"33 years old male living in central Texas. Fexofenadine is extremely effective in eliminating hay fever and allergic symptoms, however, the problem comes with its side effects. Even with 45 mg per day, I'm still experiencing obvious nausea, but it still eliminated the hay fever. Only took the medicine for a week, recommended for a try, but wouldn't continue if you don't like the side effects."

"ENT prescribed generic for symptoms of unknown allergy causing dizziness and stuffy nose. The dizziness disappeared after 1 year of daily treatment. I used to use a cortisone nasal spray as well, but now only use saline nose spray for my nose stuffiness. It's so much better now, so I only take 1 in the am and 1 in the PM. It's also helped my major allergy to mosquito bites. I recently got a bee (not wasp or yellow jacket) sting and upped it back to 4 a day, and it did help me tolerate the itching and swelling. After 9 days, I developed cellulitis because of the sting, and the medication does nothing for that terrible itching. Only constant ice packs and major antibiotics are curing that."

Fexofenadine "I've gone through Zyrtec, Claritin, Xyzal, and Allegra has been the most consistent for me. Doesn't cause any drowsiness either, although I do take it at night."

"This medication didn't work for me. After a few days of taking it, I had a headache, back pain, nausea, a sore stomach, and poor appetite. I have gone back to over-the-counter medication."

Fexofenadine "The worst allergy medicine ever! I’ve taken Benadryl in the past, and it works, however, I didn’t want to be drowsy, so I thought I’d try Allegra. Nothing ever happened, very dissatisfied!"

Fexofenadine "It worked very well for my allergies, but the problem was I couldn't function due to extreme dizziness, to the point of vomiting. I cannot take it, so I'm taking Zyrtec."
