Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "I took this pill one time, and it’s horrible. I couldn’t eat and nervousness is an understatement. The bottom line is this.. I now realize why you can only purchase it from behind the counter of a pharmacy. I have never done meth, but this is probably a pretty close first. You all know that this is the main ingredient used to make meth.. right? Horrible. I’ll stick with the congestion."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "Claritin-D is amazing. It allows me to breathe and work/drive/live at the same time. I actually feel better than normal when I take it. I wake more refreshed and seem to focus better. No negative side effects for me."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "I have post nasal drip and swelling from mucus in my throat. I’ve had surgery which was only about 50% effective. I started taking Claritin d about 3 years ago and it helped open me up but made me to jittery and made my heart race. I needed the pseudoephedrine to open me up. I discovered if I cut it in half it doesn’t effect me as bad and it still works to open me up. I have to take it by 10 am so it doesn’t effect my sleep later. No other effects from this medicine"

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "This Claritin-D is good for nasal congestion and allergies. However, I have about 2-3hr sleep per night. The worst side effect is that it restricts urinary flow and it makes the urine cloudy. It caused blurry vision and raised blood pressure. (maybe due to the pseudoephedrine?) I thought I was having kidney failure with the restricted urination. Be careful when taking this medication."

Claritin-D 24 Hour (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "I have a bad spring allergies which last me about 2months. I was sick and tired of blowing my nose millions times a day and couldn't breath through the nose. My classmate suggested that I take Claritin-D 24 hours. This pill works great but there is huge side effect which I hate it. Pros - cleared my nasal passage, stop sneezing, stop itchy eyes, stop running nose. Cons - Dry mouth, weak, Insomnia, dizzy, feeling high, and pain on my thigh and leg. But, otherwise this works great, such a life saver."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Like many have said, it definitely cleared up the horrible sinus pressure I was having but the trade off was spending the entire day feeling 10x more miserable because of the crazy side effects. It made me feel drowsy, woozy, and extremely nauseous while also feeling anxious, unable to concentrate and unable to sleep all at the same time. I also had a sensation of pressure on my chest and feeling like my heart was racing. Never again."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Worked great for my sinus and allergies. Had head and throats issues so bad so the pharmacist recommended Claritin D 24 hr.... I made the mistake of taking it at noon and it is now 6am and I'm still awake. Wired and jittery and my anxiety is ragging. I can't stop still... not worth the lack of sleep."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "I have taken regular Claritin for years with no ill effects. My wife went to pharmacy to pick up for me and they gave her Claritin D 24 hour. I asked her what it was as the package looked different she explained that the pharmacy told her it’s a new formula. I took it for 6 days and had terrible insomnia, fast heart beat, anxiety all day. I did not realize that the medication contained an extra ingredient, it had loratadine plus Pseudoephedrine. It was the pseudoephedrine that cause of this nad I had just though it was regular Claritin. This medication should come with very clear warnings as it is actually dangerous."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "Incredible med!!! Have tried everything for allergic nasal congestion for years. I take the Claritin 12 hour in the morning which keeps my head clear for 24 hours. The 12 hour works for 24 hours for me. Wake up unplugged!! I also use a Navage sinus rinse to clean my sinuses 2 times a day."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I took this at 7 am to try and fix itchy eyes. So far, 4 hours later, there is still slight itchiness and wateriness. Worse is the side-effects. I feel slightly jittery, yet mentally it feels like I've taken a tranquillizer. I don't feel I'm safe to drive. Basically if you are a first time user of the 24 hour version, don't try it on a day you have to use a car."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "claritin D is very effective for getting rid of congestion. Also very effective at getting rid of any chance for a good nights sleep. I was taking it for about a week and got about 1 hour of sleep each night before I figured out what was causing my insomnia. back to regular Claritin for me. I would much rather suffer worse symptoms than not sleep at all."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "Took Claritin 12 hour for the first and last time, my side effects were that I could not pee or sleep. I had to go to the hospital and now have had a catheter for three days. I think this should be taken off the shelf - mine is in the garbage."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "Well Claritin-D didn't clear up my congestion, in fact it only got worse as did the stuffy feeling in my ears. I had no appetite which was nice, and energy enough to play ball twice in the backyard, take my dog on an extra long walk, AND do my first mini workout in 6 months, all after a long work day after 9pm at night. I just thought I felt good or something - then came the no sleep and I realised it was the pseudoephedrine in the Claritin-D and I had to take 2 valium just to sleep! "

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "I love this product. It clears my congestion and in 30 minutes I can breath again. I prepare for the side effects and, for me, they are worth being able to get air up my nose. My day takes a 180 turn for the better. Oxygen level goes up. Life is good."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "I have really bad season allergies and was desperate to get rid of my horrible nasal congestion. As advertised, this drug does wonders for your nose but I the side effects that come with it are almost unbearable. Constant dull headache, makes you jittery and super anxious, random muscle spasms and sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode. The lack of sleep tops it off. Sure it’s great to breathe but the side effects it comes with doesn’t seem worth it. I only took the drug for five days before I had to stop."

Claritin-D 24 Hour (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "I started this medication 5 days ago due to post nasal drip, phlegm coughs, runny nose... My doctor told me to take 24 hour. As far as side effects: I experienced slight insomnia...a little longer to fall asleep, my head is not quite clear, I feel a little foggy, when I need to concentrate and a little fatigue. No major side effects. The medication has helped but has not completely "cured" me. So overall, it's worked but it's not a miracle."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "Instead of going for my good old generic Sudafed-PE, I went for Claritin-D. Strike one. I got 24 hour relief ones. Strike two. I took the first (and only) pill at noon yesterday. It's past noon, and I had no sleep in the last 24 hours, I don't know how I am still awake. On the bright side, it does wonders to my post nasal drip, and stuffy nose. Still not worth it."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "I used this before it went to over the counter. Indoor and outdoor allergies with previous sinus surgery. This works great for me. I do get the 12hour formula and make sure I take it before 6:00 am though. I also use the non decongestant form in the winter."

Claritin-D (loratadine / pseudoephedrine) for Nasal Congestion "Well, it definitely worked as far as my runny nose and nasal congestion went. It stopped all my allergy symptoms but It kept me up close to 48 hours. I didn't bother googling this until day two. I took the first pill around 6pm, was up all night and into the afternoon of the next day. My symptoms started to reappear just as I began to get a little sleepy at work so I took another one, somehow I still didn't quite connect my sleeplessness with the Claritin D. Well I was up the entire second night and while I was literally pacing I decided to google this and found that insomnia is a side effect of the pseudoephedrine. Didn't take the pill again and on the third day, around 2pm, I was ready to pass out. Literally, I had to catch a ride from work because I couldn't stay up."
