| 1 | skin allergy | insomnia; took it twice, and it kept me awake all night. yuck! | M | 41 | 2 days | 6/26/2006 | 2 | Seasonal allergies | Abdominal pain, frequent urination and bowel movements, dizziness, nervousness, general weakness. | I'm in my third day since last dose and still not feeling well -- feel like I have a case of the flu. | M | 66 | 60 days | 6/21/2006 | 1 | Allergies | Severe muscle pain/swelling/stiffness about the 2nd day of taking medication. Mild headache, felt like I was on a rush for the first couple of hours, could only sleep at night for about 1-2 hours at a time. Tendon and joint pain. | F | 22 | 10 days | 6/14/2006 | 2 | allergies | I have been taking Clariton for 12 Days. A few days ago I started experiencing headaches, nervousness, anxiety, the jitters and insomnia. I am glad I found this site... I will stop taking Clariton. | F | 40 | 12 days | 6/13/2006 | 1 | springtime allergies | As others have noted, I experienced frightening anxiety, mood swings and depression. I normally have no difficulty sleeping through the night but found myself waking 2 or 3 times and also experienced loss of appetite and lightheadedness. | I did not notice any significant improvement in my allergy symptoms, but even if I did, it wouldn't convince me to continue. As others have said, I'd much rather have the allergy symptoms. | F | 62 | 10 days | 5/27/2006 | 3 | allergies | Claritin D worked well, but too much sudaphed. It kept me up at night. So I switched to plain claritin. Within a month I was clinically depressed. I stopped the claritin and felt fine again, albeit still allergic to Spring. | M | 46 | 40 days | 5/19/2006 | 5 | Rediculously Stuffy Nose | Zero, then again I do smoke marijuana so I might experience effects from that | I never had allergies....I was the lucky kid on the block who never got sick, and never had allergies. About 2 years ago I must have developed something, for I am constantly stuffed up all the time. Someone has told me that long-term decongestant use can lead to stroke...I want to know more about this, because I use Claratin D 24-Hour every day and have been for the past year or so. I don't know what to do without it!! Allergies suck! | M | 21 | 1 years | 5/18/2006 | 1 | Allergies | The drug (and other drugs with pseudo-ephedrine)worked well for about 10 years. I would stop taking them from time to time for a few weeks or a month in order to let it clear from my system, and then go back on again with good results. I had no real complications or complaints during that entire time frame. In 2000 I decided that I felt that I should not have to live my life on antihistine/decongestants, and that I would just bear having the allergies. Well, actually, my allergies seemed fairly contained since then. Never really getting too bad. HERE IS THE REAL PROBLEM THOUGH, something was now wrong with me (chemically speaking), after being off of the drug for more than 6 months (and BTW I took no other drugs, no recreational drugs either), I fell into a weird state of deep depression. What was odd is that I was at the pinnacle of my career (at 27) and family life. I just sold my company for several million dollars, and I just had my first baby girl about 6 months before | Since that time, I have been very ineffective in work life. I have gone though the money I made from the sale of my business without being able to parlay it into a new successful venture, which is primarily due to my depression, my chidren (now 3 of them) have had to live with a parent who is on edge and grumpy 99 percent of the time. I love them, and I feel worst for them and my wife having to deal with me. I think that it may be a likely chance that these drugs screwed me up since I took them for so long (maybe brought on the MS too). I don't know what to do anymore. I am actually, as we speak, starting to take Claritin again to if somehow my problems will go away since I did not have these problems when I used to be on the drug. I do not know if that is a good idea or not. If it works, I would much rather take it for the rest of my life and be happy than be misable and make everyone else around me miserable too. Long story short - Be very careful taking these drugs long te | M | 35 | 10 years | 5/13/2006 | 3 | seasonal allergies | I took it five days out of seven. At first it worked quite well, stopping my itchy throat, dry eyes, and sneezing. I learned quickly that I couldn't take it after noon or I wouldn't be able to sleep; but the more annoying problem occurred on day seven--a terribly sore throat. I experienced the same side effect with Allegra. | F | 30 | 7 days | 5/12/2006 | 1 | Allergies | Nearly everything mentioned! Irratability (and blamed everyone else), tired all day, awake all night (because I was too nervous to sleep). SEVERE nervousness and paranoia (I called a friend to come over when I saw the shadow of what turned out to be a chimney on a neighbours house, and if anyone was talking they were talking about me). Major weight gain, I was about 120 before taking the pills and over the course of the past few months I've come to nearly 150, and I'm not at all proned to weight gain. As for the increased heart rate and palpatations (can't spell), I wouldn't even tell my parents about them because I was afraid that something was wrong with me, but after reading these reviews, I think that it is quite likely the pills. I experienced zoning out aswell, I almost hit a fence when driving today, and I've run several stop signs, this was atleast 9 hours after taking the pills. And Weird