| 3 | Severe Cold | Insomnia! This stuff is painfully bad to sleep. I had no idea. I feel like I am on speed or something. | M | 27 | 3 days | 2/3/2009 | 1 | Nasal drip, bad cough | Took it at 5PM, had just returned from a relax daylong of meditation. My nose cleared up quickly. Then I feel asleep at 10PM. Woke up at 2AM, feeling like I just had 2 or 3 cups of coffee! Took some Ambien that I had laying around. Woke up 4 hours later, still feeling like I had 2 or 3 cups of coffee. I feel irritable, and its dissappointing because the day prior I had spent the day in total relaxation. I'd rather have my original symptoms. This drug is a bad trip! | M | 47 | 1 days | 1/25/2009 | 2 | I have terribly blocked ears | I took my first pill last night at dinner time, and after dinner cleaned my ENTIRE house in about 25 minutes. I wasn't sure why I had so much energy until this morning when I took another pill. I took my second pill this morning at 5am before work. When I got to work, my hands were shaking and I was extremely jittery. It is now 2:05 pm and Im still feeling the same... and I smoked about a half of a pack of cigarettes already, which I never do. My ears are still blocked, but of course I only took it for one day so far. I can't say I enjoy being so jittery all day, but I havent had a single thing to eat today, so it definitly suppressed my appetite. I don't think I will be taking this pill again anytime soon. | I wish my doctor would have told me about the side effects. I asked her if it would make me sleepy, and she told me that it shouldn't, but offered no other information on side effects. I think I'll call her about that... | F | 26 | 2 days | 1/23/2009 | 5 | Allergy symptoms | Insomnia, but only with the 24-hour Allegra-D. | Initially, I was prescribed the 24-hour Allegra-D. I felt great on it but it kept me wired at night and had trouble sleeping soundly throughout the night. I'm now on the 12-hour Allegra-D and have no problems sleeping at all. I take the 12-hour pill around 6:30am. | M | 46 | 7 days | 12/9/2008 | 5 | Seasonal Allergies | NONE! | This is the only allergy medication that works for me and the best part is I had NO side effects. Most allegy meds make me feel sleepy but this one felt like I didn't take anything at all yet I was allegy free. I love this stuff!! | F | 30 | 3 months | 12/8/2008 | 5 | Allergies & Hives | Mild insomnia. Just recently experienced severe dizziness & almost passed out...Dr. couldn't find anything wrong...NOW after reading comments here, realize it was because of drinking a fruit Margarita after taking the pill. | This is the only medicine that has worked for me...having allergies since childhood. Unfortunately, my insurance will no longer pay for it PERIOD! I am now at the mercy of over-the-counter meds. | F | 49 | 20 years | 12/2/2008 | 4 | I've been taking Allegra D for about two yrs now. I have adjusted my dosage to once a day early in the morning. I don't take it at night anymore...causes sleeplessness. Never take with an antacid. You'll get the worst cramps. I also don't eat around the time I take this pill. Nausea will occur. It's better to take a dose and eat in about an hour. Every allergy symptom I have had has gone away. Sneezing, itchy scalp, itchy back, morning congestion, runny nose.........all gone. It does pump me up abit. BUT, it's a great booster for a run or a workout! I no longer get sinus infections and I rarely get a serious cold. My resting heartrate is 60 and my BP is 120 over 60. The only thing that has changed is my menstural cycle....it's a little off | F | 40 | 2 years | 11/2/2008 | 3 | seasonal allergies | irritability, menstraul cramps and irregular bleeding,horrible dry mouth( i couldn't drink enough to get it to go away), fatigue,still had the feeling of excessive water in my ear | F | 23 | 23 days | 10/4/2008 | 4 | Allergies | Change in appetite. Lost 40 lbs. with this med and daily exercise. | This is for the Female that looks at her turds, it has a wax coating, it did not pass through you without dissolving. I take this in combination with Singular. Take in a.m. and again at lunch for restful night. | M | 47 | 6 months | 9/25/2008 | 3 | Ragweed allergies | I took an Allegra during the day and it really cleared me up however when I took before bed I could not sleep. I had to follow with a Benadryl just to sleep. I am a sound sleeper and this was irritating since I was tired and wanted to sleep. | I would just take in the morning. | F | 35 | 1 days | 9/17/2008 | 1 | Severe allergies, fluid in ears | Rapid Heart beat, dry mouth, couldn't sleep, anxious, irritable, no hunger when I ate within a