| 4 | cat allergies | My right hip pain has been getting a lot worse and I need to stop taking Allegra to see if my hip feels better. Too bad because Allegra really has helped with my cat allergies, better than Claritin. I'll have to find something else because the pain in my hip is getting out of hand. | F | 52 | 2 days | 5/17/2005 | 1 | chronic hives | depressed, anxious and irritable | Major personality change - I went from a happy, energetic person to a weepy, whiney person. | F | 46 | 14 days | 5/9/2005 | 3 | seasonal allergies | Few for more than a year, but I did not regularly take it. After a few weeks of daily 180mg doses, I experienced sharp pain in my upper back, between scapula and spine, and also experienced some carpal-tunnel symptoms (tingling in hands, neck). Some abdominal muscle soreness. Dry eyes and mouth. | Effective at relieving seasonal allergy symptoms. I'm concerned about side effects. The broad appellation: | M | 43 | 2 years | 5/5/2005 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | severe knife stabbing pain in my shoulder/back, difficulty breathing (chest wall?), dizzy, drowsy, irritable, depressed mood swings, couldn't focus or concentrate, couldn't breath in long controled slow breaths, messed with my head. | It did prevent the allergies, but after 5-6 days side effects kicked in. I will never ever take this again. | M | 6 days | 5/5/2005 | 1 | Sinus Pains | Drowsiness, headaches, got a cold & have experienced leg cramps since I started taking Allegra. I have also been tired all the time. | As another rating said- I look horrible. Dark circles under eyes from trying to stay awake. I took it one day and these side effects began in great severity. I will never take it again. | F | 14 | 4 days | 5/5/2005 | 2 | Allergies | Vertigo, bad taste in my mouth, inability to sleep | M | 29 | 2 weeks | 4/29/2005 | 5 | Seasonal allergies | None save a lack of funds - this stuff isn't cheap. | It's worked like a charm for the last few years. This year pollen is worse, and I can feel some slight symptoms coming back, but it's still infinitely better than if I were to stop taking it or switch to Claritin (which did nothing for me). | F | 27 | 3 years | 4/21/2005 | 1 | allergies | back very tender to touch not the muscles but the skin was tender, sluggish,not able to sleep, sore throat, cough, headache,irregular heartbeat | I went to the doctor today for the skin tenderness on my back and he thought it may be from lack of potassium and did a bunch of lab work. The results came back normal for the labs. I got on here and was reading others symptoms and they are the same as mine but I have a weird tenderness on my entire back and buttocks that just a mild touch hurts.I have been taking Allegra D for about a month and I am stopping today to see if the tenderness goes away. I will let you know. | F | 39 | 1 months | 4/13/2005 | 4 | allergies/sinus congestion/itchrash | lower back ache sometimes, however now that I'm doubling the dose, may be causing a bit of a headache. 2 180's. | Too expensive!! | F | 68 | 7 years | 3/30/2005 | 4 | seasonal/pet allergies | drowsiness, vertigo, cough, hard to concentrate. It's hard to pinpoint things that could be side effects when they are happening to you. i thought i was just tired because of the time of year, had vertigo because my sinuses were inflamed. | As far as allergic symptoms go, this drug really did great. However after being on it every day steadily for the past couple of weeks, I have zero energy and i'm a total space cadet. oh well, back the doctor for some other terrible allergy medication... | 1 months | 3/30/2005 | 4 | sneezing runny nose | sore throat, cough, headache | Have taken it on and off . The longest consecutive time is 5 days. Sore throats I experience with Allegra are fairly severe. I'm not sure it's worth it. | F | 42 | 30 days | 3/28/2005 | 5 | allergies | none | worked great | F | 25 | 1 years | 3/12/2005 | 4 | allergies | I've been taking allegra for almost two years, and though I experienced some minor muscle pain and a sore throat for the first week, I took it, the only side effect I suffer from currenty is its impact on menstrual cramps. | If you have problems with menstural cramps, allegra and allegra-d can make them worse. Check the patient insert that comes with the medication (you may have to ask your pharmacist for a copy) for more information. | F | 32 | 2 years | 3/11/2005 | 5 | Cat allergies | none that I can attribute to allegra | It has worked wonderfully. No noticable side effects. I have the 180mg pills, and can get away with taking one every 36 hours most of the time, which cuts down the cost a bit. With claritin, I get sore throats a lot, but not with Allegra. | M | 31 | 2 years | 2/27/2005 | 3 | hives | | 2/26/2005 | 4 | Allergies, Sinusitis | Headaches,Sleeplessness, nervousness, mild anxiety, vertigo | M | 30 | 8 days | 2/13/2005 | 1 | Allergies | depression, dry mouth, nervousness | **Zyrtec is much better! No depression or hyperactivity with that. Allegra made me feel noticibly very depressed, anxiety, and hyper,nervous, shaky and somewhat nauseous. Also, I felt very thirsty and my throat felt worse on Allegra. I tried samples because the doctor insisted. I had Zyrtec samples before and used them for a month and did not notice any of these awful side effects. | F | 31 | 7 days | 2/10/2005 | 3 | Severe sinus problem | This medicine helped my symptoms, but I began to notice that I was extremely tired, depressed, and anxious. I especially noticed this when I first woke up in the morning. It finally dawned on me, this must be side effects. This is my second day off the drug, and I already feel better. | F | 66 | 10 days | 1/27/2005 | 5 | Hives | Vertigo | I thank God everyday for this medicine. I had horrible hives that affected every part of my body and very painful. Doctors are not much help with hives at all. Allegra kicks my hives every single time and makes life liveable again. | F | 41 | 3 years | 1/20/2005 | 4 | allergies | I had no side effects for nearly three years, then it began to affect my menstral cycle (skipping periods, periods twice a month, irregular periods, etc). I stopped taking and it has stopped. A friend had a similar experience. | F | 30 | 3 years | 1/10/2005 |
