 2  Hives Severe menstrual cramps, stomach cramps, backache, bloating, fatigue It cleared up the hives (which were AWFUL) but I've had 2 occassions now where my stomach cramped up so badly that I actually threw up. The first time the cramps lasted for an hour and a half and the second time they lasted for about 30 minutes. Both times they were extremely painful. I switched to Claritin today to see how that goes. F 37 3 weeks

 5  Seasonal Allergies I never really had any side effects at first... occasionally I would get headache's. This allergy medicine is the only one that doesn't make me sick. I have been taking 180MG tablets for 3 years now. M 27 3 years

 4  sinusitis, postnasal drip, hives feel kind of anxious and "high", almost too buzzing to drive safely I've taken allegra on and off for about twenty days over the past year. It seems to help and I like how it doesn't make me super sleepy like other medicines. For those of you with hives, I recommend keeping a food journal. I discovered after keeping a journal for a year that I'm allergic to foods labeled "manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts." Since then I avoid those foods (a huge hassle) but I never get hives. Yeh! F 31 20 days

 2  allergies year round The headaches I experienced were much more severe than the headaches from allergies. Wanted to try for at least one week, but had to quit after 4 days, as woke up all night with headaches and facial pain. F 70 4 days

 1  allergic reaction to a spider bite vertigo, nausea and diarrhea F 53 3 days

 3  Allergies Menstrual cramps and back pain, constipation, abdominal bloating and severe gas 10-15 days a month. Worked great for my allergies. Too bad about the side effects, which grew gradually worse throughout the years and subsided as soon as I stopped taking Allegra. F 44 6 years

 1  Seasonal allergies Weird dreams, lack of judgment re: spending money, bad taste in mouth. I didn't see it in anyone else's comments, but when I take Allegra I feel almost COMPELLED to buy things. While I have read that this is a side effect for Parkinson's patients on dopamine, I can't document any connection for Allegra. I just know that when I quit taking it, those feelings stopped. I have fibromyalgia and I take Paroxitine for depression that sometimes accompanies an uncurable painful disease. F 55 3 years

 3  Seasonal allergies Heart palpitations, difficulty breathing at night--eventually diagnosed as supra ventricular tachycardia (SVT) The medication worked great in terms of treating my allergies and didn't leave me drowsy or hyper but I have had to discontinue after the SVT diagnosis. Claritin caused similar symptoms. I think the pharmaceutical companies should make this known a significant possible side effect F 38 6 months

 3  Allergy - congested sinuses Very disturbed sleep, wake up every 30 minutes. After several days have developed headache, could be from lack of sleep. Seems to help the allergies, but I will discontinue due to the side-effects being worse than the symptoms. M 42 5 days

 5  Seasonal Allergies Drowsiness, nose bleeds, dry mouth I have Type 2 diabetes and was hesitant about taking another medication since I am able to be treated for my diabetes in pill form. Seasonal allergies have gotten worse for me in the last couple of years and OTC medications just didn't work. Allergra works but there are some side effects but being able to breathe and not sneeze every time I step outside I guess I can learn to live with the dry mouth and drowsiness. M 48 7 days

 4  severe allergies sore joints / bones (lower back pain, hand/knuckle pain, general overall aches), tender skin and muscles, insomnia my allergies are so severe that i had to start taking two 180 allegras daily. one helped a little with no side effects. two helps completely and gives satisfied relief, however i started feeling aches in my hands and lower back. the joints in my hands were tender to move and my tailbone was sore to even touch. going down to one allegra daily helped clear these symptoms, but now my allergies are taking over again... F 33 2 years

 5  Seasonal allergies, hives Mild stomach problems, diarrhea the first few days FANTASTIC medicine, I never knew I could breath so clearly. I'd also been waking up with swollen lips and eyelids, having breathing problems froma swollen throat. Now it's under control. Other antishistamines/decongestants made me nervous and jumpy, were difficult to sleep with, but after taking it this long i've been pretty happy. Worth trying and better than Claritin. F 24 3 months

 1  Allergies Tendinitis. Very bad pain in shoulders. Pain felt on bones along shoulder, sore when touched. Also, muscles feel weak, seems like my arms weigh a ton to lift. This is my second go around with this medicine. All of a sudden my tendinitis flared up for a second time, that's when I started to wonder if they were connected. Still not sure, but I am going to discontinue it and hope it goes away! M 40 3 days

 5  Seasonal allergy None. I began taking allegra when I was having persistent nasal drip which was then causing flu-like symptoms and, when unchecked, developed strep or worse. I was perpetually dry-coughing, tired, runny nose--the usual. I had never had allergies before but was told by my primary care physician, often, a person can develop them later in life--and that seems to be the case where I live (DC-metro area). F 32 2 years
