| 1 | seasonal allergies | I'm on my honeymoon.....I married a very sexy woman....I can't get it up guys. Can't keep it stiff. Try consumating a relationship when you have erectile dysfunction. 2 very unsatisfied people on this end...Thanks claritin....my wife thinks she doesn't do it for me.....try explaining that one... | M | 24 | 3 weeks | 5/27/2009 | 3 | Congested and blocked ears | my congestion was relieved but it really effected my libido. I was unable to get an erection during sex no mater what and then started ejaculating without an erection or orgasm. Really freaked me out. | I found this site and saw guys with similar problems like mine so I flushed the pills down the toilet. Not all that great. | M | 29 | 3 days | 5/13/2009 | 1 | runny nose sneezing itchy eyes. | I took it for a few weeks a couple years ago. quit taking it due to mood swings. I recently took it and did't think about the previous side effects...well I almost lost my girlfriend and my job due to the jittery nervious side effects. Also experienced ittitabilty and just was very hard to get along with. | It really should be pulled off the market...yeah it works but I would rather have the runny nose than to be unemployeed and alone. | M | 2 weeks | 5/12/2009 | 2 | Idioathic Anaphylaxis | Although the claritin D 24 hour stopped severe drops in blood pressure from anaphylactoid symptoms, I ended burning out my adrenals and it caused severe drops in blood pressure from position changes and dehydration. It also seemed to cause a small heart murmur, racing heart rate, thyroid goiter (and therefore difficulty swallowing and hair loss), and shortness of breath when laying on my left side. General malais that improved once off the drug. Muscle fatigue. | Please be careful when taking this drug if you have a thyroid condition, adrenal insufficiency, or heart condition or if you develop these conditions while taking this medication. | F | 28 | 3 years | 4/22/2009 | 3 | seasonal allergies | After only 3 days of taking the 24 hr Claritin-D, I started getting an intense, fairly sharp pain at the bottom of my stomach. Then I felt cramps, churning in my stomach and intestines. This lasted for about 12-15 hours after taking the third pill/third day. Early this morning I woke up without stomach pain. Since I was not taking anything else, I am assuming the Claritin-D 24 hr is the culprit. | I started taking the D 24 - recommended by my doctor (first time I ever took it), over the regular Claritin because the pollen count in my area was quite high. (My doctor could see the pressure building in my ears.) Normally I get itchy eyes, runny nose. This season - itchy eyes, pressure in the ears, and my throat felt swollen. Maybe the stomach problems were coincidence......but I don't think I will take the chance again unless I am even more desperate. I am going back to Alavert, regular strength. I had good luck with that before. I rated it a 3 because it does "work" (itchy eyes are gone)......like dropping a sledge hammer on your toe will work to take your mind off another pain. I would NOT recommend the D version to anyone I like or don't know. | M | 44 | 3 days | 4/19/2009 | 3 | Seasonal allergies, Pet allergies | I started taking Claritin D to help keep my pet allergies at bay. When I started taking the product I already had a slight cold. After using this medication since March 21 it seems that my cold does not want to leave. My congestion clears up for a little while then it comes back with a vengance and usually at night. It's suppose to work for 24 hours. Obviously, that's not the case. I'm trying to ween myself of the medication but so far, if I stop it really hits me. I also experienced dry throat, sleepless night, and for some reason, it seems to have triggered my asthma which I haven't suffered from since childhood. | Side effects of this medication should be made perfectly clear to the consumer especially regarding long term effects. | F | 35 | 27 days | 4/16/2009 | 5 | I have allergies all year long. | I just took a Claratin-D an hour ago and I'm starting to feel light headed. | I have really bad allergies and have used regular claritin years ago. I stopped using it and switched to other products but no luck. I just bought some claritin-d 24 hour for the first time. I have very bad nasal congestion and one nostril is always completely blocked, espeacially at night. I hope this will give me some relief and will report any other side affects if they occur. | M | 38 | 1 days | 4/15/2009 | 4 | allergies | light-headed (like i've had 2 glasses of wine), loss of appetite | I'm only 1 day in, but I've already noticed that I'm not hungry at ALL. I had to force myself to eat a banana this morning, and its been 6 hours and still no hunger. I'm usually over-eating (hey at least i'll lose a few pounds). I also feel light-headed. Not enough to interfere with work, but enough to notice it. | F | 23 | 1 days | 4/15/2009 | 3 | skin irratation/eczema | The main side effect I have experienced is total loss of sex drive. I am 24 years old and typically had an active sex drive, but since taking claritin 24 hr, that has all but completely diminished. | I am glad to see that I am not the only person experiencing these side effects. I finally put two and two together when I actually sat down and realized that my lack of libido has been occuring the exact duration of time I have been taking claritin. | M | 24 | 2 weeks | 4/8/2009 | 4 | decongestion, | watery mouth, constant urination, sleepiness | I keep having to swallow my saliva constantly, or I try eating something salty. | M | 19 | 2 days | 3/26/2009 | 4 | Allergies | Significant insomnia and minor muscle aches | I always take Claritin-D 24 hour when I start suffering from my allergies. No other medication seems as effective. The downside is insomnia and muscle aches for 1-2 days after initially