 1  Allergies Depression Anxiety Mood swings I have read the other posts on this site regarding the onset of depression while taking this drug or shortly there after. I have also noticed this problem, i have been taking pseudoephedrine containing drugs as needed since i was around 13 years old and have had a depression problem from around that time! I do not believe it to be the Claritin but the pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine is the drug that methamphetamines are derived from. If you search around the internet you will find that meth has almost the identical side effects of taking drugs containing pseudoephedrine. Methamphetamines have a devastating effect on the central nervous system, one of which researchers are finding is the shrinking in size of the hippocampus. Strangely enough, many studies are now finding that loss of hippocampal volume has been associated with depression. I truly belive that pseudoephedrine containing drugs are to blame for much of the depression in our society. If you don't believe me, start asking pe M 38 25 years

 5  Chronic year-round allergies Mild insomnia the first night, but I took the first dose as soon as I purchased it at 4 p.m. If I take it early in the a.m. before work, I sleep fine that evening. I was chronically stuffed up, sinus infection symptoms daily. Never able to breathe thru my nose. Absolutely miserable! I had been on prescription Zyrtec which worked great, but no longer have health insurance, so doctor's visits and prescriptions were getting too pricey. A friend recommended Claritin-D 24 hr, and I must say it is working fabulously! I feel like a normal person!! I do feel more energetic, not jittery though as some of the other raters are experiencing. I don't have the stuffiness, sinus pressure, runny nose, itchy eyes or sneezing. I tried using Claritin regular 24 hr, without the decongestant, but find it doesn't help my systems at all, so I went back to the claritin-D 24 hr, and I am symptom free again. I would suggest if you are going to try it, just get the cheapest smallest quantity pack and see how you like it. That is what I tried at first before buying the larger quantity packages.

 1  Allergies Anxiety Depression Dry Mouth A wierd mix of zombie like insomnia It works wonders on my allergies, but the side effects are not worth it unless it's an extreme emergency. I noticed I had horrible anxiety and felt unnaturally depressed after taking this one day. F 22 1 days

 3  Sinusitis Cleared out my sinusis, got rid of my fever, and gave me energy. I also experienced abnormal heartbeat, back pain, muscle pain/stiffness, dry mouth, nervousness, high blood pressure and loss of apitite. As soon as it started wearing off i felt terrible. I had nausea, sinus headache,sinus pressure, dry nasal passages, congestion, and loss of energy. It felt to me that this drug is addictive, because it made me feel like I was almost completely healthy again but once it wore off I felt horrible. M 24 3 days

 1  Allergies This is my 3rd and last day of taking this drug. Yes it helped but not worth the side effects of cotton mouth, sore throat, headache, nausea, a racing heart, zoning out and sleeplessness. I'm going back to Allegra! F 49 3 days

 5  year round allergies/congestion None Gee, I wish this drug supressed my appetite like the other posters!! This is the only drug that keeps my sinuses dry and my allergies under control. I am trying to avoid sinus surgery so if I stay dry, I don't get infected. I sleep like a baby also, and I take this EVERY DAY!! The only thing that I avoid is Walgreen's generic version of this med - it is awful - time release must be faulty. CVS and Walmart's versions are made by Andrx and work much better. F 44 6 years

 2  allergic reaction terrible insomnia, constipation, and erectile dysfunction...which of course made me quite depressed. well, it did clear up the allergy situation, but the side effects are indeed alarming. i went online because it occurred to me that the reason why i couldn't function as i would normally, might be due the drug. i will not be taking this drug, i can't mess around with anything that may throw off my libido...definitely gets in your head.

