Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "I take the 24-hour CVS brand (Claritin-D) ONLY when I'm really bad congested. And I also get post-nasal drip when my allergies act up. It works 100 percent, clears up my nose and stops the post-nasal drip. Also helps with my headache too, I get from my allergies acting up. I definitely experience the jitters and dry mouth. I have an anxiety disorder, so that's the part I don't like because the jitters make me feel more anxious. It does not affect my sleep like I read it does others. I take it every blue moon, only when I'm really bad congested. I can handle the side effects."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "My doctor recommended Claritin-D since I have been having problems with my ears relating to allergies. I took one pill at night thinking it would make me drowsy when it did the exact opposite. I was wide awake the entire night, my heart was racing, and I was beyond jittery. I even felt paranoid at one point. I took one of my hydroxyzine pills in hopes it would help, it didn’t. I already have anxiety, and I felt like I was on the verge of having a panic attack on this medicine. The next day I feel dizzy still, and my mouth is dry. I would not recommend this medicine at night, especially if you already have anxiety."

"I found Alavert to be extremely effective with two side effects, and depending on how bad you feel, they might not bother you. I noticed I had a ton of energy and couldn't go to sleep, so I found myself cleaning. My house is better because of it. I also found myself getting up to pee almost every hour once I fell asleep. All in all, it relieved my headache, dizziness, and nasal congestion."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "I've been denied the last 2 months on the purchase of Claritin D. I'm suffering with congestion, itchy eyes, runny nose. Regular Claritin doesn't work. Only Claritin D. But when you need it, you can't buy it."

"The side effects were/are horrible. I took this 30 hours ago, and I still have anxiety. I didn't sleep the whole night! I feel like I was on drugs! I will never take this again. The pseudoephedrine is too stimulating."

"OMG, I went to the doctor ($75 copay) and then was prescribed this OTC legal “drug.” I tried to go to work, and it felt like I was on something illegal. The pseudoephedrine ingredient caused me to hallucinate, couldn’t focus at all, and I had the worst anxiety ever. I tried to rest, and I had horrible racing thoughts and really strange negative thoughts too. It was awful. I don't think it helped my runny nose and “allergies.” It just made me feel mentally unwell. The side effect was far worse than it helping. I wouldn’t take this again if you paid me!"

"I took the Kroger version of the Claritin D, and I have slept only 4 hours in 2 days. The medicine definitely works for the post-nasal drip and congestion, but I cannot sleep!!! I'm going to try taking it at 5 am instead of 5 pm."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "I took loratadine with pseudoephedrine for a sinus infection, and it’s working great so far. It gave me night sweats because of the antihistamine in it, just like Benadryl does sometimes to me. I just woke up and had to grab a towel to lay on in bed."

"I have severe congestion in my nose. I have difficulty breathing trying to go to sleep. I have seen the ENT. After a suggestion, I tried Claritin-D, and it really works. I can breathe again, but I can only buy a 15 count at a time. And so I end up every 2 weeks at Walgreens. And some of these employees treat me like I'm some kind of a drug dealer. It's ridiculous, but I have to go every 2 weeks to get this medication because they only allow fifteen tablets at a time max. If it's an issue with the quantity, maybe they should allow you to bypass the quantity with a doctor's prescription so that people that have my issue can get a 30-day supply. It is ridiculous to be treated like that over a nasal decongestant. I'm just trying to be able to breathe normally. Very sad the stigma over this medication. It's ridiculous and uncalled for."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "The medication really helps relieve my sinus congestion. I prefer it over the other name brand. However, they've made the packaging so hard to get the pill out I wonder if they are trying to kill the product. It was hard enough to get it out before, but now in the new packaging, it's even harder."

Loratadine / pseudoephedrine "12-hour Claritin D has worked wonders for me. It clears all the congestion in my head from my allergies and it produces no ill side effects for me. Through the years, I have had bad reactions to Benadryl, Sudafed, and a prescription decongestant, but for whatever reason, 12-hour Claritin D is perfect for me. I take one tablet daily."
