| 3 | year-round allegies | Possible malaise, depression, and/or feeling of anxiety. | I just started wondering if it causes depression or malaise, because my effectiveness at work has decreased since taking it daily.... now I am surprised to read how many others think so. (Time to switch!) | M | 38 | 9 months | 7/1/2005 | 3 | Hayfever | Definite loss of appetite...I didn't even want to look at food even though I never had any nausea. I had a fast heart beat and felt a little jittery. I slept only 5 hours and stayed wide awake all day. Last, but not least; bad cotton mouth. | My nose still felt like it was runny, but nothing was there, and my throat was still itchy, but that could've been from the cotton mouth. | F | 19 | 1 days | 6/7/2005 | 1 | Elevated heart rate by day 4 (100 bpm), dry mouth, palpitations felt in chest and throat ,tight chest, increased respirations. Also some anxiety noted . Side effects similar to those of a stimulant such as ephedrine. | Had not noted any real side effects in the first day or so...then as each day passed on this medication, noted a gradually rising heart rate and other symptoms. I suspect that the delayed release type of delivery may contribute to a concentration of pseudoephedrine in the blood serum if they don't release as designed for any reason. I would STRONGLY recommend avoiding a 24hr form of this preparation . If it builds up in your blood serum, it could have some nasty consequences. Yes they keep the nose bone dry but the side effects are at best uncomfortable and at worst, downright dangerous. | M | 41 | 4 days | 5/31/2005 | 1 | common cold | Elevated heart rate by day 4 (100 bpm), dry mouth, palpitations felt in chest and throat ,tight chest, increased respirations. Also some anxiety noted .

Yes they keep the nose bone dry but the side effects are at best uncomfortable and at worst, downright dangerous. | M | 41 | 4 days | 5/31/2005 | 1 | allergies | cannot focus on anything, loss of sleep, weight gain, constipation, hyperactive, bloating, stomache pains, irritability, mood swings and zoning out and deffinately major depression. | I have been taking this medication for many years. I wish I found this sight years ago then I would have known why I have changed so much physically and mentally. After finding and reading this sight I stopped taking the claritin d and already I feel so much happier. I recomend you take something else, anything else. The government should not have approved this medication in the first place. Now I see that I have been paying all this money to the drug company just so I could feel terrible about everything. Yep, I paid them to make me miserable. That's great | F | 39 | 0 years | 5/27/2005 | 1 | allergies & sinus congestion | depression, fatigue, constant sweating(I also thought it was due to menapause}, constipation, blurred vision, irritability.(The slightest thing would make me cry). It was the worst 4 days of my life. | I had taken claritin before and i was fine....the Dr. says its that pseudoephedrine sulfate in the claritin-D that did me in..He said to stay away from anything that has it in it.(I wonder if it might be an allergice reaction to it.) I looked and felt so bad they sent me home from work. I couldn't concentrate and all I wanted to do was sleep. As soon as I stopped taking it the symptons went away the next day. Now I just take Claritin without the D and I am fine. | F | 52 | 4 days | 5/27/2005 | 2 | allergies | Severe contipation and abdomenal pain both of which stopped within 24 hours of stopping the drug | My allergies were not helped at all | F | 22 | 2 weeks | 5/19/2005 | 1 | Nasal congestion | Sleeplessness, increased heart rate (normal resting HR <50, after Claritin >70), dry mouth... Strange state of mind all together (recreational drugs come to mind). | One dose led to 48 hours of sleeplessness. It did work, however - my nasal passages were clear for 24 hours. First/Last time taking allergy medication - much rather have a bit of congestion than be a zombie for several days... | M | 34 | 1 days | 4/19/2005 | 3 | Allergy | I tried Claritin-D twice. Each time it worked great in clearing up my allergies, but I would also experience depression. | I wish I could take Claritin-D, but it's not worth the depression in my case. | M | 47 | 2 days | 4/18/2005 | 2 | Allergies (Seasonal) | Insomnia- waking up multiple times during the night. | Worked great on controlling allergies, but I felt un-rested after the night due to the