| 3 | Respiratory allergies | Gastrointestinal cramping, muscle fatigue, dry mouth, eyes. Lack of energy in general. | F | 51 | 1 years 180 mg | 6/9/2014 | 1 | Allergies | When I take it I feel little prickly itchy spots all over my body | My allergist is devoted to Allegra. He thinks it is wonderful. I am sensitive to antihistamines and when I take it, it makes me itch with small prickly pings all over my body. I discontinued use of this medicine, it did an ok job of managing my allergies, but the side effects could be the beginning of anaphylaxis. What's the point of antihistamine that makes you itch? | F | 40 | 1X day | 6/9/2014 | 2 | Allergies | After year of taking it successfully I began to experience Severe hair loss, headaches and muscle tension. It has taken awhile to figure out what could be causing it, and I cannot say 100% for sure Allegra is the cause, but I have stopped taking it. | F | 54 | 4 years 120 | 6/5/2014 | 5 | Severe seasonal allergies | The only side effect I had experienced was a stimulant like effect in the morning. | M | 13 | 4 years N/A | 5/20/2014 | 1 | Pet allergies | Heart palpitations, dizziness, severe anxiety, headache, numbness in legs, increased panic attacks, itchiness, unable to concentrate, depression, buzzing in ears | I just realized my symptoms started 3 weeks ago when I started taking Allegra. I've taken Zyrtec for years with no side effects. I take it at night and wake up feeling very anxious. The muscles in my legs feel weak and the fronts of my legs feel numb. I have never felt this way before. I am discontinuing immediately. Horrible side effects. So glad I googled "Allegra & panic attacks" and found this website. | F | 44 | 3 weeks 120 MG 1X day | 5/14/2014 | 1 | Just took half of 120 mg for the first time for pollen allergies. Have Heart palpitations, kinda swollen tongue or feel I want to chew. Hate it. | F | 36 | 1 days | 4/30/2014 | 1 | Seasonal allergy | Have taken Allegra in the past with good results. This is my first dose this season, and I took it at night (having heard that is a good thing to do with Allegra, Claritin, and the like). Now I have heart palpitations, am seriously thirsty (despite having lots of water), and my lips feel numb and twitchy. This pill was from the same batch I've taken before. | F | 70 | 1 days 180 mg 1X day | 4/14/2014 | 5 | Seasonal allergies and congestion | I love Allegra! Zyrtec and Claritin make me drowsy and have brain fog Allegra does not I have taken it on and off for years. It seems to possibly lost some of its effectiveness for me but other than that I love it | F | 50 | 10 days One | 4/12/2014 | 1 | Suspected Urticaria | Extreme Palpitations, Racing Heart, Breathlessness,Dizziness, Irritability,Headache. | I started taking this drug two weeks ago for red patches on my arms which the gp suspected to be Urticaria. This drug has done nothing at all to help the skin so it is likely not to be Urticaria and I think that in two weeks there would have been a noticeable change if it was going to work . But , I am not going to continue with it for a month as prescribed because I feel awful . I am having terrible palpitations , my heart is racing and feels as if it is jumping out of my chest , I feel dizzy with a thumping headache and also as if I am off balance . There has been an increase in irritability and tingling in the extremities. I was about to take myself off to A and E this morning then suddenly thought to check the side effects of this drug and I am glad I found this site . I will never take this again . | F | 46 | 14 days 120mg 1X day | 4/6/2014 | 2 | seasonal allergies | Head ache, dizziness, sleep interruptions, EXTREME irritability, funny taste in mouth, some joint pain, upper GI pain and upset stomach. It did, however, prevent my allergy symptoms. . . | I took Allegra for many years when it first became available in the 1980s. Back then, I had no problems at all. I eventually switched to Claritin. I received a sample of Allegra in the mail and thought I'd try it again after all these years. Terrible experience! Did the formulation change, or did I? | F | 52 | 2 days 1X day | 4/4/2014 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | After about 39 minutes of taking I noticed my jaw was hurting and thought it was something that I was eating or chewing so much. | F | 30 | 2 weeks 1 pill | 3/27/2014 | 1 | rash, itchy around eyes & face | I take it at 0600 and I am tired until lunch time. By day 4, I started experiencing back tightness in the lumbar area and by day 6 constant back pain to point I can barely bend over over. | My menstrual cycle was shorter than normal and more painful. This medication makes me stupid and I forget things and I am slower to process and understand complex discussions. I am stoping this medication immediately. It did help with the allergies but the side effects are make it not worth it | F | 6 days 180 mg 1X day | 3/22/2014 | 3 | Allergies | Nervousness, Anxiety, Thirsty all day | F | 43 | 1 days 180 MG 1X day | 3/14/2014 | 4 | Spring & fall allergies | Difficulty falling asleep, vivid unsettling dreams, fatigue in the afternoon after taking a morning dose | Works the best for my seasonal allergies | F | 38 | 3 years 180 mg 1X day | 3/11/2014 | 4 | Allegra-D for congestion/pressure | Anger | F | 50 | 6 days 60/120mg 1X day | 3/4/2014 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | Bad sinus pressure after taking, some palpitations after I get up, extreme fatigue. | F | 28 | 2 days 180mg | 3/1/2014 | 1 | Skin rash | It made me super tired at 10 in the morning, and after a good night of sleep. It made me depressed, and it made me constipated. I am never taking it again! | M | 51 | 2 days 18 mg | 2/28/2014 | 5 | allergies | Anger, oversleeping, crankiness, and fast heartbeat. It cured ALL my allergies.. Good stuff, just makes me feel like I'm pmsing | F | 16 | 3 weeks 180mg | 2/27/2014 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | Slight headache, lethargy, disturbed sleep/dream, as if the leg muscles does not have enough strength, higher heart beat (within few hours of taking the pill). | It takes care of allergy but it has quite a lot of side effects. I took the medicine at night. In the next morning I was to tired. | M | 39 | 4 days 60 1X day | 1/13/2014 | 3 | Year Round Allergies | Conquered symptoms. However, a few pills in, I began to have the occasional dizzy spell. Now, 2 weeks later, I constantly feel as though I'm walking around on a boat, I have "bubble head", my limbs feel weak, and of course, the mild headaches. Also, developed a pretty intense rash on both ears a few days ago, not sure if that was due to the pills or a new soap. | Yesterday, I took no medicine to rule out any interactions. Felt a bit better, maybe 25%. This morning, woke up and felt much better with only slight dizziness. Sinuses were bothering me so I took a 12 hour Allegra. Few hours later, the dizziness has returned almost full force. Discontinuing usage IMMEDIATELY. I'm shocked because I took Allegra-D for years, up until about 2010 when I switched to Zyrtec, which was cheaper but not as effective. Just started on Allegra-D a couple of weeks ago and it seems my system isn't built for it anymore. | F | 31 | 2 weeks 180/240; 1X day | 12/29/2013 |
