 3  Seasonal Allergies I have severe lower back pain so severe I was off work for several days this month and unable to even dress myself. I also have frequent urination and chalked that up to menopause but after reading the side effects others have I am beginning to wonder. I also have very dry eyes and my appetite has increases greatly causing a lot of weight gain. It does 95% of the time relieve my allergies. F 45 2 years

 1  itchy eyes and post-nasal drip After 1 dose of allegra, my throat felt much better and my eyes were not itching....however, the anxiety and nervousness i felt even 12 hours after taking was horrible. i was extremely hungry and my hands were mildly shaking. I think i'll keep my snotty throat and itchy eyes. F 46 1 days

 1  allergies Experiencing extremely dry mouth/throat, frequent urination, some of the usual I’ve experienced with other allergy medications. However, with this medication I also experienced increased heart rate, dizziness, loss of energy and motivation, some abdominal pains and nausea. It makes me feel like I’m either going to puke at any second or pass out from the pounding heart and dizziness. The medicine works against my allergies, but side effects were bad enough to make me google these side effects to make sure I wasn't the only one! F 26 2 months

 3  seasonal allergies depression, disturbed sleep, dry mouth this is my fifth year taking allegra during allergy season (only taking it aug-oct). Last year was the first time I made the connection of what I thought was periodic depression and allegra and felt better after I stopped taking it. It was like being in a fog of bad judgement. I was suddenly miserable in my formerly happy marriage of 12 years, nothing seemed to make me happy, life was horrid and all grass seemed greener on the other side. I had daydreams of divorce! Now I'm on day 1 of taking it again for this allergy season and am dreading the coming side effects. No other drug works as well for my severe ragweed allergy. F 37 1 days

 1  Allergies After 2 weeks on the drug I had terrific back pain (I thought I was having a kidney stone attack it was so bad); my hips and knees were killing me. I have arthritis so attributed it to that until I came to this site. I stopped taking Allegra about 5 days ago, and I am slowly returning to normal. The back pain went away immediately and the hip and knee pain is gradually getting better. What a shock! Thank God I found this site. F 62 2 weeks

 4  Seasonal allergies/itchy eyes I didn't really notice any side effects I work outside and it really helped my problem with itchy eyes. It seems like there's a lot of complaints about Allegra which surprised me. Seems like the only people who come to this website are the ones who have bad experiences, when there's probably a million people who loved the drug. M 20 6 years

 2  Hayfever, pet allergies Slightly depressed feelings, more emotional than before. Sex drive is decent. Not able to maintain erection. Premature ejaculation. Anyone else have a sex drive or sex related problem with this stuff? Although this clears my allergies, I begin to wonder what it's really doing to me. I think that it gives me some bouts with depression and because of that, it may be the cause premature ejaculation. Don't recall ever being like this before the Allegra. Never remember feeling that way on Clarinex or Zyrtec. M 26 1 years

 3  allergic to my wife's cat I've only been on it a week or so, but I've noticed sore feet all day long, difficulty focusing my eyes, a reduced sex drive, and today some very sharp tendinitis-like pains in my hand that I know weren't there before (I play guitar, so I pay attention to how my hands feel). The drug has done a pretty good job of clearing up my sinus congestion. The side effects for me are a little worrisome, though. M 33 1 weeks

 1  Seasonal Allergies & Itching Until coming to this website, I thought it was only me - this stuff is driving me insane - my anxiety level is sky high and I already take an anti-anxiety med - I was switched to Allegra because of my insurance not wanting to pay for my clariniex - but after experiencing these type of side effects, I will pay a higher price somehow to go back to my Clarinex.

 3  hives I experienced sudden/sharp lower back pain, became mopey and slightly depressed. Lower sex drive. But it significantly reduced my hives (food allergy related). I was taking 75mg twice daily. After I discontinued taking allegra, my mood changed back to normal. If I decide to take it again I will likely reduce my dosage: Maybe just one 75mg tablet every other day -- which means I would go from taking about 60 tablet/month to 15. M 42 6 months

 1  spring allergies Lower leg pain from the back of my knee to my ankle. Both legs ached and felt very stiff. Forgot that last year my legs ached after taking Allegra, it wasn't until yesterday that I remembered that this same thing happened last year. I stopped Allegra 3 days ago and my aches are slowly starting to go away. My insurance denied Zyrtec. I don't know if they are the same, but I would never take Allegra again. F 43 3 months

 1  allergies Took Allegra for the first time yesterday around 1pm. By 3pm I had pronounced lower abdominal cramping-similar to menstrual cramps. By 4:30pm I had nausea. The nausea became more several as the evening went on. By 8:30pm I was violently vomiting. The violent vomiting continued until about 4am this morning. This morning I have some aching in my hips and lower back. Could be from the vomiting-unknown. Use caution when trying this drug - it has some pretty disturbing side effects. I WILL NEVER TAKE IT AGAIN!!! The horrible side effects don't make up for the lack of snot. F 35 1 days

 2  seasonal & general allergies Dizziness, dry mouth, depression. Had allergies under control until I had sinus surgery for acute and chronic sinisitis this spring. Then I had severe allergic symptoms (stuffy head, vertigo, post-nasal drip---the whole gamut. Dr. prescribed Allegra. Made the symptoms WORSE. Dr. said it was a "rebound" effect, and to "hang in there." After reeling around like a drunk, I quit. Am trying Clarinex (day 1)---feel much better. Will return to Zyrtec is C. does not work. F 75 15 days

 5  seasonal allergies some dry mouth initally Allegra worked great for me. I had no side-effects and it sured my almost constant inner-ear problems. It totally saved me from a constant dizziness and naseau. F 37 9 years

 4  severe seasonal allergies On brand name allegra (60mg on/off during allergy season) - none. On generic fexofenadine - frequent urination, wake up in middle of night (do sleep once I use bathroom), headaches, and joint aches. Allegra worked great for me. It was the ONLY allergy medication for me with no side effects, but it's expensive & insurance won't pay for it. Switched to generic. Generic does not work as well, and produced side effects. Recently switched to Clarinex (desloratadine). Formerly used oc Actifed which is now off the market. F 44 5 years
