days | 9/24/2007 | 1 | Allergies - Year Round | Night Terrors and heart palpitations are what caused me to stop taking this medication. Claritin-D worked wonders for my allergy symptoms but after taking the medicine for at least one year, I started to experience periodic Night Terrors. Maybe it would be best for me to describe it as an anxiety attack while asleep. (I do not suffer from Anxiety Attacks during the day or any other time.) Very different from a regular bad dream or nightmare. I would be asleep and suddenly I would see something coming towards me. I would scream and wake up feeling as if I were having a heart attack. I also had several experiences of me running out of bed. Once at a hotel I was on my way out of my hotel room when I woke up enough to realize what I was doing. | It was an LCSW who asked me to experiment with my allergy medicine to see if it would have an impact on my night terrors. The results were astonishing. No Claritin-D. No Night Terrors. Yes. I even resumed taking the medicine because I could not believe that one pill could make such a difference. Sure enough.....as soon as I resumed the medication, the night terrors returned. Nothing else has worked as well for my allergy symptoms but I'd rather have runny nose, itchy eyes and scratchy throat than to deal with night terrors. | F | 47 | 3 years | 9/24/2007 | 3 | Allergy | Jitters, irregular heart beat, feel like i'm coming down from some stimulant drug binge, it's like i'm in the room, but one step removed. I can't even focus on typing this properly! | My nose isn't running and my eyes aren't watering, but I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight between the anxiety of my odd heart beat and the fact that I can't calm down enough to have my eyes closed. | F | 25 | 1 days | 9/23/2007 |
