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 | 3 | year round allergies | lower back pain, IBS type symptoms. Lots of colds. | was taking it for almost 4yrs without any real problems/pain. out of nowhere began being constipated w/ abdominal pain. changed my diet, nothing helped. noticed the abdominal pain subsided when i stopped taking it for a few days. it really helped my allergies for the most part. . but some things are more important! | M | 28 | 4 years | 1/10/2005 | 1 | HMO recommends over Clarinex-$copay | The morning of the second day I was very fatigued and had a backache. It took most of the day before it occurred to me that these are Allegra side effects. I stopped taking Allegra after two days and 4 days later have come down with a bad upper respiratory cold. Since it is the first cold I've had in about 3 years, I feel it is very coincidental and presume it may be due to the Allegra. UgghhhI feel awful! | Back to Clarinex for me. | M | 44 | 2 days | 1/3/2005 | 1 | Sinusitus | Rapid hearbeat, anxiety, nervousness, extreme lower back pain, sleeplessness, migraine | I would say that if you are sensitive to antihistimines...dont even try this. It made me feel like I was jumping out of my skin and gave me a horrible migraine. I will never take this again. Quit taking it after 3 doses. | F | 28 | 3 days | 12/30/2004 | 4 | allergies | After taking Allegra 180 for 5 weeks, and having complete relief from my rhinitis and hives, I started having severe pain in my lower left side and back. I stopped taking it. | F | 57 | 5 weeks | 12/19/2004 | 4 | seasonal allergies | mentral cramps, back pain, coughing, constipation | Despite all the side effects, I prefer Allegra over other allegy meds. Feeling alert and awake is a huge plus that Allegra has over Claritin, and it's very effective. | F | 29 | 1 years | 10/18/2004 | 3 | | 10/18/2004 | 4 | allergies | The only thing different I have noticed is acne? | This is the only allergie pill that I have taken that I can function on! | F | 38 | 30 days | 10/16/2004 | 4 | Seasonal Allergies | Nervousness, dry mouth, acne, vertigo | I'm normally reluctant to take medication; this helped my allergies, but trying to decide if side effects worth it. I've only been on it for three days | M | 28 | 3 days | 10/11/2004 | 3 | Allergies | constipation | Claritin totally did not work; Allegra seems to alleviate but not totally eliminate my allergies to our household pets. Totally stopped me up...waste throughput a painful 2x per week! | F | 43 | 14 days | 9/27/2004 | 5 | Hives | None while I'm taking the medication, but if I miss a dose or change the dose I get depressed - does that make any sense? | Before starting the allegra I was getting hives from everything - heat, cold, water, anxiety, you name it! The allegra eliminated the hives completely. It's great not to be itchy anymore! The depression thing worries me, though. As long as I take the pill at the same time every day I'm fine, but if I miss one dose I'm miserable for days...Is that normal? It's not listed as a side effect on the package... | F | 22 | 3 months | 9/21/2004 | 2 | Seasonal Allergies | Drowsiness, headaches, got a cold & have also been experiencing leg cramps after I started Allegra | I am so tired when I take this! I look horrible. Dark circles under eyes from trying to stay awake. Finally took a nap & feel better, but in reality, this doesn't work for me. I have two kids. I have to stay awake! | F | 29 | 10 days | 9/1/2004 | 5 | Hives | None | I have had unexplainable hives for over 4 years now, and the Allegra works very well at keeping them under control. | F | 25 | 4 years | 8/19/2004 | 1 | mild asthma, gardening allergies | Depression! | The depression was severe and became apparant to myself and others on the second or third day. When I figured out it was the Allegra, I stopped taking it immediately. The next morning I was back to my normal balanced self. This was about three years ago. I was so glad it was given to me as a sample. | F | 49 | 4 days | 8/13/2004 | 4 | allergies | cough | F | 59 | 3 months | 8/5/2004 | 3 | allergies | anxiety/difficulty sleeping | worked really well in relieving allergy symptoms. | M | 2 years | 7/26/2004 | 4 | seasonal allergies | None in the first two years, but in the third year, after resuming daily pills for seasonal allergies, I began experiencing severe headaches, earaches and cold symptoms. | Worked great but now I am a little concerned about the side effects. | M | 31 | 3 years | 7/14/2004 | 1 | sinusitis, vertigo | drowsiness, made the vertigo I already had worse, cold feeling and uncontrollable shivering, feeling of throat closing up, difficulty breathing, dry mouth | I will never take this again! | F | 39 | 1 days | 7/7/2004 | 3 | sinus & allergy | on my second dose i woke up FLUSH & PUFFY & had trouble breathing. I was sweating profusely. | M | 61 | 2 days | 7/5/2004 | 4 | allergies | sleeplessness if product taken in evening | controls allergic responses (sneeezing, runny nose, post nasal drip) better than any other product I have tried | F | 59 | 10 days | 6/30/2004 |