insomnia associated with it. | F | 21 | 9 days | 4/17/2005 | 4 | Seasonal Allergies | Dry mouth and throat | Releaved symptoms well, except itchy eyes. I went from sneezing 100+ times a day to under 10 times. I'll watch for other symptoms since I've only been taking it for a few days. | M | 31 | 4 days | 4/11/2005 | 3 | Year-round allergies | Irritability, mood-swings, sleep loss, vivid dreams with little real rest, back/neck aches, increased and very irrational anger, frustration, depression, tenseness. | I've taken all of the Claritin forms, 12 hour, 24 hour, regular Claritin and Claritin-D. It's hard to say that it's only one that has given me such side-effects. I've been experiencing them severely recently and have been taking it off and on for several years. Allergies afflict me year-round with spring and fall the worst seasons. Such allergy relief isn't worth the anger, irritability and mood swings, which wreak havoc on my relationships. While keeping the sneezing and sniffling at bay, it hasn't reduced the sinus headaches, either. Try it. But when it doesn't work satisfactorily, try homeopathic remedies such as HASS, available at GNC and health food stores. | F | 27 | 1 years | 4/6/2005 | 1 | sinusitis, rhinitis | severe lethargy and sleepiness, headache, constipation, inability to concentrate, mood swings, blurred vision | F | 30 | 15 days | 3/11/2005 | 3 | Allergies | Constapation, increased heart rate, chest pains, tingling of shoulders, weight gain, stay awake at night, tired all the time, depressed | It helped my allergies, but caused a lot of othe rproblems. Allergist said to stop using it and use an inhaler | M | 2 years | 2/20/2005 | 4 | Year round allergies | Very mild insomnia, weight loss | I moved to western Maryland about 6 months ago and suffered until I began taking Claritin. My side effects seem to be on the very mild side, with some insomnia, waking up during the night, more intense dreams, and weight loss/loss of appetite. The benefits at this point certainly outweigh these. I can sleep when I'm dead! | M | 23 | 60 days | 2/16/2005 | 3 | Allergies | -insomnia, major cotton mouth (esp. when working out), irritability, minor depression, addiction, really bad nightmares sometimes. | This is the only allergy medication that helps me. i don't know that i agree that is should be OTC either, it seems to have more Psuedophedrine HCl in it than any other medication. I can't get off of it or I am drowsy all day and can't open my eyes, but I have been taking it for 7 years now. I would recommed going with something else if you need to start taking allergy meds.... I'm SO glad that other people are experiencing the same thing though. | F | 23 | 7 years | 1/28/2005 | 3 | allergies | loss of appetite & constipation .... OH MY GOD!!! .... family and friends suggested everything from cancer, thyroid to liver disease.... I WAS A WRECK!!! ... my doctor said | Thank you all for this site.....I thought I might go crazy .... but I am convinced after reading these testimonials that it was the Claritin-D 24 hr. | M | 35 | 3 months | 1/18/2005 | 1 | nasal problem | Sleeplessness, increased heart rate. Horrible insomnia. | First day normal, second too. Third night some low problem fall asleep and not enough sleeping as I expected. Next night horribly insomnia, high heart rate, without nosleep effects. So I stop getting this (and some next drug) because suspect it for side effect. Next night I fallen asleep at 4AM .. very bad but thanks for god for this few hours of sleeping. I am waiting for next night ... Note: acylpyrine helped to decrease hearth rate. | M | 31 | 4 days | 10/26/2004 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Sleeplessness, increased heart rate and dry mouth. | The medicine cleared my nasal passages, but was not worth it because I couldn't fall asleep at night!!! I will not take this medicine again. | F | 23 | 1 days | 10/24/2004 | 2 | allergies | while i was on medicine i had only dry mouth, weight loss,fast heartbeat but after taking for 2yrs when i stopped i have been suffering from night time asthma now i am allergic to almost anything i eat and taking ayurvedic medicine for asthma. I feel sorry for the temporary relief i was getting for clarin i should have tried alternative medicine to start with. | i started with allegra then moved to claritin and clarinex and zertec because certain health plans cover certain medication only . i am not sure who to blame. | F | 37 | 2 years | 10/14/2004 |
