"My 13-yr-old has seasonal allergies (spring), which, of course, vary each year. This year is worse - more congestion, coughing, and itchy throat. Normally, Claritin does the trick, but I tried Claritin-D 24 hr. It helped with the additional symptoms, but on the second day, my child had trouble sleeping, complained that the heart beat was faster, and was anxious. After reading other reviews of loratadine/pseudoephedrine, I realized these are indeed side effects and will have to go back to regular Claritin (without the pseudoephedrine)."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "Worst pill I have ever taken. After 14 hours of taking the pill, I feel tired, muscle pain... Same symptoms as when you have the flu. Didn't have any of these symptoms before taking the pill. Just the rhinitis, which, by the way, is still there but less symptomatic."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "Took it for a severe seasonal allergy attack about 9:30 this morning. It knocked out the allergies but knocked me out also. It’s 3:55 and I just woke up but my head is foggy, body is wobbly, and I can hear the blood pulsing through my head. Probably about to go back to sleep, staying awake is taking too much effort. Too strong for me. Husband takes it regularly with no side effects."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "Very effective at eliminating allergies, but will keep you awake all night long. I took the 24-hour one in the early morning, 7:30 am, and laid in bed for 5 hours before I could fall asleep."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "Great at eliminating allergies, but also eliminates sleep. I haven't slept in 4 nights, and after googling, now I see why! Not worth it."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "It worked for the allergies, but I cannot sleep. I took it early yesterday morning around 7, it is 1:15 am now. I tried melatonin and Benadryl, nothing! Never, never again!"

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "The worst medicine ever tried, shaking, anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia. Regular Claritin is much better, the pseudoephedrine is a dangerous drug."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "I have been taking this for my allergies for a few years now and LOVE it. The single daily dosage is great - I have NO 'downtime' between doses. However, every year the supply runs out."