hour my stomach had shooting pains and nausea. | After a week of taken this I'm taking myself off, definately not worth the side affects. At first made me think I was actually coming down with something, then doing some research found out it was this. | F | 24 | | 9/8/2008 | 3 | For allergies | I couldn't tell if it was working or not, but I did notice the whole pill pass through and came out in my turds. So, I guess the pill never went into my system. Yeah, I would look in the toilet and there was a whole Allegra in my turd!! | I started breaking the pills in half to see if that helped, but occasionally I would still see parts of the Allegra D in my turds. | F | 30 | 6 months | 9/4/2008 | 1 | Allergies to replace zyrtec D | Insominia- heart palpitations- irregular heartbeat. No history of heart problems. | I was on this drug to replace Zyrtec D- used it less than 10 days. I would be very wary of this product. Stopped Allegra D yesterday- today no heart palpitations. | M | 44 | 10 days | 9/2/2008 | 5 | My only side effect is that I'm never hungry. | DRINK PLENY OF WATER. Dehydration is probably what most of your side affects are from. | F | 30 | | 8/28/2008 | 4 | sinus/ear infection | Prescribed by my internal medicine doctor to be taken with 9 days of Levaquin - does ease congestion but I stopped taking the second one in the evening because I wasn't sleeping well. Not sure if rapid heart rate and physical sluggishness are due to Allegra or to the antibiotic. I have mild hypertension and my BP not affected at all but heart rate jumps by about 30-35 periodically during the day. Also am mildly diabetic and this has not changed my readings nor apparently has the antibiotic. | Today was my last Levaquin; i requested a few more samples of the Allegra D from doctor and got them -- wonder if I had a sinus infection at all since I am really just about the same as when I first saw the doctor and have finished my Rx. Guess a few more days will tell. The Allegra does make me feel better -- | F | 59 | 9 days | 8/7/2008 | 4 | Allergies | Dry mouth, trouble sleeping, increased focus, mild jitters, mild loss of appetite. | Seems to help more than anything else I have tried so far. Still have some stuffiness off & on, but overall I am less stuffy. | F | 36 | 3 days | 8/2/2008 | 4 | Allergies, Hay-Fever, Deviated Sept | Never really experienced any side effects. Recently started taking Lisinopril 10mg and experienced some effects but thought it was the Lis. Now up to 20mg of Lis and have dizziness frequently and almost fainted a few times. Maybe a combination of the Allegra-D and the 20mg of Lis is the problem. | It really helps my allergies and deviated septum issues, but don't know if it plays well with others. I am taking the Lis because the metro.. was interfering with my allergy shots. Has anyone else felt dizzy while taking Allegra-D with Lis? | M | 40 | 3 years | 7/22/2008 | 1 | seasonal allergies | insomnia, loss of appetite, racing heart, extreme irritability | I have been on this medication for 4 days and am taking myself off of it. Since taking the medication, I have not slept more than 2-3 hours a night, if that. My heart began racing today. I am generally an easy going person, but over the past 4 days have become very cranky and irritable to the point that I am angry and frustrated with everybody and everything (this could also be related to the sleep deprivation). I work full time and am the mother of 3 children, and do not feel I can function at home or at work. This is the worst medication I have ever taken. | F | 36 | 4 days | 7/19/2008 | 4 | Allergy to pollen | I feel happy and have a lot of energy. My allergy symptoms are gone. I am taking the 12 hour Allegra. I have so much energy I am running out of chores to do. I had to take valium to calm down enough to sleep at night. I think I am only going to take it in the AM and see how that goes. | So far, so good. | F | 37 | 1 days | 7/18/2008 | 3 | Allergies and congestion | rapid heart beat, insomnia, irritable and angry | I am sitting here with a heart monitor reading everyone's comments. My doctor recommended me to stop taking Allegra-D immediately. I don't have a history of heart problems and my blood pressure has always been normal. I never put two and two together until I looked up the side effects after talking with my doctor. I have been taking this drug for a year and a half. Please make sure you have your doctor check your heart rate every time you go into the doctor. If my family doctor would have checked it just once in the last year, I wouldn't be sitting here with a heart monitor. | F | 36 | 1.5 years | 7/17/2008 |