taking the drug. | M | 22 | 2 weeks | 3/23/2009 | 4 | Allergies-sore throat ..sinus drain | shorter patience, less sex drive-although everything functions fine. | I take the 24 hour dose everyday to avoid nasal drip, itchy eyes and sore throat. I experience sinus drain problems if I go more than 48 hours between doses and can lead to sore throat. It works great for me where zirtec does not. I live in Florida if this makes a difference. I have had bad allergies all my life and claritin has been my savior! I can live with the side effects. | M | 44 | 10 years | 3/20/2009 | 5 | I did have allergies... | Loss of appetite, burst of energy, dry mouth | I absolutely love Claritin-D! I used to use regular Claritin, but last year my allergies were especially bad. I decided to try this stuff and I was extremely satisfied! I had just had a baby a few months before I started taking it and I was having trouble losing the baby weight. I started taking Claritan-D and I literally had to force myself to eat! Even pizza didn't appeal to me anymore! I ended up losing quite a bit of weight. I believe I was down to 90lbs for a while. Just a warning: This might only pertain to petite individuals (I only weighed 115 max to begin with,)but after taking this drug for a while it becomes very dificult to eat for days, even after you have quit taking it. I would recommend that this drug be taken every other day or so to avoid this appetite malfunction. Also, due to my starvation, I was always in a bad mood. | F | 22 | 14 months | 3/17/2009 | 3 | For Plugged Up Ears | I have been having frequent urination, urge to pee, I pee large amounts at a time, unlike a UTI... After looking at the other comments, I think I might could add that I did notice I was unusually depressed this week (although my hubby was gone an extra long time) but I seemed to be easily upset over many lil things... but mostly I think it may be the medicine that is making me pee so much. | In addition to the peeing alot, I've also lost 8 lbs this week! I am on Weight Watchers, but I've never lost so much at one time... this was concerning.... and I am figuring that afterall- I DID pee ALOT of liquid out! I'm guessing it's this medicine. ON the upside: 2 nights ago, after taking this stuff for @ 1 wk, and before that, I tried the Advil COld & Sinus, I did start feeling intense heat & moisture & noises, as if my ear was draining. Perhaps it is doing it's job? I do hope so, and quick, so I can lead a "normal" for me- life again soon! ;) | F | 30 | 7 days | 2/26/2009 | 3 | allergies, snoring | disrupted sleep patterns, hair loss | This is really all about the hair loss... I never made the connection- I lost a *ton* of hair while taking this drug- huge amounts of it wound up in my shower drain, every day. I started to be able to see bits of my scalp (and I'd always had a lot of hair). I thought it was just getting older or some sort of genetic thing. I stopped taking claritin about 2 months ago- and the hair loss seems to have stopped! Now I just hope it starts growing back. I'm posting this for anyone else looking for info on this connection- if you're on Claritin D and suddenly losing your hair- bingo! May not happen to most people, but some of us must be very sensitive. | F | 39 | 1 years | 2/24/2009 | 5 | year-round allergies | Does give me a "wake-up" similar to coffee, but not anxiety or jittery | I have taken Claritin and Claritin-D (12 & 24) for 15 years with no problems and great relief of allergy symptoms (itchy eyes & throat, sinus congestion, sneezing). I got allergy shots for 5 years, but still needed claritin in addition to the shots. The effectiveness wanes occasionally and I have tried allegra, zyrtec, and others with no significant relief of symptoms. All meds work differently for all people and the side effects vary widely from person to person. My parents with allergies have good results with zyrtec, but not with claritin. | F | 42 | 15 years | 2/6/2009 | 2 | seasonal allergies | TERRIBLE fatigue and weakness; general malaise; loss of appetite; weight loss | I've been taking this drug about 2 weeks. I have been so tired I can hardly function. Today, I am so zoned out, my poor kids have had to take care of themselves. I love food, and I haven't really wanted to eat for the last 7 days. My tiredness has gotten increasingly worse each day. I was really freaking out thinking something was very wrong with me...after reading all these reviews I am convinced it is the medicine. I am not taking it anymore! | F | 38 | 2 weeks | 2/4/2009 | 3 | Cedar Fever | Racing heart; Dizziness; Tight head | This week is the first time I've tried Claritin D. It worked so well for my cedar fever (itchy watery eyes, runny nose, sore throat, etc...) that I started taking it every morning. This is probably the 5th or 6th time I've taken it and it may be the last. All of the sudden my heart started racing, I got dizzy and my head got really tight. I think my heart has slowed a bit, but my head still feels very strange. I'm at work and it's making it very difficult to get things done. I am not sure whether the relief from the allergies is worth this feeling. I will likely try the 12 hour instead of the 24 hour next time. | F | 29 | 6 days | 1/23/2009 | 1 | Bad Allergies | NO SEX DRIVE!!! Dry Mouth, Stomach Bloating, Jittery, Extremely Alert. This stuff makes you feel like you're high on drugs. After only about 12 hours after taking it I noticed something in the "sex" department wasn't right. I can't wait until this crap is outta my system!! | Any questions feel free to hit me up | M | 30 | 2 days | 1/19/2009 | 1 | allergy | Dry mouth, jittery, anxiety. It may have helped a little with my allergy symptom of a stuffy nose but 24 hour means 24 hours of the above mentioned side effects including inability to sleep. Will not use again. | F | 56 | 1 days | 1/18/2009 |
