Fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine for Allergic Rhinitis "This medicine works great for allergies. However, day five into taking it, I’m experiencing major depression/personality changes. I don’t feel like myself at all, and there’s nothing else in my life that would contribute to this. My personality feels extremely subdued, I’m withdrawn, don’t care about anything or anyone, and negative self-talk has significantly increased... this is not who I am! I’ll be stopping this medication tomorrow."

Fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine for Allergic Rhinitis "Do NOT take this medicine. It should be illegal. I took it for 3 days, and all 3 days I felt nauseous, dizzy, unmotivated, and depressed. The worst part is I haven’t slept more than 2-3 hours a night. This medication will disrupt your life. I usually take Zyrtec D but decided to try Allegra out - my allergies have gotten exponentially worse on it. I have had severe sinus pressure, a cough, and headaches in addition to all the other symptoms."

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 I've been less motivated, more depressed, socially withdrawn, have had more problems in my family/friend relationships, and I don't do things that I used to enjoy.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."

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 anytime soon unless I absolutely HAVE to."
