For Allergic Rhinitis "So I took this product for the first time, and all I can say is they need to find a way to create medicine that side effects aren't worse than what you're using it to treat. I have major allergies, but I'd rather suffer with the stuffy, runny nose, sinus headache, itchy, watery eyes, and cough than to ever take this medication again. It's just not worth all the side effects."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My experiences have been hit or miss. Sometimes I will take Claritin-D and immediately feel better. Other times, like this one now that has led me to this thread, I have had congestion and watery eyes for 24 hours. Now, after taking Claritin-D, my nose won’t stop running, and my eyes are even worse. This has happened before, so I will be switching allergy medications soon."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My allergy symptoms have been coming and going for a couple of weeks now and very minimal. Taking the medication did help a little, but it took quite a while for the symptoms to be alleviated. I have taken it again today first thing in the morning because I was feeling a little stuffy, nothing more than usual, and my symptoms have worsened significantly through the morning, and I have had absolutely zero relief. Eyes swelled and itchy, sneezing, and nose constantly running and feeling the need to take it right off because so itchy! Despite supposedly giving 24 hours, I am going to have to take something else to make it through the rest of the day at work and be able to function properly! Not impressed with what is claiming to give fast relief!"
