For Allergic Rhinitis "I was prescribed Claritin by my ENT. I was told to take it every morning, which I did, but after a few hours of taking it, I would get the worst neck pain/headaches. I also got joint pain in my knees. I looked up these two side effects and sure enough a good percent of female patients aged 49+ reported these side effects. Seems more common in females. It did nothing whatsoever for my severe allergies and my Otis externa. I couldn't take the pain from this drug and stopped. Within 24 hours, the painful aches went away."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Took one 24-hour Claritin on Sunday. Within hours, my itchy eyes and runny/stuffy nose had cleared. Took a second Claritin on Monday. Poor sleep that night. Tuesday morning, getting out of bed, I experienced a terrible backache and the beginnings of a headache that Tylenol didn't touch. Backache lasted all day. Stopped Claritin before my third dose. Today is Wednesday, and I'm feeling zombie-like, fatigued, with lingering back pain. Much as I had hoped this might be my miracle pill, it's not. I'm a 70+ year-old lady in good health who will not be taking this again."

For Allergic Rhinitis "24-hour pill, and I still have 14 hours to go. Fluttering of the heart has made this drug very uninviting. Head is more stuffed now than when I started it. Not a very comfortable feeling. Headache, stuffy nose, jitters, and some stomach discomfort. Use caution."
