| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ALLEGRA D | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | bad allergies + asthma | Dry mouth constantly and the occasional sore throat. Also am noticing diet reduction but am able to focus much better (possibly b/c an active ingredient is in the same pharmaceutical "family" as ritalin. No insomnia or body pain. | Works really well but seems multiple people have very adverse reactions. | M | 18 | 6 days | 4/26/2007 | 5 | seasonal allergies | insomnia, loss of appetite, anxious, jittery | This stuff should be sold as a diet aid - I normally think about food all day, but when I take this, I forget to eat. The only bad thing is the insomnia. Completely takes care of the allergy problems. | F | 27 | 30 days | 4/25/2007 | 3 | chronic sinusitis | sooo many....heart palpatations, severe anxiety, extreme loss of appetite, nausea, back pain, muscle pain/weakness, severe dizziness, and horrible dry mouth. | starting to clear up my sinuses really well, its the 24-hour pill, i'm also taking it with singulair, and the allegra seems to be overtaking everything. wish the doctor told me this. | F | 19 | 3 days | 4/20/2007 | 4 | Seasonal Allergies | Loss of appetite, mild hand tremmors, feeling a little disoriented and increased energy | I just started taking Allegra D again after being off of it for about a year. In my oppinion the side effects are well work the benefits of the drug. I take in in combonation with Flonaise, which I have no side effects from...except it makes everything smell like roses. (really strange side effect?) | F | 22 | 10 days | 4/17/2007 | 1 | sinus congestion | anxiety, INSOMNIA A HUGE PROBLEM, jittery, heart pounds, head feels buzzy, foggy like in a ton of heavy wet cotton | only took 2 a day for 5 days - which was way too much. Have not had any for 36 hours (it's 1:30am) and am feeling really jittery. I've been battling anxiety and head pressure for a year - this was tried as a relief measure - big mistake - if you are sensitive to drugs at all, DON'T TAKE THIS | F | 57 | 5 days | 4/17/2007 | 2 | Feelings and thoughts of despair and fear when there is nothing to be afraid of. Needing to pace. Accentuated emotions; especially of sadness and concerns. Cloudy vission, impaired vission, seeing spots. Near-fainting episodes. Times of unable to catch breadth. | After three days on med, was able to breathe through nose, but side effects so bad had to change to non-psudefed med. per pharmacist and then Dr. Going to try Claritan regular. | M | 39 | 3 days | 4/12/2007 | 1 | Pollen Allergy | Don't have any side effects. | Pill does not work for me. I take pill but still runny nose, sneezing. | M | 24 | 2 weeks | 4/9/2007 | 5 | year round allergy relief | heart palpitations, increased energy, dry mouth, loss of appetite | Have been taking allegra - d for years and I think it is sooo helpful (much more than just regular allegra) for drying me up and managing my allergies. I don't mind the jitteriness and loss of appetite. i would rather not deal with my allergy. I still have allergy eye drops, nose spray, and an inhaler than I use with allegra - D. | F | 35 | 7 years | 4/4/2007 | 3 | severe allergies. congestion asthma | NEVER COMBINE W lots of caffiene...i reccomend drinking none, and no alcohol. When combined with more than a couple cups of caffiene I was thrown into a severe panic attack, and almost blacked out. When taking one Allegra D a day, could tolerate a small amount of alcohol, when taking two a day, imopossible. Allegra D makes any of the effects of alcohol about 3 times as strong..one glass equals 3. This med makes me extremely nervous, makes my heart race, makes me sweat, gives me what i would describe as hot flashes, makes me dizzy and disoriented, muscle aches in my neck, back and legs, more severe menstral cramps, a feeling of being disoriented, diahrea, all of these symptoms come and go from time to time...everyday is different, with the exception of insomnia. They worsen when I start taking it twice a day, and lessen with the oppostite. Unfourtunately my allergies are so severe in the fall and spring I'm even WORSE without the med. Alegra D works like nothing else to control my seve | When I quit taking it in the past, although the drug facts say there