 1  allergies/eczema extreme fits of anger, no appetite, tiredness, hyper, changes in personality My 2 year old sons personality changed 100%. He had fits of anger where he would tell me "I don't want to be angry" but couldn't stop. I was blaming it on the "terrible twos" until I forgot to give it to him for 2 days and his personality went back to normal!!! I would NOT recommend this for children. M 2 3 months

 1  Seasonal Allergies stomach pain, anxiety, insomnia, depression, lack of energy, some constipation, and very emotional. My 10 year old son was put on this medicine for allergies. After taking it for about 10 days, he started having stomach pain, especially in the evening. He also started experiencing anxiety, couldn't fall asleep, depression, lack of energy, some constipation, and was very emotional. We were up until all hours of the night for several weeks. When I finally googled Allegra, I saw that others were having the same problems!! We took him off immediately, and the emotional side effects started gong away. It took another week for his stomach to be back to normal and he is finally sleeping again. Why is the medical community still prescribing this medication??? M 10 3 weeks

 1  Allergies Inability to sleep. "Racing thoughts," OCD-ish thoughts. I am a 39 year old Female. I suffer from mild OCD, but found this drug increased my obsessive-thinking tenfold. I could not let things go, my thoughts raced, I found myself reliving memories over and over and not being able to put them aside. I have taken this before without such side effects, but tonights experience has tauhgt me not to take it again. I hope I get some sleep. F 39 1 days

 4  Allergies None Doesn't work as well as some of the other medications I've tried, but it does provide some relief and it's the only one that hasn't given me unbearable psychological side effects (or really any side effects to speak of). M 32 6 months

 4  allergies/sinus&ear problems mental confusion,racing heart, extreme fatigue, irratability, can not concentrate on more than one thing at a time or stay focused for long I am glad I looked at this site, and have seen that so many others are feeling the same way. I was taking benadryl otc, but it would literally knock me out about 30 min after taking, so I could only take before bed, and that did not help me get through the day. I think I will give it the rest of the week (just started three days ago) and see if I "normalize". Other than that, it looks like I need to go back on the benedryl, and sleep my day away...

 2  Severe Allergies Heart palpitations, in a daze, forgetful, don't have a clear head, confusion I used to take Allegra years ago and don't recall any issues with the med, I'm beginning to wonder if they haven't changed up the ingredients, because I feel like crap, have headaches I can't knock! I feel like I'm in some kind on uphorea! Does anyone know if severe allergies trigger migraines? F 31 4 times

 5  hives none it has been a lifesaver for me. for several years, i had hives all over my back, legs and arms almost every night. since i've been on the allegra, no more hives. additionally, i believe it has helped my allergy-related sinusitis, as i've had no sinus infection since i began taking it, and i typically get 2-3 per year. a miracle drug for me. F 33 6 months

 4  allergies - runny nose, sneezing Dizzy spells. I forget about this every year and then take a bit to figure it out again. Very annoying. Doesn't quite remain effective a full 24 hours. Still the best thing I've tried in terms of relieving the symptoms and letting me remain functional. I only take it as needed, but certain times of year that's almost daily. Claritin made me feel like I'd been stomped and smushed, and about anything else makes me sleepy. F 36 6 years

 1  Sinus issues I have never felt worse. Panick stricken, depressed, irritable,severe headaches. By the 5th day I thought my head was going to explode. I had no idea that this was coming from the meds I really thought I was losing it. I then equated it to Allegra. I was also taken Nasonex. I will deal with the sinus issues and NEVER take either again. F 37 5 days

 1  Chronic sinusitis Dizzy spell, couldnt drive, heavy drowsiness Horrible side effects. could not drive and the jug handles were the worst. Had to somehow manage to go to the nearest safe place to park and had to call a friend for a ride. After stopping couldnt get back to normal for almost three days. F 29 3 times

 3  Allergic Rhinitis EXTREME Heart Palpitations (thought I was having heart attack), irregular heart beat, anxiety, headache, stiff neck Allegra cleared up my allergies after 2 days of taking 60 mg tablets. I took Allegra for one week and felt like I was having a heart attack one morning (I was 22 years old). I went to see my doctor and he said that my heart was perfectly fine. Every doctor in his office told me that Allegra does not cause heart palpitations. I stopped taking Allegra for one year and have not had a single heart palpitation since. I recently began taking Allegra again and have had heart palpitations on several different occasions, including one palpitation episode that woke me up in the middle of the night. Two different doctors (one is an allergy specialist) have since told me that Allegra does not cause heart palpitations or irregular heart rates. I beg to differ. F 23

 4  Allergies Occasional heart palpitations and a feeling that I'm a little out of breath. But it's worth it!!!! The alternative it out of control allergies. No other non-drowsy medicine has been able to control my allergies like allegra. Benadryl works too but knocks me out for at least four hours. At least I am able to function on this medication. F 28 10 days

 4  Allergies Mild headaches. Tender neck glands. Zyrtec and Claritin just don't cut it anymore. I started Allegra-D and it works like magic. No allergy symptoms whatsoever! My only complaint is I'm getting mild headaches and the sides of my neck are kind of sore. M 35 3 days

 2  Hives , now Foliculitus I only took it for a few days, as I was on Prednisone and Pepcid to SEVERE HIVES....that cleared up, went to Dr yesterday with breakout on face, neck and upper back, Dr. said Folliculitus...put be back on Allegra and Pepcid..took pills before bed....WRONG THING TO DO!!! I had heart palpitations, made me dizzy and weird in my head, was tired but had a hard time sleeping, felt like things were crawling on me...I am done with it. While I do see some improvment, albeit minor in my skin this morning, it is not worth taking the Allegra, I don't like the feeling in my head at all. This was only one dose this time...with hives took it for about 5 days and was not functioning, and crying and BLAH. I have always had a problem with antihystimines..this is no better. F 48 1 days

 5   I started taking allegra 5 days ago and it has helped me so much. I have severe allergies, eyes, nose, allergic asthma. I have used clariton and zyrtec everyday(not at the same time) and tried allegra to see if it was better. Well, it is for me. Way better. I can't believe I have found something that actually dries my nose and clears it and especially clears my eyes which usually swell because of allergies. This stuff is awesome. I am so glad I tried it and highly recommend it. I have had NO negative side effects at all from it. It is a miracle drug for me. I am taking regular Allegra (generic) not Allegra D, that is what is so amazing about the unstuffy, non runny nose. F 48 5 days
