That is really strange as taking claritin can cause depression. However, Claritin D does have pseudoephedrine in it and pseudoephedrine does make some people feel more energetic and in general all over good feeling, so possibly when you stopped, depression took hold from not having the energetic all around good feeling.

Oh I see, sorry I didn't get that detail the first time around. Still, of all many feelings we can get, why that one? Anyway, it's worth a Dr visit because you do not want to have to take Claritin the rest of your life when these symptoms are the only alternative.
do you think I should quit taking claritin without medical help what should I do
Thanks I think I'm going to talk to a doctor
