"I am allergic to mold and mildew, short of moving to AZ I have allergies 24/7 365 days. I have been on Allegra D for better than 8 years. I have no side effects and without it I would not be breathing. I also use a nasal spray when the pills can't keep the nasal passages clear enough for me to breath (mostly spring and fall). Prescription plans stopped covering it over two years ago so OTC has cut my costs but a pain to have to buy every 10 days."

Allegra-D 12 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I have bad allergies, always have. This drug has ephedra in it, so anyone complaining about side effects - DO YOUR DILIGENCE BEFORE PUTTING A DRUG INTO YOUR BODY. Know what you are taking, and the side effects. So.. This medicine effects people the same way speed/stimulants do. Either good for your chemistry or the opposite. I personally loved it. It solved all of my post nasal, allergy, sinus problems. Unfortunately I became completely dependant on it. To the point where I had to take it or I could not focus/work. Well after about 5 years, and AS ADVERTISED, I developed some negative and severe side effects. I had to stop taking it because I slowly developed the opposite of runny, stuffy nose. I became too dry. Sore throat. Hurts to breath air in, and now .. a year after stopping I have chronic sore, dry, throat. I think I permanently dried out my mucus membranes, lol. REMEMBER people, research what you're putting in your body. I still give it 10 stars. Works. Or its covid, who knows!"

Allegra-D 24 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I tried some samples my doctor had supplied for allergy symptoms. It has helped my allergy symptoms and also seems to be an appetite suppressant. I had no adverse side effects. I got a prescription and wow is it expensive! My insurance plan wouldn't pay for i."

Allegra-D 24 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Lately, I have been so confused and unable to focus in school. This began shortly after I started attending my university. I've been more irritable, I don't like anybody anymore, I've been less motivated, more depressed, socially withdrawn, have had more problems in my family/friend relationships, and I don't do things that I used to enjoy. This all began after I started taking this medication—I was doing fine in school and was motivated to succeed until I began taking Allegra D. I wouldn't recommend this drug to anybody."

Allegra-D 12 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I used to take an allergy drug called Ornade some years ago. It provided me instant relief of my allergy symptoms (hayfever and ragweed-related). Since then the only allergy medication that gives me that kind of relief is Allegra-D. "

Allegra-D 24 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Completely ineffective and actually made things worse. My allergies were really bad this year so a pharmacist recommended I try this. After three days it's left me with incredible pressure in my sinuses and ears affecting my balance, and had no effect on my runny nose. I'm stuck suffering another 24 hours until I can take something else. Will never use this again."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Allegra-D 24 hour has been the best thing for clearing my chronic rhinitis. However, I've also been suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness and am wondering if taking this in combination with Lexapro (for anxiety) is causing it."

For Allergic Rhinitis "For months I had a pain on the top right side of my head, not a headache. No Doctor was able to find out what is causing the pain and dizziness when bending over to pick up anything at all but figured that maybe be some type of allergy to the nasal section. This medicine FEXOFENADINE-D 24 HOUR, after a few days of usage the pain has been released and was able to bend over to pick up anything without getting dizzy. I was thinking that I was better and stopped taking it for a few days and all systems came back. I'm not really good in medication information but I know I have not gotten any side effects and am doing good when I take them as directed."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I've been taking Fexet D for the past two days and I've been absolutely miserable. I have acute sinusitis and this medicine does help with the congestion, however, it also makes me extremely nauseous, irritable, and depressed. It also makes me sneeze excessively, and makes me extremely light headed. Will not be taking it again any time soon unless I absolutely HAVE to"

Allegra-D 12 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Picked a different allergy medicine like with chlorpheniramine. I have allergies to dust and pet dander as well and have to travel all the time for work and hotels always mess me up. Tried this (useless...a dust mask would have worked better than this junk). The Pharmacy didn't have chlor triplon which is what I usually use to prevent me from waking up having an allergy attack from nasal drip. Guess I know better now."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Omg I have been on Fexofenodine for over two years and for at least as long I thought my insomnia was perimenopausal but since I have ceased taking it my sleep has come back, call it coincidence but this has aged me and I will never fully be able to repair the damage it has done to me through lack of sleep. I will just use Loratadine in future no more bad nights for me."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I'm severely allergic to mold, dust and some seasonal allergens. Allegra D is the only medicine I've tried that gives me fast relief (Within 15-20 mins from taking). An attack can come on very fast and is severe enough that I have injured myself scratching my face and eyes. I have a mild asthmatic type attack with this also. This medicine is a life saver for me."

For Allergic Rhinitis "#2 .... It cut me off....I have been in recovery for 2 years. So it has been 2 years since I have felt this but I would never forget this feeling and this DRUG is not worth taking for me. I would never recommend this to anyone. This is highly addictive and they should be working on finding something more effective without all the side effects. But I'm sure the government like getting their money from the people after they get addicted to this. Do yourself a favor do not take this medicine"

Allegra-D 24 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I had a bad experience with mould in my camper 2 years ago. Every morning it would take 2 hours to clear my chest with coughing and hard to breathe. I suffered it for 2 years, even when I’m not camping. Then this year I tried Allegra 24 hour and my relief is almost instant and lasts all day. I have no side effects."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Allegra-D (24 hour) does relieve my nasal symptoms very quickly, and the relief last a long time. The downside of this medication for me is that it increases my anxiety drastically. I lose my temper, and over-react concerning the slightest things. When I came off of it I returned to my normal self and began to enjoy life again. When I decided to go back on Allegra I began to suffer from the same side effects. So I know it's the medication."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have what I'll deem "allergy attacks", primarily to tree pollen. I tried Allegra for the first time and it worked on my allergies. I took it 3PM Sunday and was better that evening. I took another pill Monday at 7AM and a third Monday at 7PM (instructions read once every 12 hours). Monday night I went to bed at 10PM, woke up at 12 midnight and was unable to fall back asleep again. I was exhausted, eyes gritty, but could not fall asleep no matter what. I will try a lower dose (once every 24 hrs) but not sleeping isn't worth curing the allergy."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Allegra works really well for hay fever. I don't like the side effects though. I haven't experienced insomnia but I feel super hot (body temperature) when I take it. I also feel thirsty as well. I do suggest taking on your day off to see how your body acts on it."

Allegra-D 24 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "When everything else failed I tried this for the first time many years ago and it worked. If I stop it and the only bad thing that ever happened was I noticed I had some cold sweats at night other than that I give it a 8. I'm going to take it 3 years after that time I had stop let's see if it works again like you did the first time"

Allegra-D 24 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I have used Allegra-D for years. I believe it was better as a kid. I do believe they took something out of it when they put it over the counter. I find that I have to add another allergy pill with it at times depending on how bad my allergies are. I never used to have to do that when it was prescription. However, it is the most effective allergy pill still, and my doctor had me try a few, and none of them worked as well as this one. Some side effects are sleepiness and drowsiness. I do not use it long-term, maybe 3 to 4 days depending on how bad."

Allegra-D 12 Hour (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "My husband is 83 years young - he took Allegra-D at 7:00 a.m. - at 11:00 a.m. he became dizzy and thought he was dying. He does have a heart pacemaker - and I should have looked online to check if it was okay to take the drug. He has taken Zyrtec in the past with no reaction, but it could be the D - that caused the problem."
