 1  Allergies Crying uncontrollably, very irritable, cranky, Moody, complaining of hallucinations!!! Seeing dead dogs and dead cats!!! I as a parent am mortified I gave this to my child on and off for over a year now and didn't know these types of side effects could happen make it so bad my poor baby has been put on a few different ADHD meds and doctors yes doctors couldn't figure out why he would be fine then nose dive well he nosed dived only when I gave him the Allegra!!! My poor child has been through so many changes this last year wish I would have connected the dots way back then and found out it was the Allegra!! I feel horrible for giving this to my child. He has a twin brother who does not have ADHD and is on no meds and had the same exact side effects hallucinations included when I gave it to his twin!!!!! Also both children complained of nightmares I will be seeking alternative meds for allergies because the antihistamines are not it!! Please not with in 4-5 days these side effects in both children subsided!!! This medication is definitely not for children and should be used with extreme caution if you dare to as an adult!!! This medication needs a take at your own risk on the label!!!.That's how horrible I feel the medication is!! M 9 5 months

 3  Seasonal Allergies 17 year old son became very depressed and lost joy in everything. i thought this was due to overwhelming process of applying to colleges. Mood change was drastic and realized something triggered change. Stopped Allegra and within 3 -4 days, mood elevated and within one week back to his old self. He never wants to take an antihistamine again, May try a steroid nasal spray. So glad i realized it was the medicine. Medicine worked and some have no side effects. Just please watch for changes closely and stop medicine to see if these are reversed. M 17 3 weeks

 1  Allergies Awful medicine! Mimicked the symptons I was taking it for..very painful facial,pain, ear pain, chills, fever, had to have a cat scan and see a ENT dr. I didn't have a sinus infection or allergies but Allegra induced problems. Stopped taking the Allegra and most of the symptons went away.. Can't wait until it's totally out of my system. It created the reasons my Dr. Told me to take it. It made my symptons 100% worse. This medicine needs to be taken off the market, This med is just awful! if you have it throw it away NOW! F 45

 1  allergy shots dizzyness, irritabilty, blurred vision, feeling amped up would rather be sleepy on Benadryl. Currently on allergy shot regimen, and they want me to take anti histamines to prevent reaction. Allegra is the only med I take and it makes me feel awful. Mean, dizzy, cant focus my eyes. Probably the worst medication I've ever taken. AVOID M 44 20 days

 1  Seasonal allergies Have been taking Allegra on and off for over a year. Been taking it regularly now for over a month due to high allergy season. Have been suffering from dizziness, vertigo, ear pain, tinnitus, fullness in ears, mood swings to point where my husband and children have stayed clear of me, lack of energy, recent muscle spasms in legs and feet like "Charlie horses" that awaken me in the night, depression for no reason, feeling "out of it" unable to concentrate, blurred vision, dry eyes, neck pain, lower back pain, stomach pain, feeling discontent. I do not suffer from depression. Have suffered from insomnia and was taking trazodone for that. Stopped taking it thinking THAT was the cause of my symptoms. Felt better the next day. No dizziness or vertigo for 3 days. Turns out I had stopped taking trazodone AND allegra at the same time be said I thought I was getting too dried out and that was causing inner ear problem. Started to sneeze and itch so took Allegra. Then next day my dizziness, nausea, fullness in ears, tinnitus, etc returned. Now after reading these posts I believe it was the ALLEGRA that was causing my issues all along. I just took my last dose today. And I'm not going to let my teenage daughters take it again either as they've experienced similar but less frequent side effects too! F 46 1 years

 1  Dermograpism I suffer from Dermograpism and it had recently flared up. I went to cvs and asked a pharmacist his recommendation because I had already been on prednisone. He recommended Allegra and it worked wonderfully for the itchiness and welts that I would get. However, I would never use this again due to its side effects. I've had trouble sleeping, sore throat, stomach problems, joint and muscle pain especially in my shoulders and arms and am very weak. I would rather endure the flare ups of my Dermograpism than to feel completely helpless and in constant pain and discomfort. Never again. I am hoping this is out of my system soon. I only took two pills and I am a wreck. F 28 2 days

 1  Allergies Psychiatric disturbances, back pain, dry eyes, peeling lips, tooth pain, fatigue, constipation Wow. Where to start. I've been taking Allegra on and off for a few years, but I recently started taking it almost every day due to sinus issues. It seems that the side effects have been building up over time. I have an autoimmune disease that causes joint pain, but I started experiencing an abnormal presentation of back pain after a few weeks of daily dosing. I was considering going back on immunosuppressants to resolve this pain. I also started experiencing heightened anxiety, feeling like I was going to have a meltdown at work. Eventually I started feeling lethargic/depressed/empty and was ready to schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist. I also started noticing peeling, dry lips, loss of appetite, and constipation. I didn't realize that it could be the Allegra causing these issues, as I have a few chronic health problems that can present with similar symptoms, but I have been feeling more like my old self after cessation of my Allegra regimene. I don't even think that my allergies are that much worse without Allegra. M 28 6 months

 1  Sinusitis,allergy rhinitis ENT gave me Bilaxten and I have a terrible gastric pain immediately changed to Telfast HCI aka Allegra 180mg per day after dinner. Experience minor gastric pain and hungry after eating it, thought it was my menses ovulation time as that day I started taking was my ovulation period . Each day I experience the same,gastric pain,stomach upset,stomach cramp,stomach flu, hunger after I took meals. Googled searched and found out it was not so serious side effects. Decide to stop consume it at 7th day. Slowly I experience back pain and backache. Slowly the stomach ache etc reduce daily as now it was the 4day that I stop taking Telfast. Strongly advise to stop taking it when it show some side effects as I took it for nearly an week then stop, it takes times to recover. (side note: it delay my period for 12 days!!) F 30

Patient History
 1  Dust allergy and full ears My legs feel weak, heavy and jumpy. I feel dizzy and unsteady even when just standing. I feel out of it like I can't think straight and there is a feeling of doom which leads to anxiety and a fear that something is terribly wrong. The insomnia is terrible. I can fall asleep because of being extremely tired late at night but wake up a couple hours later with the feeling of doom and anxiety and then I am unable to fall back asleep. The med seems to work when I first take it for my full ears but then about six hours in it starts to wear off and then the side effects start. Awful feeling! After trying this a few times and getting the same results each time I'm concluding its the med. I'm throwing it out! Never again! I'm still searching for something to help my eustachian tube problem of full ears. F 57 5 days

 1  sinus infection To my friends and family that I recommended ALLEGRA to, I'm very sorry. 2015, I took ALLEGRA D 24 and I ended up at urgent care. I could not urinate. 10mins in a stall and all I could manage was a trickle. I thought I had kidney stones. Got a really bad sinus infection, 2016. Thought I would give it a try again. This time I took ALLEGRA D 12hr, drank 3 bottles of water and same side effect. In a stall with tear coming out one eye. I was a Marine but it hurts that bad. I drank a total of 10 bottle waters, a large glass at dinner and glass by my bed. I'm having fever aches,my mouth is very dry, the roof of my mouth burns, I'm so restless that I can't sleep and it still takes 5mins to pee. I'm done with ALLEGRA. NEVER AGAIN. I WOULD RATHER SUFFER THROUGH ALLERGY SEASON. I should've read about the side effects before buying M 38 2 days