is no "withdrawl symptoms".....I was incredibly weak, exahusted, had severe headaches and muscle pain...this lasted about 4 days. Like having the flu but much worse. It's been two without it so far and I still can't do anything that elevates my heart rate without becoming incredibly dizzy and breathless...this is my second attempt to get off this drug....i have also been taking singulair with it for 7 months. I'm currently takling allergy shots, hoping they work for me....I feel for anyone with a similar condition. | F | 27 | 3 years | 4/4/2007 | 3 | allergies | eating within an hour of taking the pill caused the pill to go right through me, undisolved. | If you have insomnia, heart palpitations, or restlesness it is probably caused by the sudafed in the product. For me the use of a 12 hour sudafed had the same results. I have found that taking a liquid multi-vitiman for over 6 months has greatly reduced my allergies and now I only need seasonal allegra, not the D. Allergy shots had little effect on me as well. | M | 50 | 5 years | 3/28/2007 | 2 | allergies | being hot, jittery, loss of appetite and dizziness | F | 41 | 2 days | 3/28/2007 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Insomnia, chest pains, Diarrhea, Dizziness, easaly irritated. | my nose dosen't hurt, but it isn't worth the trade off. | M | 23 | 4 days | 3/28/2007 | 3 | Year round allergies | Insomnia, anxiousness. I lay awake for hours, trying to get to sleep. But, I'm too jittery. I think it's these pills. I take the 12 hour tablets but the side effects last much longer! They help with the allergies but it's not worth the loss of sleep. | F | 41 | 6 months | 3/27/2007 | 3 | Allergies | Very mild diarrhea-but that was before I learned that you shouldn't take it with orange juice...my doctor didn't mention that part | This medicine has done absolutely nothing for me one way or the other, really. I still have all the same symptoms, but it hasn't really affected me adversely, either. I may be immune to it. It's the first allergy medication I've tried so far other than Benadryl which hasn't worked, either. Has anyone experience NO reaction? Have I just not waited long enough? | F | 22 | 3 days | 3/19/2007 | 4 | allergies and congestion | felt great from the congestion relief, the decongestant part of it "D" increases energy a little. Allergy part works okay, not as well as Benadryl...but the benefit with Allegra is that it does not cause drowsiness. I like Benadryl better at night. | F | 40 | 2 years | 3/10/2007 | 1 | Sinus congestion | First 7 hours were great; took pill at 4 p.m. Went to sleep at 9:30; woke up at 11 p.m. in hell. Was not able to get to sleep the rest of the night. Extremely nervous, jittery, shaking/trembling, nausea, palpitations, and heart rate of 100+ trying to lay still and go to sleep. Horrible experience. | Would not recommend that anyone with any sensitivity to medication take this. | F | 35 | 1 days | 3/2/2007 | 3 | Sinus/Severe Cold | Could not sleep at all!! Stared at the clock all night long, while i thought about everything under the sun. I'm going to stop taking it at night and only take it in the mornings so I can sleep. Makes you very alert/hyper. Only take if you don't need sleep. | F | 20 | 3 days | 1/31/2007 | 4 | Chronic Rinitis / PND causing cough | Love how it dries me up so I don't constalty cough like a heavy smoker. I thought I found my miracle decongestant (I have taken EVERYTHING Else with little relief) However, The past 2 nights, I have had insomnia and heart palpatations. Insomnia is a trade off for me because the 4 years of cough and drip have been KILLING ME. Heart palpatations scare the hell out of me, so I guess I'm back to square 1. | F | 39 | 7 days | 1/3/2007 | 3 | Allergies | In order of severity:painful menstrual cramping; irritability; anxiety; insomnia; lowered libido. | Didn't know some of these side effects were so common. It works okay for me for about 8 hours and then I have to take a second one. No wonder I wake up about 3:00 even though I'm tired and can't get back to sleep. | F | 44 | 3 years | 12/15/2006 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | I experienced a Gran Mal seizure after being on Allegra-D for 3 weeks | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 11/30/2006 |
