Fexofenadine for Allergic Rhinitis "Recently, I have been having very bad allergies and went to the doctor. She said that I should try Allegra (not Allegra-D) and that it is available over the counter. I went to the store but could not find any adult 12-hour Allegra. This disappointed me because I knew the 24-hour pills usually don't work. I went ahead and bought the smallest package of pills I could get (5) of the 180 mg dosage. I took one, and it cleared up my symptoms and made me feel better, but that night I woke up after about 4 hours of sleep and could not get back to sleep. I didn't take one the next day as I wanted to get a good night's rest. Yesterday, I took another, and the same thing happened again. I just want to sleep!"

Fexofenadine for Allergic Rhinitis "I received this medication as a free sample via U.S. mail. It cleared my sinuses for 24 hours, but I was also bolt awake for 24 hours, like I was on some kind of stimulant. I would take it in severe sinusitis attacks, but not for routine allergy treatment. It also dried my sinuses out so badly that I was afraid I'd get a nosebleed for days afterward."

Fexofenadine for Allergic Rhinitis "Allegra is really good at working for hay fever, but I have been using antidepressants for about two years, and I am having some sleeping problems now. Using Allegra is making it hard to get to sleep early."

For Urticaria "This drug is highly addictive. Once you stop taking it, you start having withdrawal symptoms: chest pains, headaches, and disturbed sleep. It takes a couple of weeks to get out of your system."

For Urticaria "Took Telfast 180 mg. Gives some relief for allergies, but the side effects are horrible. Severe headache, anxiety, agitation, dry eyes, intense nightmares, insomnia, aches and pains, exhaustion. I was a terrified, angry mess on it that could not sleep or focus."