nightmares? I've had a lot of those, and I barely used to dream. Dreaming of being kidna | I just bought a 40 pack, stupid mistake. hah. Don't buy a big pack for your first time, try a small pack and see if there are any side effects first. | F | 17 | 10 months | 5/11/2006 | 1 | seasonal allergies | COMPLETELY dried me out--my nasal passage hurt from being so dry. Kept me wired at night, like way too much espresso! | F | 44 | 1 days | 5/10/2006 | 3 | Severe spring allergies | Rapid Heart Rate 110 resting. Drove me nuts. Got worse with alcohol. | I need to be able to breathe through my nose at night due to my CPAP machine which forces air into my lungs (Sleep apnea). So this is much better than not getting sleep. Although I've had mild insomnia on it I would have major insomnia without. | F | 22 | 2 days | 5/6/2006 | 5 | Allergies | Amazingly, none. Or at least none that I have noticed. | My quality of life basically depends on this drug now. So, I'm pretty happy it exists! I've taken it almost daily for about 5 years, initially on prescription and then off the shelf. | M | 26 | 5 years | 5/3/2006 | 1 | seasonal allergy | I was wiped out tired,could not sleep and was bloated for 2 days, with abdominal pains, could not eat and when I take anything I will have abdominal pains, cramps, although it helped with my allergy, I felt worse afterwards, I would rather live with my allergy than the side effect, I felt really sick, I was also constipated, I really thought I had something really bad going on in my abdomen.I was taking gas x & mylanta with very little relief. it was a horrible experience for me. Thanks for this web site, I know I will feel much better with time. | I really think, they should let people know more about these side effects & try and come up with a better medicine, not one that help your allergies, but make life a living hell. | F | 33 | 1 days | 4/29/2006 | 1 | seasonal allergy | I was wiped out tired,could not sleep and was bloated for 2 days, with abdominal pains, could not eat and when I take anything I will have abdominal pains, cramps, although it helped with my allergy, I felt worse afterwards, I would rather live with my allergy than the side effect, I felt really sick, I was also constipated, I really thought I had something really bad going on in my abdomen.I was taking gas x & mylanta with very little relief. it was a horrible experience for me.

However, I was able to breath/woke up happy. My students said I was radiating positive energy, which was really unusual since they typically hate my class and thereby me as well. Repeated Tues 8pm. Wed same effects. Wed around 6pm I struggled to complete a walk with my family 1/2way around our block. Went home and rested to bring heart rate down (scared by this point) and difficulty getting air into lungs. Arms began to throb and chest pains began an hour later. It was intensely painful to breath, pain beginning in center of chest + moving outwards. Possibly the paranoia, but I truly feared that I was having a heart attack. In my irrational state, I refused to go to the ER because if I was going to die, I was going to die at home. Truly not my personality. This med has been put behind the pharmicist counters, but I had it from a previous package that I forgot I bought a while ago. How d | F | 28 | 2 days | 4/25/2006 | 1 | seasonal allergies | insomnia, dry hands and feet, had to get-up and urinate a few times during the (sleepless) nite; increased heart-rate; a little bit of paranoia | I do no recommend anyone taking this med. I can't believe it's OTC. | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 4/17/2006 | 4 | allergies | Within 3 hours of taking Claritin, it got rid of my allergy related symptons (stuffy nose, fatigue) and felt about 90% better. The only major side effects was insomnia and back ache. I also had major loss of appetite which cause weight loss and mild headaches. I have lost 6 lbs. in about 5 days.(This was a surprising side effect...considering I am about 15 lbs. over my normal weight.) | F | 37 | 5 days | 4/10/2006 | 3 | severe sinus & allergies year round | Constant thirst from cotton mouth, minor headache when attempting to go to sleep. | I was very satisfied with how I was able to breathe well, I've only taken one pill, but after coming to this site,.. well..reading problems others had made me kind of leery of taking anymore. | F | 47 | 1 days | 4/2/2006 | 4 | chronic sinus infections & allergy | Not really 'dry mouth," I still seem to have plenty of saliva, but the sides of my tongue get sore and almost corrugated where it presses against my teeth! Any suggestions? - I plan on continuing the medication... | I'm not actually taking the 24-hour version; I'm supposed to take two 12-hour pills, but am taking one in the morning and take one Benidryl at night instead. I've had severe allergies all my life, and chronic sinus infections that turn to bronchitis and pneumonia at least twice a year. Claritin-D has solved that problem! Of course, I had also taken sudafed (OTC) pretty regularly for years, and it never bothered me; I have a very slow metabolism, probably due to my allergies but also undoubtedly due to my physical makeup, normally I have trouble getting through any day without multiple naps. Clariton-D takes away the sluggish feeling, gives me a bit more energy so I can get things done. I'm a person who can drink coffee or cola right before bedtime and sleep like a baby, so I can see where Claritin-D might be a problem for many people, but it has worked well for me. | F | 52 | 60 days | 3/26/2006 |
