| 4 | sinus congestions/allergies | head ache behind my eyes, can't sleep so I only take 1/2 pill, sleeping is fine now but still can't concentrate or I loose my train of thought. | It works great for the allergies but the side effects are not worth it. try something else! | F | 41 | 2 months | 4/11/2006 | 3 | ALLERGIES | muscle cramps, extreme irritability, 2 periods a month, fatigue, headaches | relieves sinus pressure all day | F | 24 | 2 months | 4/8/2006 | 5 | seasonal allergies | I've had allergies since my childhood that would start in the morning and last into the evening, but now I take a pill at 8 AM just as they're starting and they're gone in about an hour. It's the first real all-day relief from allergies I've ever had. Plus on days when I get just 6 hours of sleep it keeps me awake and feeling fine all day. On days when I do get enough sleep I have more energy, but it's productive energy (no irritability or anything). | Don't take one within 3-4 hours of bedtime though, or you'll never have a restful sleep. I also wouldn't drink coffee or anything with caffeine in it while on Allegra either, since it keeps you awake enough. I can imagine how that combination could make someone feel jittery and hyper. | F | 24 | 6 months | 4/4/2006 | 3 | seasonal allergies | In order from worst: loss of appetite (none in 3 days and counting), inability to sleep, irritability, headaches. | Works great on my allergies (which are horrible) but not worth the side effects. | M | 18 | 1 months | 3/30/2006 | 3 | Horrific sinus pain, ear infection, | Only taking once in the morning. 1st day took at 12 noon, only slept 2 hrs that night. Took at 8 a.m today; hope to get some sleep. Addtional side effects; loss of appetite, back pain, anixous. Must drink lots of water. | Did help tremendously on sinus pain in head & neck. Sinus infection caused vertigo to flair up, so I'll have to see what's worse. | F | 50 | 2 days | 3/18/2006 | 4 | allergies | sleepiness | dry nose, itchy eyes, dry mouth, vertigo | M | 70 | 60 days | 2/12/2006 | 2 | sore throat | dry throat, laryngitis | F | 20 | 30 days | 1/4/2006 | 4 | allergies | Diagnosed with allergies (mold, dust) recently, and prescribed allegra D. Daily side effects: insomnia (only 2-3 hours sleep per night), difficulty concentrating at work, irritability, dry mouth, general weakness/malaise and lack of activity (exercised 1-2 hours per day, 4-5 days per week prior, but now can't exercise as long or with as much intensity as before). Occasional side effects (2-3 days/week): jittery, mild depression and feeling as if my head is in a haze. Other side effects: last month, I stopped taking it for about 4 days and had intense headaches/pressure behind eyes; so, I continued taking allegra D and the pain went away. | IMO, it's great for allergies, as I haven't had a allergic attack like I experienced this summer (2-3 weeks of feeling miserable with flu-like symptoms, a sinus infection, and then allergic conjuctivitus). Not sure if it's worth it, yet, but I'm willing to deal with it as it's better than having another allergy attack. I just wish there was something better that didn't cause all the side effects for me. | M | 39 | 3 months | 11/28/2005 | 3 | sinus congestion | Extreme insomnia. I take it at 9am and I still have difficulty sleeping. I have been operating on only about 3 -4 hours sleep.Im glad to find this site b/c everyone says it shouldnt last so long. Good for sinus congestionbut bad for sleep | M | 37 | 2 months | 10/22/2005 | 2 | allergies/sinus | I took Allegra-D 24 hour twice in a row, and while the first time it worked great, the second time induced awful side effects, including jeeters, anxiety, loss of apetite, an over-all sense of malaise. It also caused insomnia. I do not recommend it. | M | 35 | 2 days | 10/20/2005 | 5 | Allergies, congestion | None stand out. | Excellent. Only drug I have taken that actually works without putting me to sleep. | M | 54 | 5 years | 10/18/2005 | 1 | sinus | i am experiencing intense dehydration - my mouth and throat goes completely dry about one second after taking some water; severe dehydration headache; sweating; chest palpitations; shaking/trembling extremities; i feel disoriented (difficulty holding train of thought while having conversation) the first night i suffered from insomnia, i was bouncing off the walls the entire night. i should have tossed the vial in the trash then and there. | i hope this feeling goes away soon, otherwise i will have to call 911. p.s. this is the "12 hour version" prescribed to me to take two times a day, but i only have been taking it once a day after suffering from insomnia the first night. i'm glad this drug works for some people. sadly i'm not one of them :( | F | 42 | 4 days | 9/30/2005 | 3 | allergies | Extreme irritability. Mad all the time. It took me a while to figure out what was doing it, but when I am not taking allegra-d I feel like myself. | F | 42 | 2 years | 9/26/2005 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Fatigue, dry mouth, difficulty sleeping, muscle cramps, shortness of breath, irregular menstruation (twice a month!) | The side effects were far worse than my allergies, which weren't actually relieved to any noticable extent. | F | 19 | 2 months | 9/20/2005 | 1 | 180mg | Horrible headaches | still stuffy and allergies flared up again, not worth taking for me,, horrible horrible headaches | F | 51 | 2 weeks | 8/15/2005 | 3 | Dry Rhinitis | Nervousness, tightness of chest, insomnia, irratability. | I recommend only taking one dose a day, as it will wear off after 12 hours. Whenever I took a dose before bed I had a fitful nights rest. | M | 21 | 90 days | 5/4/2005 | 1 | year long allergies, congestion | insomnia, headaches, pain behind my eyes, nervousness, jitters, loss of appetite, anxious, dizziness, and just about everything else | It doesn't work that well, and there are too many side effects that go along with it. I was using regular allegra for about 2 years but I became immune to it but I had no side effects with it. | F | 14 | 3 years | 5/4/2005 | 3 | allergies, congestion | Insomnia, jitters, feeling like I am itchy inside and outside of my skin, similar to if I've had too much caffeine. I end up being deeply fatigued. If this medicine didn't work so well for the congestion I wouldn't touch it. | Only take this when I get congested. Usually one per day when I have the allergies is enough. If I have to take two per day, that's when the side effects get the worst. | F | 39 | 3 years | 5/1/2005 | 3 | seasonal allergies | VERY bad headaches that began after taking the medicine for 2 weeks. | It worked great on allergy symptoms... but the headaches are unbearable | F | 22 | 2 months | 4/26/2005 | 2 | Seasonal allergies | Anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and loss of appetite. | I've been taking the non-D version for years and never had a problem; however when pollen counts went through the roof last week my doctor moved me to this and I immediately started having the side effects listed. I'll deal with the lessened effectiveness of plain Allegra rather than go through this again. | F | 27 | 2 days | 4/21/2005 |
