| 5 | allergies | a week of insomnia/interrupted sleep. SEVERE reaction with wine. I was taking the med at night for a few days and realized that while I could function on 3 hours of sleep, it probably wasn't healthy. I started taking it in the morning and waiting a few hours to eat. Side effects disappeared after another week and have had no problems since. | I would like to continue on the wine subject. The warnings specifically say to avoid fruit juice. I assume now that wine would be classified as fruit juice. After drinking a glass or two, I became violently ill and the feeling lasted for a full 24 hours. If you are a wine drinker, beware. | F | 37 | 26 days | 7/14/2008 | 3 | oral thrush, allergies | vertigo, dizziness, fainting, collapsing, inability to walk straight | Slightly reduced nasal dripping and throat irritation but produced severe side effects | M | 28 | 4 weeks | 7/11/2008 | 1 | severe sinus infection | dry eyes and mouth, constipation, blurred vision, hungry but when I go to eat, can not stomach a lot. Insomnia, bad nausea by the third day | My doctor only prescribed it for me for 10 days 1 pill instead of two daily and I have to finish 4 more days for a total of 10. Can NOT wait to get off of it!!! I will hopefully never be told to take this again | F | 49 | 6 days | 7/6/2008 | 3 | seasonal allergies | insomnia, jittery, nervousness, increase heart rate, irritability, dry mouth, loss of appetite, nausea | This drug definitely clears up the allergy symptoms, but I'm not sure if it's worth the trade off! | F | 25 | 2 days | 7/1/2008 | 4 | seasonal allergies | nervousness,heart palps, stomach upset, body ache. Similar to every bad side effect previously mentioned. I am pissed at my Doc for not even thinking this could be the reason for my high blood pressure.I am taking myself off this stuff before I have a heart attack. | I have been taking this drug for a long time and now have high blood pressure. I am not overweight. I have had all of the side effects everyone else has had. So I stopped taking Allegra D last week and since have had very bad headaches. I reluctantly took an Allegra D last night and the headache went away. I have tried other things but this is the only poison that works. | F | 49 | 5 years | 6/24/2008 | 3 | seasonal allergies | sleeplessness, anxiety | I take the 24-hour tab at approx 8am, only when seasonal allergies are flaring up. It works very well to control allergy symptoms - but here it is, 3am, and I'm wide awake! (This from a person who can usually sleep through anything.) I seem to fall asleep OK, but get very restless sleep, tossing and turning, and end up putzing around the house in the middle of the night until it finally wears off. | F | 39 | 120 days | 6/20/2008 | 1 | nasal congestion | took the24 d around noon could not sleep at all did not eat much | done after 3 days hope the dr has a better idea | M | 40 | 3 days | 6/19/2008 | 3 | hayfever, seasonal allergies | Intermittent sleep, Complete loss of appetite, I have lost 20 lbs in about 2 months... not good for me. Back and neck pain, severe dry mouth, severe headache that begins just above and behind the left eye. | Works for the allergies but can't deal with side effects, I stopped this morning after reading this site. | M | 32 | 2 months | 6/18/2008 | 5 | allergies | Lost 10 pounds less than a month. IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT! clears you up! | I take it once in the morning. I do have trouble sleeping, but i had trouble sleeping before. Sometimes i use a saline solution nasal spray, to help with the dryness and to clear my nose. The combination works wonders. | M | 38 | 4 weeks | 6/15/2008 | 4 | sinus congestion and pressure | It definitely worked but after taking it for 3 years on and off I finally decided to check your webpage out and realized that when I am on the medication I experience jitters, heart palps,restlessness and anger when there isn't any need to be angry, and now I had a severe cold sweat and nausea episode after taking Allegra D with coffee and within hours I felt as though I would faint. I never thought all my ups and downs could be caused by this medication but now think this has been my problem. I loved this