 2  allergies insomnia cleared me right up in about 10 minutes but experienced extreme dry mouth. Only got about 1 hour of sleep - kept me up ALL night and that's after taking 2 (twice the dosage) of Melatonin (natural sleep aid). My heart and my mind were racing all night. I'll switch back to the 12 hour pill. F 26 1 days

 1  sinusitis depression and sleepiness I felt really really different while taking this drug. I got really depressed and I just slept all day because of either the depression or the drug itself. I started researching depression online and told my family what was going on and it was suggested to me to look up a website like this so I'm glad I found this. I'm happy to find that it was because of my medicine and not just me. I will never recommend anyone take this for any reason. F 18 5 days

 1  seasonal allergy depression, chest pains, can not focus/think I am a healthy 30 year old male that had chest pains after only 2 days of taking Claritin. Depression immediately started. I quit taking it 5 days ago and my depression is slowly going away. One side note-I have never been depressed. Claritin makes me feel like a zombie not being able to think clearly. M 30 30 times

 3  Allergies I had no idea that these might be side effects of Claritin D 24hr- but in the couple of years I have been taking it I have definitely experienced loss of appetite, dry mouth, anger, irritability, depression, and I wouldn't say sleeplessness, but I was certainly more awake on this drug- like a caffeine buzz. I have also noticed a change in texture of my hair and I don't know if that is a side-effect or not. I am wondering if anyone has experienced any signs of addiction when going off this drug. I have been on it on and off for 2-3 years but have been on it every day for 6 months. The day I tried to go without, I had a severe headache and nausea and this has been the case every time I've tried to go off of it. I don't know if its just sinuses or possibly withdrawl symptoms. In any case this medicine has been very helpful in alleviating my allergies, but if it is the cause of the symptoms I mentioned, its not worth it. I've heard that GNC carries homeopathic allergy relief that works wonders. F 25 2 years

 1  seasonal allergies the decongestant worked, but the antihistamine didn't - the sneezing, itchy eyes, and mucous production just kept going. instead of being stuffed up, my nose wouldn't stop running. have tried everything else available over the counter. tavist-d does the same thing. i finally take drixoral since my insurance has a $50 deductable on brand-name prescriptions, OTC is really all that's left. drixoral works ok, but just don't wash it down with coffee, it's a bad idea. shakes, nervousness, irritability, and then a really bad crash a few hours later. loritadine in any form does me no good at all. since claratin became available OTC my options are even slimmer.

 1  allergies to trees, grass, pollen This is a poison that can either kill your heart or cause serious mental disorder. I am surprised that dealers go to prizon for selling amphetamine but drugstores can sell it without prescription. Moreover, "my doctor" ( which is huge overstatement) recomended taking it daily!!!

 1  allergies Horrible insomnia and rapid heartbeat. Well, it's 5 a.m. and I took the Claritin-D for the first time at 5 p.m. yesterday. I have YET to fall asleep. My resting heart rate is currently 90 (it is usually 60). I can't believe my doctor recommended this garbage. I will never take it again. F 34 1 days

 3  all year chronic allergies insomnia,nervousness,increased blood pressure and heart rate, dependency, dry mouth. side effects lead to severe irritability and depression. this stuff ruined me. nothing else works. i am torn between choosing my chronic phyisical allergy symtoms (which lead to anxiety and in turn, depression)... Or easing them with this medication and have the medication cause more anxiety and in turn, depression. Either way i feel like dying so i choose to be miserable with the claritin. It works great for allergies, but the side effects are awful F 22 3 years

 2  ALLERGIES VERY bad side effects. read down the column to get a good idea. it also killed my sex life. The pseudoephedrine causes dry mouth, throat, and eyes. Well i have news for you because us females have yet another membrane that needs to stay moist. I may not have been stiffling, tearing, and have post nasal drip...but i embarassingly had vaginal dryness too. within 3 days of stopping, most side effects subsided. within 1 week, all were lost.

 1  severe allergies Everything every one mentioned. All the horrible anxiety, non-stop sleeplessness, depression, moodiness, and constant dry mouth....etc Also increased night/morning asthma attacks because mucus in lungs is thicker and heavier due to the decongestion agent. i couldnt stop crying after i found and read this website. I had no idea it was the claritin, i thought it was just me. All this time...These symptoms have been debilitating in my life for years now. I am even in counsling for anxiety right now. However, I am stuck on this medication because nothing else will work and i cant live with the severe allergies i have every month of the year. Either way i suffer. I still cant believe that im not alone. By the way....it works great for allergies :*( F 20 4 years
