| 3 | allergys | F | 4 years | 6/5/2004 | 5 | chronic hives | a little drowsiness | While taking Allegra, I experienced no hives at all. It was so relieving and I could function again. Unfortunately, when I'm not taking it, my hives come back worse. So, it's more of a temporary cure. It works for me when I take it. | F | 28 | 10 days | 5/21/2004 | 1 | allergic to pollen, mold, cat | depression | F | 37 | | 5/8/2004 | 5 | hives, dermatitis, rosacea | some jitters, inability to concentrate, mildy worsens pre-existing vertigo, heightened alertness, occasionally nausea. | MUCH better for me than Claritin. I can deal with the jitters and lack of concentration for short periods, much better than I can deal with hives. Clears up my facial rash. I LIKE the heightened alertness (all the caffeine kick with none of the cappuccino calories). I have mild vertigo and Allegra makes it slightly worse, but the alternative, Claritin, makes it a lot worse. | F | 42 | 14 days | 4/25/2004 | 3 | Allergies | I liked this because it did help my allergies; however, no more so than Claritin. I can't say whether to recommend or not since people react differently to medications. These are my side affects: Very anxious and hyper. I feel like I have been | Claritin helped the same without the side effects. | F | 25 | 12 days | 4/19/2004 | 1 | lifelong allergies | I broke out into a severe rash within two weeks of taking the medication. I Quit taking to determine the cause of the rash. After rash went away, I resumed the medication for my continued allergy problems. The rash has now come back even worse.... | I am allergic to three different types of antibiotics. I just have bad luck with medication. | F | 24 | 5 weeks | 4/14/2004 | 4 | Allergies | BACK PAIN, NECK TENSION, and HEADACHES. | It worked within the week to fully eradicate symptoms. However, after taking it for 3 months, I noticed the horrible side effects. They were so bad that I had to stop taking the drug. | F | 28 | 3 months | 4/4/2004 | 3 | seasonal allergies | insomnia, anxiety, bad taste in mouth | I'm using the once daily, and it helps with my itchy ears, sinus, and eye problems. But as I sit here typing this I am real jittery, my eyes are bugging out, and I have been clenching my jaw for the entire two days that I have been on this stuff! Can't sleep, and there is a terrible metallic taste in my mouth. ECK! Think I'll go back on Flonase and suffer--I don't like feeling like this one bit! | F | 36 | 2 days | 4/3/2004 | 4 | sesonal alergies | None during the first 12 hours after taking it, but after coming out of it I get a bit irritated, and some anxiety / nervousness. Also I do not feel as energetic as when I do not take it, but alegra D makes me the least drowsy or stoned as the other ones do. | I only take maybe 20 pills in a whole year, but when I need them they seem to do the best job. I can still function and I do not have any allergy symptoms. | M | 29 | 6 years | 3/22/2004 | 4 | seaonal allergies | none | I was just given claritin as a substitute and it feels like a sudafed speedball as opposed to the neutral side effects of Allegra | M | 39 | 12 months | 3/17/2004 | 4 | To alleviate allergic reactions | Experienced low back pain and have discontinued use. Also use Rhinocort. | Have substituted over the counter Claritin and continuing to use the Rhinocort. Is turning out to be less effective than the Allegra but effective enough to provide relief. | F | 56 | 1 years | 9/12/2003 | 5 | Life-long allergies | None. | I literally could not function without it. How I wish I'd had it as a child!! I've been taking it since Hismanal was withdrawn. Hismanal was actually a little better... | F | 39 | | 9/10/2003 | 4 | Allergies | headache, stomach ache, dry mouth, odd taste in mouth | M | 30 | 2 years | 6/9/2003 | 1 | Allergies | Sleepiness | This product is horrible.