medication and it really did work but I am now going to go off it. | I just wish I had checked about serious side effects more closely. | F | 60 | 3 years | 6/14/2008 | 5 | Allergies | On 2 Occasions, i found that the pill passed through whole. However, did not upset my stomach or give me any other side effect associated with it. I spoke with my Dr. and he said it is very, very rare, but not harmful. If it continues to happen obviously switch meds because i am not getting the correct dose needed. | I only take allegra D in the AM, and i take zyrtec in the evening. The combination works well for me, and the side effects are so mild that i will continue to take it. | F | 26 | 4 months | 5/28/2008 | 1 | Sinus Cold | My Side effect: Insomnia! | Dr. Prescribed one pill twice a day! The first night (after taking one pill), I slept 2 hours. The second night, I slept three hours. The third day I only took one Allegra-D pill in the morning, but still only slept about 5-1/2 hours. I typically slept 8 hours/night. This stuff totally messed up my sleep! I would rather deal with the cold sickness, verses the lack of sleeping. One odd thing: Though I have had very little sleep, I do not feel tired! No yawning, nodding, nothing. I am perky all day, but then just lay in bed waiting to fall asleep. This whole situation concerns me! So I am off the "sauce". | F | 35 | 3 days | 5/9/2008 | 4 | Constant drip | I find myself just short of being a little wired..but not uncomfortable..hoping it goes away | I've taken everything in the book and this is the first med to completely stop my body's constant build up of phlegm. I din't have a dry mouth. I have no unsettling side effects. I can sleep just fine. I'm not drowsy. As a new user, I hope that side effects that others mention, do not kick in...so, for the moment, I'm extremely pleased with the med. | M | 58 | 5 days | 5/5/2008 | 3 | Allergies | insomnia, chest pain, irritability | I have been taking this for a week and a half and the chest pain is unbearable. Also, I haven't slept thru the night since I started it. I probably wake up at least 5 times a night. | F | 26 | 1.5 weeks | 5/2/2008 | 2 | allergies ictch eyes | indigestion. I took my first pill 4 days ago in the morning and later that evening had major indigestion... and now the indigestion hits me within the hour | Four days ago I thought that I either ate too much or I had acid reflux, but today I took the pill later in the day and guess what? Indigestion hit me within the hour..no more allegra d for me! and it is supposed to be non-drowsy, but its not 100% more like 75% non drowsy and lots lots of Indigestion | M | 100 | 4 days | 4/25/2008 | 5 | Allergies, congestion | No side effects after six days. It has helped a GREAT deal. I have read all of the comments on this page and almost became a hypochondriac. Hopefull I will be ok with it as it does work for me. | The snoring has dramatically quietened down, if not totally stopped. Feel 100% better | F | 43 | 6 days | 4/23/2008 | 4 | Nasal congestion, sneezing | Dry mouth, light headedness, intense orgasms (maybe the last one isn't so bad) | M | 31 | 7 days | 4/19/2008 | 1 | Every word of the fourth guy down on the ratings page is word for word every problem I've experienced. -Rather have the allergy. | F | 33 | | 4/11/2008 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | ED...imagine the shock!!! | I have been taking Allegra for a couple of years now...every day. Occasionally, when my nose is really stopped up, I'l take an Allegra-D. With regular Allegra, I'm fine. With Allegra-D, I experience ED for 24-36 hours after taking. I have never had this problem before, and don't have a problem if I don't take the 'D' version. I'll NEVER take another Allegra-D! | M | 51 | 2 years | 4/3/2008 | 4 | Sinus congestion, Sneezing | None really. Maybe a little tired at first but nothing that would keep me from normal activity. | Wow, a lot of hypochondriacs on here, this allergy drug pretty much had no side effects mentioned by everyone here. I took it at 10 am and fell asleep great by normal bedtime(11'ish). It helped dry my sinus and post-nasal drip but I can get the same effect by taking Sudafed. | M | 20 | 1 days | 4/2/2008 |
